Hey dummy…please choose from one of my talking points?
I don’t know who created Senator Cornyn’s job survey which was published in his not-so-weekly Lone Star Weekly e-newsletter. If you participated in the survey and answered anything but other, you gave the Senator a talking point that he will use to enrich the rich. Let’s consider the options.
Fewer Government Regulations: What does fewer government regulations do for you? Very little unless you are a multi-national corporation. Senator Cornyn’s agenda is to turn the US into China…or India, Indonesia, Malaysia. If the Republicans have their way they will gut EPA regulations, clean air regulations, labor regulations including workplace safety regulations like OSHA. Why? Because big corporations want to compete with third world countries by becoming like them.
Forget clean air, ground polutions, job safety, and decent wages. If big oil doesn’t have to worry about clean air emissions then they can continue to use old technology refineries, pollute our air and pocket more money. If the construction and manufacturing companies can produce goods without OSHA regulations, they can make more profits. If the Republicans can bust the unions, the wages will be lower and and corporations can make more profits. Fewer government regulations have nothing to do with your tags or taxes, it has to do with making the rich richer and that’s Senator Cornyn’s agenda.
Not raising taxes on the job creators: An honest phrasing of this answer should be protecting the current low tax rates for the super rich. They’re lower now than under Reagan. If you think that not raising taxes on the super rich will create jobs then you’re a dummy. We haven’t raised taxes on the rich since the Bush tax cuts a decade ago and we still have unemployment at nine percent. Think about it…not raising taxes on the rich hasn’t done us any good so let’s give raising taxes on the rich a try and lower our federal deficit.
Reducing our National Debt: The good Senator is slipping it to you again. He doesn’t want to reduce the National Debt. If Senator Cornyn wanted to reduce the National Debt, he would support raising taxes on the super rich. No, what he wants to do is strip of us a Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. He advocates for a balance budget amendment, but if you read between the lines he idea of a balanced budget amendment has exceptions for all the good stuff that’s important to him like big defense budgets. When you or I get into a budget crunch we reduce spending and get a part time job to increase our revenue. We may even borrow a little more to get us through the crunch. Senator Cornyn’s approach, cut programs for the poor and disabled.
Senator Cornyn’s survey is designed to get you to agree with him without thinking. Senator Cornyn is a great Senator for the big business and the rich. If you’re a working Texan, he’s screwing you every chance he gets. Question his answers…if you can get answers.
