The American Jobs Creation Act, HR 4520 started out with some
amendments to ban outsourcing, curb outsourcing as well as
enact new corporate tax codes to deal with the WTO ruling...

When I sent out an action alert to protest this bill, most people,
who supposedly are activists in keeping American jobs/middle class,
blasted me.

They did not realize that the bill had been completely changed
in the House ways and means to INCREASE tax incentives to ship jobs
offshore, plus was this major pork bill for special favors...

it was supposed to accomodate $4B tax adjustment, ended up costing

$140B (yes this is a 36x increase in lost tax revenues with the deficit
out of control) in tax breaks for special interrests.

This is the same with HR 10 and the rest.

It should be they take the 9/11 commission results and implement it...
but instead they constantly play these evil games that do not represent the people...

like right now attaching anti-choice amendments into the omnibus bill
at the last minute.

PS. HR 4520 is one of my favorite examples of the use of propaganda
to hide what they are really doing..
this should be called Fuck the American people Act, the opposite.
