Ciro Rodriguez and his cohorts in the Democrat Congress 'adjourned' failing to extend the so-called 'Bush-Era' tax cuts. Mr. Rodriguez would say that not extending those cuts will result in an increase of revenue to Washington. It will allow for more spending on the programs Democrats like Mr. Rodriguez are so proud of, like Obamacare. What is the
real result of this punting on this particular issue?
Take a look at this map. Look up how much
NOT extending the current tax rates will cost your
own Congressional district - in jobs as well as revenue
to your own neighborhood! Remember,
Democrats believe this money belongs in Washington, not at home in the pockets of their constituents.
In my own district which Mr. Rodriguez happens to (supposedly) represent on January 1st, 2011 the cost of abrogating his responsibility to the constituents of Texas Congressional District #23 will result in the loss of:
534 jobs in 2011
1,278 jobs in 2012
and will result in $864,003,530.31 being taken from the pockets of already hurting taxpayers and sent to Washington for further fraud, waste and abuse. Almost a billion dollars Mr. Rodriguez feels would be better spent by the politicians in Washington than by the residents of Texas District #23.
Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez. You and your Democrat buddies have shown your true colors once again. Not only do you
personally condescend to your own constituents, you are now effectively robbing them.
I will gladly be voting against you on November 2.
