We just saw in the New York Times that Exxon Mobil Corporation — the biggest worldwide public oil company — has just announced that their second quarter revenues jumped 24% to $92.5 billion.
Oh, and just thought you’d might like to know: The Republicans recently voted against (and defeated) an amendment to take away Big Oil’s federal subsidies of $35 billion.
Sooooo, Republicans support the richest most profitable corporations in the world with unnecessary corporate welfare of $35 billion, but they rant and tear their hair out over $34 billion for unemployment insurance. And by the way, unemployment insurance is a program that is financed through federal and state employer payroll taxes, while corporate subsidies are GIVE AWAYS that add to the national debt and deficits.
Go ahead, middle class America — “Vote Republican in November to send a message to Democrats.” You’ll just keep getting screwed.
Anybody who votes for these idiots in November and in 2012 will be the same ones pissing and moaning when they lose their jobs, lose their health coverage and have a hard time paying their mortgage when they find their unemployment benefits cut off, due to those family values, good old Christian Republicans they voted into office! That’s just when I’d love to say *HA! HA! Told you so!*
