Comments on: Kirk Watson — Now the Rest of the Country Knows What an Idiot he Is http://urbangrounds.com/2008/02/kirk-watson/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:48:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jaycephus http://urbangrounds.com/2008/02/kirk-watson/#comment-133350 Jaycephus Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:23:10 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/2008/02/20/kirk-watson/#comment-133350 Someone recently did an analysis of all the promises of the frontrunners, and both BHO and HRC came in at over a quarter-trillion added to the yearly budget. JMs promises added up to one-fifth of the D-crat's give-aways. They will have no recourse but to tax the middle class for this. And if any liberal genious pipes in with "We're going to make corporations pay their share", I'll mail you your stupid sign first thing in the morning. Taxes on corporations is the other 'trickle-down'. They result in depressed wages and higher prices for the middle AND lower classes. Assuming the company can stay in business paying them, or doesn't flee the country to escape them. Meanwhile, the top economies in the world are also the freest economies in the world. The US just barely made the top 10. Someone recently did an analysis of all the promises of the frontrunners, and both BHO and HRC came in at over a quarter-trillion added to the yearly budget.

Sen. Kirk Watson is a snake. In October, Sen. Kirk Watson voted to ignore the public and divert nearly a Billion tax dollars to convert portions of Austin existing freeways (183, 290W, 290E, 71E, and 71W) into tollways. No city in the country has shifted it's freeways to tollways. This double tax, of tolling drivers to use public expressways to drive to work, school and shop, benefits Watson contributors, developers he was hired to lobby for and the City of Austin, who pays Watson $450 an hour to do land deals.

He promised so many things to people that anyone with half a brain must know he cannot accomplish it without sending the national debt into the stratosphere or taxing anyone who makes more than $100K 75% of their earnings. He went on and on and on with promises. People were practically licking their lips with anticipation. I listened to that 45 min speech he gave last nite in Texas and I was just amazed.
