Rep. Daines has been subject to withering attacks ever since his election to the House. Leftists are nothing if not consistent. They will push and push until their agenda is adopted, even if it takes decades to implement. Anyone who stands in their way is systematically maligned and criticized, usually in terms of being extreme, uncompromising, or not caring enough for the chillun'. And it's the same sort of language used over and over, like a template. It's very predictable, to the point that it seems like they use a random phrase generator, programmed with leftist talking points. Here's another such criticism:
Yesterday, Rep. Daines voted in favor of the sequester, and endorsed the devastating cuts that will eliminate 750,000 jobs nationally, (Just a little math reveals that this is an exaggerated number. $85 billion divided by 750,000 equals $11,333 per job. So unless the feds pay less than minimum wage, this number is clearly false.)
force furloughs, and negatively impact our everyday lives by cutting funding for vital education and public safety programs right here in Bozeman. (Why is it that cuts in government [which really aren't cuts at all but reductions increases of spending] always seem to get directed toward hot-button issues like law enforcement and education? I have never read about cuts to bovine flatulence studies, Piss Christ art, or Obama's many expensive vacations. It's as if the only possible cuts that can be made are for crucial programs. Seriously, in a $3.8 trillion budget, there's absolutely nothing that can be cut?)
Rep.Daines voted to stick with wealthy corporations instead of stand up for the hardworking Americans that he is supposed to represent in our community. (The idea here is that the Left can never consent to cutting government. Every dollar is critical, because without government we are doomed. So if cuts aren't made painful, then they risk to possibility that people will realize that cutting government is a viable possibility, and the Left cannot countenance that. The worst thing for the left is that the sequester cuts won't even be noticed.)
We won’t stand for this anymore (Anymore? The letter writer makes it sound like there's been cut after cut. But there has never been real, purposeful cuts to government. Never.)
— Rep. Daines should take action to reverse these cuts. The simple solution to reverse the sequester is to close the corporate tax loopholes and use that revenue to pay down our national debt or invest in our community. (Perhaps the letter writer can point to a time when tax increases resulted in a reduction of the national debt. The last time the national debt decreased was 1957, and it wan't due to tax increases. Tax increases always get spent by a factor of three. She gives it away by here phrase, "invest in our community." This is leftist code speak for pending even more money. I guarantee that if someone proposed a tax increase and it was implemented, there would be all kinds of squawking on the Left if that money was earmarked for paying down the debt.)
Rep. Daines, it’s wrong to allow companies like GE and Facebook to cash in their tax rebates on billions of untaxed dollars in profits while simultaneously laying off teachers, firefighters, national park employees, and other middle-class workers who are the backbone of this community. (Teachers and firefighters are not paid by the feds, they are local government employees. But they are useful rhetorically. How horrifying! We can't let our houses burn! Our children can be left ignorant! We need teachers and firefighters! Oh, those eeeevil Republicans, helping their fatcat buddies while chillun' starve!
Never mind that tax laws have largely been written by Democrats, and these companies are engaging in legal activity. And of course, it isn't true that GE pays no income taxes. I provide some links here. You know, I wonder how much tax revenue the letter writer is avoiding by taking deductions on her tax returns. I'll bet she's depriving the treasury of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a year.
It must be a scary thing for leftists who worship at the government altar. Government is so central to their lives they can't imagine how they could get along with less of it. Government is the answer to their every problem. We would all suffer horrible deaths if it weren't for every single crucial dime spent by government. After all, cutting government is like diminishing god. We can't diminish god, because he's running the universe! The leftist universe has government at its center, all knowing and all seeing, endlessly benevolent, caring for the poor and the dispossessed, defending the unfortunate from evil forces of capitalism, standing arm in arm with those who depend on it for their sustenance, yearning for the next pronouncement like church goers hanging on each word of the pastor's sermon.
Bow down before government, for it is wise and kind, the source of all that's good. Rise up, believers, and take a stand against those who accumulate too much! Take it from them, they don't deserve it. Give it to the poor, they actually are the ones who should have had it to begin with. Yes, bow down before the great god government, who gives generously and blesses us with bounty! Bow down, and receive your inheritance from the most high government. Choose rightly, or suffer the consequences!)
