Republican tax cuts to billionaires could’ve paid for our entire infrastructure needs.
I’m watching a report that says to repair America’s crumbling infrastructure would cost $4.5 trillion.
The GOP/Bush tax cuts for billionaires plus the republican tax cuts for billionaires under Trump would’ve paid for our entire country’s infrastructure needs with money left over.
That would’ve included roads sewers electrical grid everything needed to run this country and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs for decades.
All gone just so billionaires could be even more rich.
And if those billionaires didn’t have tax cuts they would still be billionaires.
So what do you think these billionaires did with their tax cuts?
A) Bury the money in the back yard? What good would that do?
B) Hide it under their mattresses? Again what is the gain?
C) Put it the bank? Well if they did the banks would have more money to lend at a lower interest making your buying your car cheaper. Nawww... they wouldn't do that.
D) Buy some more yachts? Maybe. Which having done work for a yacht manufacturer I know a lot of guys who would be working to build those yachts!
E) Just maybe invest into another oh Apple, or Amazon... or even maybe just maybe donate it to charity... get a tax write off? Now what charity? Ah.. Deanrd... sounds like his jealous!
So simply answer me... would you rather have all of the above choices OR... would you have the tax money go to what? "Shovel ready jobs"! Remember???
Oh right Obama laughed about that! Obama:
"No Such Thing as Shovel-Ready Projects"

But he promoted $787 billion American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, President Obama’s recently-proposed American Jobs Act includes $50 billion for new infrastructure projects to be funded through the creation of a government-run infrastructure bank. The President is touting this $50 billion expenditure as a way to immediately put thousands of Americans back to work; however, infrastructure experts are skeptical that the money will produce the short-term unemployment fix that the president is promising.
The Shovel-Ready Jobs Swindle
Or maybe deanrd... you'd be happy if the government spent the evil billionaires tax money on...
1. The National Institute of Health’s Center for Alternative and Complimentary Medicine spent $387,000 to study the effects of Swedish massages on rabbits.
2. The Department of Interior spent $10,000 to monitor the growth rate of saltmarsh grass. In other words, the government is paying people to watch grass grow. On the bright side, they have not started paying people to watch paint dry.
3. The National Science Foundation has granted more than $200,000 to a research project that is trying to determine how and why Wikipedia is sexist. Wikipedia’s War on Woman?
And these are just 3 of dozens of examples of government using these billionaires tax money!
