He is very liberal by the way. He could have done a bit on the crap Obama has said and done as the actual President and the shit he claimed during his 2008 campaign.
But he chose not to.  |

No it's very possible. Instead of over employment in the public sector costing tax payers. It will now be over employment in the oil industry forcing up the price of oil. Because it's not taxes, the 1% will be creaming more from it and it's paid for at the pump. Robbie, Minte and Baddog willl support this measure.
These guys are relics from the 1970s. With little understanding of the real world. Even when I post the facts. Will repost it as they must of missed it.
