The Senate Bill which was to ban tax loopholes which benefitted
companies who send jobs overseas just failed.
According to Faux, the Republicans were able
to block the passage of this Bill with the
HELP of FOUR DEMOCRATS. This is just the
sort of thing that hurts our Party.

For years we have been promised that the
Senate would ban this practice. John Kerry
had this as part of his platform.

What is so disspiriting is the fact that
Democrats throw the Working Class under
the bus. If made to choose between protecting
the working class or the Corporation, they
protect the corporation every time. Hurt their
Party by making it appear weak in the process.

Have not been able to find out who the four
traitoru are. Anyone know???
