Scuba Forum / General / October 2008Pres Obama begins his payoffs
Democrats have been pounding John McCain for his ties to big oil, even setting up a mock website called ExxonMcCain 08. But it turns out that Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has actually received more money from Exxon employees than McCain, according to analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics. And today, Pres Obama began his payoff. Exxon hires almost 8,000 new employees each year, and Obama has promised Exxon a tax break for each of those new hires. Millions for Exxon, main street gets f.cked again. > Democrats have been pounding John McCain for his ties to big oil, even > setting up a mock website called ExxonMcCain 08.

That means Main Street at least gets sloppy seconds, instead of having to pay to watch it on video.

I did hear that Obama wants to offer tax breaks for companies that hire new employees. At the time that I heard, I wondered if he meant new employees in new positions? After all, when Exxon hires almost 8,000 new employees each year, are they 1) hiring new persons to fill positions that had been left? 2) creating new positions? 3) are the 8,000 new employees all in the United States or worldwide? If #3, I'm sure that Obama didn't mean to give Exxon a tax break for those, ;^) I also wondered what he meant by a "tax break"? Has he really thought out the plan? For example, a small company like Greg's . . . what is his company's tax break if he hires 3 persons for 3 NEW positions in the next year? > >> Millions for Exxon, main street gets f.cked again. > >But at least it's a Democrat doing the f.cking.

Does anyone really listen to all the plans that the candidates propose? I don't bother. No one ever gets any of these big ideas done, certainly not in the same way they propose in pre-election speeches and debates. I'm voting for Obama because he probably has better taste in music, just like Bill Clinton. Republicans only get the support of country-western bands and Ted Nugent, so I'd never vote for any of those losers. > For example, a small company like Greg's . . . what is his company's tax > break if he hires 3 persons for 3 NEW positions in the next year? I'd rather get a tax break for firing them. http://www.democrats.org/page/content/exxon-mccain/ > Democrats have been pounding John McCain for his ties to big oil, even > setting up a mock website called ExxonMcCain 08.
