Democrats' Dog and Pony Show Fails to Amuse!
By John W. Lillpop
As backasswards as it seems, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is orchestrating an effort to punish American businesses for making profits, while rewarding invading criminals for ignoring the U.S.-Mexico border and our immigration laws.
It’s more of the anti-business, pro-illegal alien lunacy championed by Barack Obama and his clueless gaggle of warped leftists, obviously unrepentant even after the great shellacking of November, 2010.
Ever mindful of the fact that there are a hell of a lot more illegal aliens (and potential votes) than there are oil executives, Democrats hauled big-oil executives to the Capitol to answer for the skyrocketing price of gasoline, now approaching $5 a gallon.
Had the senators been at all serious in their inquiry, they would have called call Barack Obama on the carpet for his refusal to facilitate increased supply through drilling.
But, of course, Democrats are not really concerned about prices at the pump, especially after Obama personally covered their back by warning the public to "get used to it," it being Obama’s sinister goal of driving millions of Americans from their cars rather than actually working to achieve energy independence.
Thus, the meeting with five oil executives in the Senate to discuss the "Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act," the bill that would eliminate tax subsidies for just the five largest oil companies and direct those savings to pay down the deficit.
Total deficit reduction: $21 billion over 10 years.
While some Democrats were proposing to plunder and pillage the very institutions that create jobs and prosperity and already pay exorbitant taxes, other moon bat Democrats in the Senate were trying to revive the Dream Act, a give-away of American treasure to those here illegally, to whom the American people owe absolutely nothing, and whom should be deported back to their third-world nations of origin.
Billions for illegal aliens for goodness sake!
How in the hell does it make any sense, morally or financially, to reward non-citizen invaders while assaulting American businesses that provide this nation’s energy and jobs for the economy?
As to that $21 billion in deficit reduction over ten years, how about going after that $110 billion a year spent by taxpayers to support and sustain millions of illegal aliens?
In addition, illegal aliens do not pay taxes (in many cases) and do not hire employees.
Come on, Harry Reid! Get off the backs of American citizens and focus instead on deporting illegal aliens who are such a huge drain on public coffers.
