Republicans today stopped a vote that would end the tax breaks for corporations who outsource jobs to other countries. With the economy and jobs being the number one concern for Americans, the Republican obstructionists in Congress continue to support Wall Street and say no to Main Street.
For several years, we the Tax payer have been giving tax breaks to corporations for shipping American jobs to other countries. The Democrats had proposed a Bill that would end that tax break and give a tax credit to those who create jobs here in the USA, but the Republicans said, “no”.
Yesterday, the Republicans in Washington prevented Congress from getting subpoena power to investigate BP’s oil spill. They obviously do not care that 11 people were killed on the oil rig or care about the oil spill itself. Rep. Joe Barton even apologized to BP earlier this year, and several Republicans have gone after President Obama for making BP pay for the spill and clean up with a $20 billion fund for those affected by the spill.
Today the Republicans stand with outsourcing jobs to other countries. The Republican Party has voted against every jobs Bill since President Obama took office, and Tea Party Folk blame the democrats for the lack of jobs.
Last week the Republicans took a stand on the Bush tax cuts saying that unless the tax cuts for the rich are extended, the tax cuts for the middle class and the poor will end.
Republicans last year said that they planned on slowing the economic recovery for our country in order to campaign against a bad economy, well they have succeeded.
The Republican “Party of No”, no jobs, no recovery, no health care, just say no.

No jobs, no recovery, record spending deficits. I am grateful someone has the ability to say no to the clowns running the show.
those someones you are grateful for are the ones who created the "no jobs, no recovery and record spending. This mess started with the Republicans in power and they are the ones who are trying to stop any form of recovery so they can blame it on others.
This is a good article that says it like it is. Very nice job!
