More Republican Lies and Hypocrisy

Representative Mike Pence of Indiana gave a press conference today that was an incredibly vivid display of repubLIEcan dishonesty. He stood there bold face and called a bill voted on today to keep the tax breaks for 95% of Americans a tax increase. He then claimed that by not giving a continued tax break to the richest Americans, those making over $250,000 a year to be hurting small business and family farmers.

First of all how many family farmers do you know that make more than $250,000 a year, and any small business that makes more than that, that files taxes as an individual rather than a corporation has an idiot for an accountant. These tax breaks are NOT on corporate taxes but individual taxes. Have no doubt, the tax breaks the Republicans want added are for the richest of the rich period, not you not me.

The Republicans want to give a reward to the rich who filled their campaign coffers with unlimited donations in this last election period. This is not about creating jobs, and it surely does not help with the deficit, In fact adding the tax cut they want would add 700,000 million to the deficit.

Sure when it comes to helping the unemployed with extended benefits they scream about the national debt but to help the rich, apparently it’s no problem.

They keep repeating that the American people made it clear what they wanted in the last election. Really now did Americans vote to increase the national debt to give the richest Americans a tax break? Did they vote for more lies and hypocrisy? I don't think so.

Even a temporary give away to the rich for two years isn’t enough for Senator Jim Demint he wants this deficit killing measure to be made permanent.
Conservatives my ass.

Who do the repubLIEcan’s represent? Not you.
