This is Marjorie Taylor Greene's company.
@RepMTG had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.
Loan forgiveness for me, not for thee.

(82,849 posts)The date of the loan is April 10, 2020, the first round of PPP loans. At that time, the Trump administration was just pushing money out the door, and the first folks to belly up to the trough were the connected ones, like members of Congress. There was a crisis going on, and small business owners had to have money, right friggin' now, so the applications weren't scrutinized very closely. So, this $180+K was supposed to go to payroll expenses, but nobody will ever know for sure where the money went. And since the loan has been forgiven, nobody will dig too deeply into the matter.

IOW: Were there 12 employees? Were those 12 employees working and paid during the pandemic? Was this a legitimate company, i.e., not formed solely for the purposes of skimming money from PPP. Etc.
Anyone working for the government who took government loans should be investigated to eliminate any appearance of impropriety or fraud. I'm sure there would be a lot to discover.

Self-funding QAnon candidate gave own campaign $450,000 after getting PPP loan
Watchdog group, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene's former GOP opponent, call on her to give the money back

Marjorie Taylor Greene
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon conspiracy theorist and Republican candidate who is expected to win her House race in Georgia next month, donated $450,000 to her own campaign after receiving a six-figure Paycheck Protection Program loan from the government for her construction company.
Greene, who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and posted videos attacking Black people, Muslims and Jews, won the Republican primary in Georgia's 14th congressional district in August despite opposition from Republican leaders. She is almost certain to take over the seat now held by retiring Republican Rep. Tom Graves, especially after her Democratic opponent dropped out of the race last month in a district President Trump carried by 50 points. Trump has since praised Greene as a "future Republican star."
Greene's bid was partially funded by a super PAC allied with the House Freedom Caucus, which has opposed additional funding to provide coronavirus relief to Americans. Greene has opposed additional spending as well, declaring in a Facebook video that "the best stimulus for Americans is allowing Americans to go back to work!"
Despite her opposition to the stimulus funding and the PPP, her family's company, Taylor Commercial, received a six-figure PPP loan worth between $150,000 and $350,000 earlier this year. New York Magazine reported that her name had stopped appearing on the company's registration forms in 2012 but was added back in 2019.

(8,862 posts)Obviously one who probably couldn't pass the high school GED.........
Recently she was saying the reason for no air-conditioning being available to people would be the switch to Solar power, I guess she never heard of batteries that Solar uses..........
Same when she, and others, have parroted about not being able to watch your TV after sunset if using Solar system....
And to all those who voted for her, you must be the most stupid people on earth, having voted for her, when she spouted this insanely pathetic shit...........
