For nearly a year, Brian cringes every time he hears about the TARP assistance given to several Big Corporations. We the working class citizens have carried the burden of an oppressive and counterproductive tax system which has given, (taxpayer’s dollars) “No Interest Loans” to these so called Too Big To Fail Corporations creating this huge budget deficit. Taxpayer dollars which was utilized to pay: CEO’s salaries; insulated their golden parachutes; bonuses of upper management, and their junkets to Las Vegas, too gamble away our hard earned money. It further sickens me that the politicians in Washington have the audacity to think that they can give a pacifier, (low interest loans) to small business owners to assure their vote in next year’s elections. That is why when Brian becomes congressman he will push the following agenda:  

• The restoring of full employment should be a top federal priority of Congress.
• The next round of TARP funding should be invested in Community Banks; Small Businesses; the American Infrastructure, and Natural Gas to create jobs and renewable energy.
• Federal, State and local governments reform their tax systems by restoring higher tax rates for corporations and the reducing of tax rates of the working class Americans.
• Small Business owners who have received low interest loans under HR. 3854 interest should be forgiven and any interest already paid by the time of this bill being enacted should receive tax credits and other incentives.
• Companies and States receiving federal stimulus dollars should be required to respect the rights of workers to organize and bargain collectively.
• Job creation Tax Credit incentives to both small and big businesses.
• State Infrastructure no interest loans creating thousands of jobs.
• Abolish NAFTA and CAFTA to bring back lost American jobs.
