COMMENTARY | Republicans and tea partiers in the Senate once again came together to block another part of President Barack Obama's jobs bill Thursday (addressing infrastructure projects) worth some $60 billion, balking at the part where millionaires would pay just 0.7 percent more in taxes, according to the Washington Post. Instead, the right-wingers in the House would rather waste the taxpayers' time and money bringing up a resolution earlier this week to reaffirm the "In God We Trust" motto that's found on the nation's currency.
How utterly hypocritical for these lawmakers to lead the charge on that kind of legislation when they themselves don't put trust in God either via their job-killing, obstructionist, and utterly cruel sins toward those who want to work.
For conservatives, the slogan they should champion on their own private time is "In Grover Norquist We Trust." The vast majority of them have signed off on his entity's no tax hike pledge, according to NPR. Despite House Speaker John Boehner's claim that Norquist is, "some random person," that quip is something that doesn't correspond with the reality of the conservatives' mean-spirited and hateful obsession of making sure the rich stay as rich as possible while opposing anything that the president proposes for the sake of this country.
If the right wingers in Congress really trusted God, they would start applying the Holy Bible instead of the sick dogma of Norquist. Where in the Bible does it say to not make wealthy people and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, for the rich to not pay a little more during a national infrastructure crisis? Yet the "Good Book" does say that men will work if they want to eat.
But how can the jobless and underemployed in this country work when the right wing continuously blocks legislation that will put construction workers, first responders, and teachers on the road to steady paychecks or keep them on that highway of self-sufficiency? No wonder some advocates for the jobless found the time to occupy Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's office Thursday, as reported by National Journal.
The Republicans' and tea partiers' devilish adherence to "The Gospel According to Grover" is taking this country ever so close to a massive collapse of our infrastructure, of which bridges can also fall on the wealthy, not just the poor.
