Mitch McConnell & the Republican leaders are going against the American people

Proof positive:

McConnell rejects higher taxes on oil firms

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday rejected a proposal to scale back tax breaks for big oil firms, calling it a political maneuver.

No, Senator McConnell, I can assure you, this is not purely a "political maneuver."   

 It's financial one both for the American public, buying gasoline at home, as well as a more national one since we have so much debt AND the big oil companies are making more money and profits than any other companies in the country on our backs.


And then, get this added juicy bit of hypocrisy:   

Republicans for their part are hammering Obama over high gasoline prices, which threaten to slow the economy just as it is beginning to pick up steam.

They're taking money from Big Oil for their campaigns and they're in the pockets of Big Oil but they blame the high price of oil on the president.

Now, that's some chutzpah. 


But then that's what we've come to expect from the Republican leadership out of Washington.
