its happening here

The Republicans have found a new scapegoat for the economy, in addition to illegal immigrants.

The new scapegoat is public sector workers.

Unwilling to blame Bush for the budget deficit, unable to blame Wall Street for wrecking the economy, and incapable of blaming a lack of regulation or capitalism itself for the morass we're in, Republicans are pointing their fingers now at public sector workers.

The teachers, police officers, fire fighters, and other government employees are just making too much money, the Republicans say, regardless of the fact that public sector workers in state after state have been laid off or put on unpaid furloughs.

But Republicans don't want you to think about. Much less do they want you to notice that it's the top 1 percent that's made off like bandits over the last 30 years. God forbid we raise the marginal income tax rates, or the capital gains tax, or the estate tax.http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/07/06-3

think about it-the Maine heritage ceo just used a photo oop which was on the evening news. what was his agenda? who was earning over 80,00 a year.
What I'd like to know is who funds this tax exempt free loading political enity? and if we made organizations like this pay their fair share wouldn't it lower our tax burden? you bet your sweet behind it would! and do you know they have people that follow them disrupt liberal forums;of course they use many false I'DS!
MAN MAINE HAS HIT THE BIG TIME!
