John Boehner - Another Corporate Shill
John Boehner: " I started out mopping floors, waiting tables and
tending bar at my dad's tavern. And, the Speaker John Boehner calls
President Obama a 'Loser' ..Crying John Boehner cries again
He doesn't want corporations to pay fair wages to average working
Americans.
John's favorite on the tavern nickelodeon: Sniff-sniff-sob-sob
The Great Debate between the House Speaker John A. Boehner (of the
Republican Party) and the popular presidential hopeful Bud Meyers (of
the People's Party).
You can all bicker all you want to, just like little school kids on
the playground, about such issues as gun control, the environment,
immigration, States rights, abortion, separation of Church and State,
global warming, privacy issues, healthcare, and any other ethical or
moral concerns you might have. While they're all important, and they
should be debated, the biggest threat to our nation and national
security is our annual federal and State budgets and our national
debt. That is what plagues this country most.
We have "outlays" and "revenues" - spending and taxes. But it's not
JUST too much government spending, it's ALSO too less being collected
in tax revenues. You can't talk about spending (budgets) without
mentioning taxes (revenues) in the same argument. But the Republicans
just got tax breaks for the richest 3% and corporations, and are now
complaining about the deficits. A very one-sided look at the problem.
We have a growing disparity between the middle-class and the uber-
wealthy, but the wealthiest among us and the huge corporations would
prefer that we all argue over those other issues...and just forget
about the billions of dollars they've been hoarding away "on the
sidelines" in off-shore bank accounts. They want us (on the Left and
the Right) to be divided so as to distract us from what has REALLY
been hurting ALL OF US in our daily lives.
Everything else has been the distraction they've wanted. We need REAL
financial reform in our banking system and REAL tax reform to keep
jobs in America and to have the revenue needed to fund this
government. We've been hearing all these people in Congress TALK about
meaningful tax reform for decades, but NOTHING has ever been seriously
proposed and passed. Why is that? Hmmmmmmmm?
John A. Boehner: " Washington needs to do more to end the uncertainty
plaguing job creators."
Bud Meyers: " What? You mean the while the major corporations were
outsourcing jobs and not paying taxes during the Bush years they
didn't have "certainty"? When the housing bubble burst and the
financial markets were crumbling, the banks and your corporations
didn't have "certainty"? When will your corporations have "certainty"
Mister Boehner, when the average worker's pay is one dollar an hour,
and the corporations and CEOs have a ZERO tax rate? Will you then be
satisfied?"
John A. Boehner: "No, because we also need to get control of
government spending!"
Bud Meyers: " You mean cutting food stamps and other programs for the
poor and unemployed, but not cutting the obscenely high congressional
salaries, the $700 billion annual military budget, or the corporate
welfare that taxpayers pay in subsidies? Or what about the earmarks
for special interests that senators add to other spending bills in
backroom deals late at night when no one is watching?"
John A. Boehner: "We also need to end the threat of tax hikes!"
Bud Meyers: " Like eliminating capital gains taxes for the rich, and
lowering a corporate tax rate that's not being paid anyway because of
corporate loop holes? Exxon paid $15 billion in taxes to foreign
countries last year but the U.S. Treasury got ZERO. GE made $15
million in profits, but the IRS got ZERO. Boeing paid ZERO in taxes
too, but the taxpayers just rewarded them with another multi-billion
dollar contract. So what's this make-believe threat of taxes you keep
whining about when all your corporate and wealthy buddies aren't
paying any damn taxes now!"
John A. Boehner: "But we also need to remove regulatory obstacles to
job growth!!!"
Bud Meyers: "Calm down John...what exactly are these mysterious
regulatory obstacles that you refer to? You can't mean the banks,
because they pretty much do as they please. And your big corporations
aren't paying any taxes either. Do you mean such "regulatory
obstacles" as a union's collective bargaining rights for fair and
living wages*, safe working environments, and comprehensive
healthcare? Does the GOP want to wipe out 100 years of labor law,
OSHA, and the National Labor Relations Board just so that corporations
can once again hire 10-year-old girls to work in sweat shops paying 13
cent an hour? Then would your corporate friends finally be satisfied?"
John A. Boehner: "Not until we also approve stalled trade agreements
that would open new markets for American exports."
Bud Meyers: "You mean just like NAFTA, allowing more outsourcing of
jobs to foreign countries, causing higher unemployment that further
erodes our tax base? American companies are exporting goods from China
to America! The Chinese government is getting all the corporate tax
revenue from American companies. Chinese workers are paying income
taxes to their government too, all while America continues to lose
more jobs."
John Boehner: " I started out mopping floors, waiting tables and
tending bar at my dad’s tavern. I poured my heart and soul into a
small business and when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become,
I put my name forward and ran for office."
Bud Meyers: "Sir, you are very typical for the Washington elite, those
who forget where they came from, having abandoned their roots. What
have you done for all the other janitors, waiters, bartenders, and
restaurant owners in all of your 25 years of political office while in
Washington, besides just helping to uncover the "dine-and-dash"
scandal at the House Restaurant? What have you done for the two of
your 11 siblings who are currently unemployed themselves? That's an
18% unemployment rate just in your own family! Mister Boehner, where
are the jobs?"
John Boehner: Sniff-sniff-sob-sob - I'm so sorry for them but, I
realized my American Dream!
Bud Meyers: Go screw yourself John. you're nothing but a damn
corporate dirt bag!
* John A. Boehner and the GOP doesn't want corporations to pay fair
wages to average working Americans.
From the NEW YORK TIMES: A single worker needs an average income of
$30,012 a year - or just above $14 an hour - to cover expenses and
save for retirement and emergencies. That’s nearly three times the
2010 national poverty level of $10,830 for a single person, but it's
nearly twice the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Median wage
earners now have a much heavier burden than those of previous
generations, when you measure the work required to give a family an
average home and children access to an average school.
FROM THE HUFF PO: As CEO Pay Soars, Many New Jobs Fail To Provide A
Living Wage
Now you can find John Boehner at Dick-Pedia! - Boehner approved $9.8
trillion dollars in President Bush's budgets. Boehner received
campaign donations from pharmaceutical companies, cigarette
manufacturers, health insurance companies, oil companies, military
contractors, and Native Americans.
