Az I See It....
More from the October 22nd Town Hall with U.S.-HOR Trent Franks: He stated that he was proud that he had signed on to the Grover Norquist pledge - the Tea Party mandate - which promises(with a blood vow) that Republicans will NOT accept ANY tax increases on the wealthy!....Franks calls for less government, but stated that his own staff was larger than the more than 100 attendees at this event! We really do not necessarily want less government - only less-expensive and more competent government. Just sayin'!....Although Glendale citizens attested that they were in favor of a Tohono O'odham casino/resort on tribe-owned land which is encompassed by the City of Glendale, Franks claims that it will not offer jobs - only shift them from one casino to another. And any income produced would simply be from the locals, and not from outside sources. Oh, and I thought tourism was alive and well, in Arizona. You know - Super Bowl, other NFL games, NHL, conventions, weather considerations, golf, etc. - no one ever has a reason to come to Arizona! And the locals are flush with cash to spend frivolously - because of all the jobs! He knows what's best for them, assuring the spokesperson that their view was misguided - he said so!....Franks specifically cited the break-up of Ma Bell, in the early 1980s, as an example of corporations creating jobs when the government is not regulating themminute today - and that cellphone technologies are a direct result. And, NO, he did NOT mention or thank Steve Jobs - actually, he made NO mention of any jobs - except his!....Franks made it clear that it is a dog-eat-dog world, and that Republicans are the top dogs - morally and otherwise!...."A society is measured by the way in which it treats the less fortunate among them"(variously stated by Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II, President Harry S. Truman, and Dostoyevsky)....After listening to Mr. Franks, it is clear that the most dangerous, terroristic threats to American citizens are the 'Gang of 289' - the Republican members of the U.S. Congress!....Oh - and how do you know when a U.S.-HORS Representative from Arizona is lying to you? His lips are moving!
It amazes me that sooo many people subscribe to the Republican / Tea Party positions knowing that they are in favor of big business, banks, and low taxes on the wealthy. These are the same people that will be hurt by the Republican positions.
Do they think they will become wealthy by spewing elitist philosophy while they see their Social Security and Medicare disappear?
"Calling" yourself a Republican does not bring wealth. It merely shows that you are willing to blindly follow without thinking.
