My so-called representative voted for the Billionaire Bailout. It’s easy to understand why; he’s collected $732,629 from the Securities & Investment industry alone. My firm has paid far more than that in taxes, but taxes don’t buy congressional votes the way campaign contributions do. The 7 Massachusetts "representatives" who voted for the Billionaire Bailout have collectively gathered more than $11,785,000 from investment, banking, real estate, law, lobbying, and building industries. No wonder they support the Billionaire Bailout despite overwhelming public opposition.
Politicians and "business leaders" are forever talking about how they want to help small businesses, but they never propose removing the onerous taxes and burdensome regulations that give large businesses such huge advantages over small business. Instead, proposals like the Billionaire Bailout invariably involve taking more of our money.
Please, don’t help us any more. We can’t afford it.
Congress is threatening us with disaster unless they come to our "rescue." "No thanks" says Steve Fairfax.
