Guv, I gotta say, this is no way to say thank you the regions which essentially contributed the most votes toward your election. Ya' know, without whom, etc., you wouldn't have been elected in the first place. But, when viewed in the larger context of the Democratic effort, at the federal level, to court Repubican support for its' programs, this makes a perfect kind of sense. A kind of sense, but not actual, factual sense. I suppose I could insert some blather about how the Dems should do this, or that, or some other thing, but it has become quite apparent, at least to this citizen, that neither party is at all interested in actually representing the hoi-polloi anymore. The Dems still pretend they do, but the Repigs whore themselves, utterly, to the corporate capitalists. This behavior is so transparent, and so without guile, I really have to laugh at the absurdity of the whole mess.samizdatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-16832810723631743182010-03-11T21:59:24.016-06:002010-03-11T21:59:24.016-06:00I hope everyone who reads this blog takes the time...I hope everyone who reads this blog takes the time to write the governor and let him know this is a very, very short-sighted and bad idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-87217031253254341762010-03-11T19:30:41.222-06:002010-03-11T19:30:41.222-06:00Michael, could you give a rough estimate of the nu...Michael, could you give a rough estimate of the number of city resident who now have an affordable, decent home thanks to this tax credit?<br /><br />The number of people who would be affected by repealing the tax credit I assume to be quite staggering. Furthermore, this affect precisely that class (small homeowners) which is most sorely needed for neighborhood stabilization.Ben Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662894573682795215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-10717459409986692010-03-11T18:32:43.461-06:002010-03-11T18:32:43.461-06:00Nixon is pandering to the rural area of Missouri--...Nixon is pandering to the rural area of Missouri--his roots.
