U.S. Congressman Joe Barton (R-Texas) was the lead
Republican at the congressional hearings about the bp oil spill.
As his opening remarks with bp's Tony Hayward, he actually apologized to him for President Obama's "harsh treatment." Barton actually said Obama's insisting on bp setting up a $20 Billion victim compensation fund was a "shakedown."
The appropriate shock and awe followed. Even John Boehner was embarrassed and Barton eventually apologized for his own assisnine insensitive stupidity.

Some of Rep. Barton's Republican colleages were surprised to hear he was a bp sympathizer, but many of his corporate owned colleages agreed with him. However if you look at his $1.4 million in campaign contributions from big oil you can begin to understand.

Get the bp sympathizermug. The amount of money American taxpayers have pay to cover the taxes Walmart avoids. This term also applies to the increased drain on taxpayer funded programs by underpaid and uninsured Walmart employees.
Walmart sets up stores in buildings they "rent" from their own shell companies. They pay "rent" to themselves, then deduct it from their taxes. This money grubbing scum scheme helped Walmart avoid $3.39 Billion in state taxes from 1999-2005.
Also taxpayers will pay $9.1 Billion over the next 5 years to cover Walmart employee health care costs. They have almost 800,000 workers without health care coverage. Many of Walmart's employees are forced to use Medicaid or just show up at an emergancy room. This kind of bullshit taxes us all by increasing the cost of healthcare for all of us!

The Walmart tax hurts the whole economy and helps keep them rich while shifting the costs to the people. Their Pro-China attitude towards merchandise hurts American jobs and their heinous tax avoidance schemes also hurt America's bottom line! Here's the real cost of the WalMart Tax-- If WalMart paid all of the taxes they owed in 2005: 318,440 uninsured children would have health coverage; 21,963 elementary school students would have new classrooms; and 9,499 additional police officers could be patrolling our streets! "SAVE MONEY--LIVE BETTER," obviously this doesn't really apply to the shoppers only to the Walmart corporation!

Get the WalMart Taxmug. American Institute of Greed (formerly know as American International Group)
One of those heinously corrupt organizations that takes money grubbing scum to new levels!
These bastards took more than $160Billion in government bailout money and then gave top executives more than $160Million in bonuses! What kind of shithead would give multimillion dollar bonuses to the fuckwits that drove the company into the ground?!

The executives running the American Institute of Greed A.I.G. should all be sitting with Bernie Madoff in jail for a 150 years!

Get the A.I.G.mug. Beginning on January 20, 2009, the Obama Administration set out to help America recover from the devastation brought on by the Bush Adminstration. After 8 years of arrogance, corruption, deregulation, senseless wars, pro-rich tax laws, and destruction of economies world wide; we all needed a major change to restore hope!
Obama took swift action to prevent further damage and keep us from falling off a cliff. While it will take many years to fully recover from the Bush Depression, at least Obama has saved us from a total economic collapse and has us on the loooong road to recovery.

Get the obamalarkeymug. A non-profit, member owned financial institution. Unlike banks, Credit Unions are not out to rip off their customers with a fee for every little thing they do.
Credit Unions usually have better rates on loans, savings accounts and CDs.
Greedy banks are out to squeeze every dime out they can from their customers and make obscene profits. They think Credit Unions have an unfair advantage because of their non-profit tax-exempt status. If banks were not so greedy and corrupt and treated their cutomers right, they would not need to fear competition!

After putting up with years of abuse from my bank, I switched to the local Community Credit Union. Now I have free checking, free atm card and a lot less hassle!

Get the Credit Unionmug. (updated definition) After the2010 Election, Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representitives.
They then voted to elect John Boehner of Ohio as Speaker of the House for the 112th Congress.
It seems that the G.O.P. plans to undo all the progress made during the 111th Congress!

John Boehner may well be the worst choice for Speaker of the House since Newt Gingrich! His first priority is to repeal the Healthcare Reform passed in 2009!
