There is one Democratic Senator Worse Than Tom Carper
Her name is MARY LANDREIU.
If you think “Democrat” Tom Carper is the lowest, most vomit inducing, sickening sack or corporatists shit in the US Senate you’d be wrong. He is the second lowest, most vomit inducing, sickening sack or corporatists shit in the US Senate.
Check out this thread at MYDD and read about how LANDREIU swiped the crown of Carper’s head by being the vote that upheld the Republican filibuster of the energy bill because it included new taxes a rollback of tax breaks (gasp!) on for oil companies.
Don’t worry. She’ll be gone in the fall.
Please tell me that you are not so naïve as to believe that “new taxes on oil companies” are actually paid by the oil companies.
You slap a new tax on the oil companies, and they’ll simply have to pass it on to the consumers in the prices they charge. That’s nothing specific to oil companies, but is general to every business: businesses must recoup their costs in the prices they charge, or they go out of business. Demand for oil being somewhat inelastic, consumers will simply pay even more for the products of the oil companies, and have a little bit less to buy goods and services from other companies.
And it was NOT new taxes — it was a rollback of tax subsidies. You know — that transfer of your funds to hugely profitable corporations hellbent on socializing their risks of energy production.
Who are you running against Carper Dave?
In 2012?
More importantly, who are YOU running against Carper?
Of interest should also be why New Castle County is paying a large taxpayer funded salary to Jeff Bullock to work during public house on Carper’s Campaign.
Didn’t NCC learn anything from the Tom and Sherry Show?
So, I am certainly not going to ignore the anony post above. What on earth else is Chris Coons spending tax money on?
