so lets see we're in the middle of a global financial and economic meltdown. almost, if not, everyday we learn of businesses closing or laying off many people just right here in louisiana and the federal government is trillions of dollars in debt to people like the red chinese.

doesnt it make sense to you that if the louisiana legislature was comprised of honest, respectable people who truly gave a damn about the citizens of this state, that in these perilous times that they would be diligently working to reduce taxes and fees?

instead these criminals are steadily raising taxes and fees and creating out of thin air needless crimes to take away our freedoms with.

cant you see whats going on here? we have this bill HB 889 and HB 569 to place a tax on everyone's internet access and SB 335 to delay the stelly tax cuts -- all under the guise of the poor children -- which incidentally if they cared so much for "the children" then why did the house vote [HB 687] to take away poor children's in school dentistry?;

what these lunatics are doing is getting even with every demographic and socio-economic group -- some two or three or many more times over -- who helped to kill last years SB 672 their massive legislative pay raise fraud bill.

the louisiana legislature every last one of them is nothing but a bunch of criminals. they all should be horse whipped, tarred, feathered and run the hell out of louisiana on a rail.

then that giant phallic symbol that they all sit in and fuck us from, ought to be torn down brick by brick and thrown in the gulf of mexico.
