Senator Blunt, delivering the weekly Republican address

Two notes on this delivery. First, our own Senator Roy Blunt once again puts down the idea of the "Buffett Tax" proposed by President Obama, in an effort to make taxation in America more fair. After all, isn't it logical that the wealthy of the country should pay the same percentage of taxes that the middle- and lower-class citizens do? Of course it is. And knocking the "Buffett Rule" has nothing to do with the price of gasoline at the pump yet the Senator keeps pushing for the Keystone XL pipleline, in the same breath. It's crazy. The Transcanada pipeline would take oil from Canada, run it to oil refineries in Texas and then get it out to the rest of the world--not the US--where "Big Oil" could make yet more money on the environmental and pocketbook backs of America. The Keystone Pipeline is ludicrous for the average American. It only benefits "Big Oil."
The second thing I'll mention about this video here--I could go on and on--is that Senator Blunt seems to be getting some high profile exposure from the Republican Party of late. As I wrote here earlier, it's likely because he's leading the fund-raising for their presumed presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. Good for Senator Blunt. Patently bad for the nation.
