The Balanced Budget Amendment Is A Lie - Its An Anti-Tax Amendment |
|
That requires a two third vote to raise taxes. Thus, it weighs the scale in favor of corporations and the rich. The Balanced Budget Amendment should be called the Free Ride for Richie Rich Amendment, because it has nothing to do with getting our debt under control, and everything to do with constitutionally protecting corporations and the rich. Yet, the corporate media still gives Republicans a free pass by hiding the fact that the so-called balanced budget amendment creates such a high level of protection for the rich and privileged.

2. It's a Right-Wing favorite. |

We've all seen how well it worked in Colorado and California...darn near shut down both states. It was floated by the right wing a few years ago here in Arizona as a voter's initiative. Got shot down by our more rational citizens. It's amazing how something that obviously cannot and has never worked keeps popping up, always touted by the same groups of people.
