Bob McDonnell's Super Awesome Budget (and some lies)

I just wanted to make a video pointing out that Bob McDonnell is not "awesome" for small business owners.

big on small biz...because SMALL biz doesn't have DEEP pockets to FIGHT you?

@practicalmagic9 That sounds about right.

So Bob McDonald basically pulled revenue from sales tax in one month early. Isn't that just going to create the potential for a deficit this month? Did he by chance used to work for the auto industry? That's exactly what GM and Ford did in 2002 and we all know how well that worked out.

@PJsCreed He pulled this trick for the 2009, 2010, & 2011 budgets, then it goes back to normal in 2012... is the way I understood it. He also deferred pension and other payments to July to count them on the next budget.

@kirke420 Yep. Who do you think would be helped by stressing SMALL business?

[kirke420]

@beechgrovejoe I gotcha now... politics as usual..

[beechgrovejoe]

@kirke420 Well he did try to attract the targets to his state before starting to shooting at them. He treated them as priviledged to make them viable targets. Then he used it to make himself look better. And the voters get nothing extra but the small business owners get more pain. Sounds like politics to me.

[kirke420]

@TIPinkUnicorn Yes, Bob McDonnell is not a friend to small business, but he is a great friend to the voter apparently..

[kirke420]

@beechgrovejoe Well said.. I think :)

@tattooskin72 Yeah, I've heard some stories... Although this whole "no compromise" chant from the tea party is really pissing me off. Contrary to their claims, the founding fathers had compromise in mind when the constitution was drafted!
