Hi Woody,

“Bwany Fwank” et al. know all this, but they are totally compromised crimpols that do the bidding of their bankster masters. They could give a hoot less about “We the People”. Every time I listen to lisping “Bwany” speak I have a cold rage well up inside knowing that we must suffer such “convenient” incompetency at the hands of this plug-in mattoid et al. in Congress cut from the same cloth…! : |

Giving banks money to lend didn’t work at the beginning of the year…so what’s changed?

Mom and Pop have already maxed out their credit, so how will them getting more loans they can’t pay off make them hire anyone?

When Republicans in Congress almost all vote against a bill to help small businesses obtain credit, hire new workers, and grow, that demonstrates quite clearly just who they work for: They don’t give a rat’s ass about people who make less than $1,000,000 per year, though they would like you to think they are the party for every hot dog vendor and drywall contractor.

The numbers don’t lie: Obama’s proposal to raise the top tax rate from 36% to 39% at $250,000 AGI would give a small business executive earning $300K a $1,500 increase ((300K-250K) * 0.03). That’s less than he spends on coffee! On the other hand, the CEO making $1M per year has to pay out $22,500 (enough to buy his daughter her first car). And the stinking rich making $100M per year may have to pay the full 39% on their corporate bond dividends instead of getting Bush’s 15% discount rate ($24M tax increase). That’s the part of Obama’s proposal the Republicans will do anything to stop, since those are their real bosses (The “have-mores” to quote GWB.)
