Just saw this tidbit and I mean god Americans are freaking blind… Did any of the Republican candidates campaign on cutting corporate regulations or taxes? LOL I love the buzzwords like pro growth, tax reform or concrete progress in this article…
Business groups are licking their chops to work with an all-Republican Congress, believing they now have the chance to roll back years of frustrations.
“We believe all can unite around a pro-growth agenda that reforms the tax code and immigration system, and expands trade,” said John Engler, the president of the Business Roundtable. “Congress needs to roll up its sleeves and resolve these tough issues to make our businesses and country more competitive.”
Similarly, Republicans have long been critics of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, a central legislative achievement that McConnell on Wednesday dubbed “ObamaCare for banks.” But those in the financial industry eager to get out from under some of those new rules are not anticipating a GOP Senate would immediately try and scrap the entire law, though there are some hopes that previously bipartisan efforts to alter the law could get new life next year.

My favourite is the last quote, yeah I bet the financial industry can’t stand the new financial laws put in place after the last recession which was created by them alone due to greed of the bankers. I would have preferred Congress reinstate the Glass-Steagall act but of course the government bought by business wouldn’t allow that.
Wake up America, when Republican talk about jobs, the middle class and all the other fluffy stuff, it’s always lies. I guess it doesn’t help that the Democratic party is guided by retards and lost the mid term election badly by running against Democratic principles and instead as Republican-lite.
I seriously hope President Obama sticks to his guns and vetos any bullshit legislation that comes across his desk. Yes if there’s middle ground maybe the two groups can work towards something but when one party is so overtly pro business (and anti individual), I can’t see them passing anything that would benefit the average US citizen.
