Hey Joe, why are CT Federal Tax payers only getting seventy-five cents back on the dollar?
Are you rubberstamping our tax money off to North Dakota?
Are you rubberstamping our tax money off to South Carolina?
Are you rubberstamping our tax money off to the Investment Bankers, Social Security Stock Pirates and Wall Street Swindlers?
Are you rubberstamp deregulating our tax money to a new Ken Lay style Scam-o-Rama?
Where is the Social Security Surplus you and George W. HoodWink gladly flush into the trough?
How much is going to Sikorski?
How much is going to Amtrak?
How much is going to Electric Boat?
Where's Our Tax Money going Joe?!
Note: This is not a rant. This refrain is a Blue State battle cry.
It doesn't matter if the return is ninety-nine cents on the dollar or twenty-five cents on the dollar. The point of the refrain is to mine the hate-framing rhetoric used by the Hardly-Ever-Right TM.
The key is to keep it simple, and direct:
"Where's My Money Joe??!!"
For us here in Connecticut, dealing with Joe, Rob Simmons, Johnson and Shay, it's very simple. What we pay out in Federal taxes as a state is more than we get in return. Our tax dollars go to support Red State Pork. And that is how to play it... Red State Pork bought with Blue State Dollars.
No intellectual arguments.
No debate.
Keep it very simple...
"Where's My Money?"
