Mitt Romney De-fund PBS: Kill Big Bird
Mitt Romney Quote Cut Funding To Public Television To Protect Tax Cut For Already Rich People
"I'm sorry, Jim. I'm going to the stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things," Rmoney said. "I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actually like you, too."
Mitt Romney vows to
fire Big Bird to save 0.00014% of the budget while planning 5 trillion dollars in tax cuts for millionaires.
When Bill Clinton
left office we were on track to pay down the debt by 2.3 trillion dollars while
paying for PBS, the thousands of teachers that have been fired since 100%
republican control. While paying for social safety nets that have been in place
for decades... Republican handed out 3 trillion dollars in tax rebates almost
all of going to the top couple of percent of people that were already doing
just fine and dandy.
It was to create
jobs, you know trickle down economics. Well where are the jobs? Two thirds of
America's most successful corporation now pay now taxes. GE made 14.3 billion
dollars in profit in 2011 and paid zero dollars in federal taxes. So yeah,
let's gut the things that benefit the majority of Americans so they can keep
more.
Get rid of the
republican tax cuts, close the loopholes, give tax breaks to people who create
American jobs, tax corporations the outsource a little extra. Take that money
and hire teachers back. Repair roads, bridges, hire more cops and firemen.
Build more schools. Retrain coalminers who are loosing their jobs. Put veterans
to work (the republicans just blocked veterans jobs bill that would be fully
funded and get thousand of vets to work, part of make Americans suffer to make
Obama fail like all the other things they have blocked).
