"Absurd" Republicans have Absurd Ideas

.
Congressman Steve King (R) believes you should be free to hide your income from the tax man.
Secret Income Is Part of Freedom

Meanwhile, tax avoidance is on the rise!
It's twice the amount of Social Security and Medicare.

Maybe if all the hidden income was taxed we wouldn't have the so-called 'unfunded liability' problem.


The Supreme Court Conservative Justices are at it again.
Even Small Businesses can't shake mega-corporations chokehold on access to the courts.

And, it isn't just the Justices who believe corporations are people. During the last presidential race the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, said "corporations are people too, my friends" and now Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky and Senate minority leader) believes corporations deserve 'free speech'.

"Absurd" to ban corporations from having same rights as people

Of course, the free speech he's referring to is when corporations seek to be active in the political world by giving money to Republicans. He also believes it's crucial for them to be able to act in secret, so Democrats can't "go after" their donors. I don't know what he's almost alleging, but it's weasel words like that we have come to expect from Sen. McConnell. If he wants to say Democrats are attacking donors to Republicans he should say so. Well, he can point to the IRS scandal, but that was begun by Republicans in IRS's Cincinnati office and not the White House.

Apparently the Republicans are simply scared that without corporate dollars they won't have sufficient support from real American citizens. Boo hoo! Become a real political party which represents a majority of the public.

I might begin to believe corporations are somewhat like people if Texas ever executes an innocent one, like the innocent people they've executed. Somehow corporations seem to be superior.
