Chamber’s ‘Jobs’ Agenda Ignores the 99%

 

by Mike Hall, Jan 12, 2012

In a pre-emptive strike for the truth yesterday, economic activists and patriotic millionaires, “prebutted” today’s speech by U.S. Chamber Commerce President Tom Donohue outlining the 1 Percent’s so-called jobs agenda. Hundreds rallyied outside the Chamber’s headquaters in Washington, D.C., yeterday before marching down H Street.

Donohue and the chamber’s mega-corporation members build the jobs agenda on lower taxes for giant corporations and millionaires and further deregulation of important safeguards for workers and consumers.

U.S.  Chamber Watch’s Christy Setzer says: “The greatest myth about the U.S. Chamber is that they have an interest in creating or protecting jobs.

One glance at their so-called jobs agenda confirms as much: rolling back needed regulations and putting more money in the pockets of millionaires and corporate CEOs won’t create jobs, but it will help out the wealthy few who fund the Chamber’s lobbying budget.

Leo Hindery of Patriotic Millionaires told reporters “Nothing that’s being suggested in the Chamber’s proposals … will create jobs.”

Are we shocked?

They hate working Americans,hate labor unions,hate the EPA,hate any safety regulations in the works place,hate minimum wage law,hate employers having to provide medical coverage for employees,and hate employers having to pay overtime.This damn grops are looking out for the CEO’s, millionaires and billionaires.Good example of how they back a back stabbing low life sob,Mitt Romney and the cut throat corporation where the bastard was CEO. GOD only knows how many working men and women this scum of the earth has laid off causing many of them to bankrupte,stolen their retirements,and this causing hardships for the children of these workers. Yet his damn kids have any and everything they want using workers stolen money. Did the sob care or give one damn about these working people and their children,HELL NO.!

    The Shame-bers are all across the country also anti-urban farmers and urban small businesses because they do not look big enough and economically impressive enough to be members of the Shame-ber of Communism.

    And my local Shame-ber of Communism shuns me even though I created two local corporations and I supported their anti-Progressive former Democratic Party governor Chet Culver!
