Mitch McConnell is against closing tax loopholes for tax evaders
Excerpt:

It's hardly surprising that Senator McConnell would be against large U.S. corporations who take their profits overseas having to pay a fair share of taxes like the rest of Americans. He voted against repealing tax subsidies for companies which move US jobs offshore in 2005.

The bottom line is that McConnell doesn't mind that an average American tax payer earning $50,000 a year pays more in taxes on income than large corporations who make billions of dollars.

1. GOP is for tax cheats!
GOP IS FOR TAX CHEATS!!!

Spread the word: "GOP is for tax cheats!

GOP = "tax cheats!" -- GOP = "TAX CHEATS!!" -- GOP = "tax cheats!!!" -- GOP = "TAX CHEATS!!!!"

Did I say that the GOP is for tax cheats?

3. Is it evasion or avoidance. The real culprit is the current tax code that encourages such behavior

5. Mitch is very representative of the GOPer mindset. Braindead might
just sum it up. He is my senator and I constantly write him my complaints, but I never open his sleazy responses. I know what absurdities they will espouse. Of course Bunning never even bothers to respond. Thank goodness, he at least saves paper.

6. And in another sensational revelation
It was revealed today that fish swim.

I guess it is always good to highlight their nature though (the GOP, that is).
