Reply #4: A Congressman doesn't know what we're giving oil giants in tax subsidies?

[keopeli]

But he knows he just cut 39 billion in taxpayer services?

That's a bald faced lie. They all know that the tax cut for the rich is like 900 Billion (I don't know for sure, just recollection). They know that oil gets almost 70 Billion in tax breaks. They know GE didn't pay a dime last year. And they know that they just cut many social services by 39 billion on top of the initial 30 billion cut originally.

We can't sit by and let these people lie to us. They want money from big oil so they can keep their job, so they give them money. Your and my vote is worth nothing to them.

Our elected officials should have the balls to look at big oil and say, you'll give me money for my campaign and you'll also pay a LOT more in taxes this year and every year until we've fixed this mess Bush and the banks and war companies got us into. And (they should have the balls to say) you, big companies and rich people will do it and like it. You know why? Because we're going to protect you from the wrath of the American people. And, if you don't, we'll work our constituents up into a frenzy until you lose so much money you'll come BEGGING me for help.

THAT'S what an elected representative is SUPPOSED to do.

Not say, "What? Cut oil subsidies? Hmm. I never thought of that. I'll have to look into it and get back to you."

F YOU, Republican wealthy scumbags. And Dems too, if they don't get with the program.

WE have to DEMAND this of our representatives! It's not about voting. Voting is rigged by the wealthy. If it wasn't for our consumption of their products, these wealthy scum would have NOTHING. WE have the power to STOP spending our money on them. WE have the power to CHOOSE who we want to make rich and who we want to make poor. WE have to WAKE UP and START making noise.

God, this hubris just pisses me off!
