How do I response to this crap from Rubio when I confronted him about his NO vote on the 1/2 % tax

[Maraya1969]

increase on 1 million and up to create jobs. He sent me an explanation as to why he voted no and apparently this is it. Can anyone give me something to say back? I can't even understand what he is saying and I feel like it is a bunch of crap designed to cover up another load of shit. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

"Thank you for contacting me in regard to the American Jobs Act of 2011 (AJA). As you know the AJA was introduced by President Obama on September 12, 2011. While I recognize the need for pro-growth solutions to our nation's economic woes, this plan fails to address the fundamental challenges we face in regard to job creation. The president's answer to our nation's unemployment rate is an additional $447 billion in debt-financed spending and $453 billion in tax increases. At a time when our levels of spending are unsustainable, our focus should be on creating a business friendly environment allowing the private sector to flourish. For these reasons, I did not vote in favor of the AJA.

As of September 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has put the national unemployment rate at 9.1%, up from 7.8% in January of 2009. As of September 2011, Florida's unemployment rate is at 10.6%, up from 8.5% in January of 2009. Jobs will only be created when job creators feel confident in the economic climate. We must also encourage investment in America's small businesses and foreign investment in the private sector. Our economy can only grow if we increase the availability of jobs and attract investment to promote the growth of business.



Unfortunately, the President's plan fails to quell the concerns of small business owners. Business owners across our state and nation are concerned about burdensome regulations, looming tax hikes, and an overwhelming federal debt and deficit which are making it nearly impossible to survive in this economic climate. These problems are preventing people from starting new businesses or expanding existing businesses by hiring new workers.



As Florida's junior senator, I am committed to working with anyone who proposes a serious plan that addresses these issues specifically. I believe the President's plan will only serve to further an atmosphere of uncertainty, which is detrimental to job creators. Again, I thank you for your input and will keep your concerns in mind should legislation in regard to job creation come before the Senate. "

1. A thought

You could ask him to refrain from using political buzzwords like "job creators" and speak like a human being. You could also ask exactly which regulations are so crippling to the vaunted American businessman that he is too terrified to hire. Also, what are his thoughts on fundamentally reforming the banking system so that a repeat of the last 3 years does not occur again.

I sound a bit angry. Sorry about that.

2. It's OK. I'm angry too. I feel like he is doing a bullshit walk all over us.

I like the idea of his use of buzzwords like, "job creators".

3. "A plan is better than no plan"

Aside from that I sincerely doubt he wrote that "standard letter" which is probably in use in other US States too.

You could also point out that as he is a proven liar why should you believe his response : http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=405x55921

4. there is no reponse to bullshit.

no matter how hard you try to make sense of what he is saying it boils down to bullshit.

I don't know of any small business people that are waiting to find out what their tax rates are going to be in 2013 or can't hire due to the federal debt. They're wondering what happened to the credit lines and jobs of others that helped them create a business with actual value instead of money lending in the temples.

You'd be better off asking him to loan you a rpof credit card.

5. Tell him to write his own letter. I got nearly the exact same response from my senator.

It's a rubber stamp letter. Idiots.

6. What he's saying is

"I won't do a damn thing to help Americans, but let me spit out some talking points while I've got you here."

No small businesses are upset over "regulations." Large mega corporations may be, but small business owners want two things right now: CAPITAL to hire and expand (which "Florida's Junior Senator" knows the banks are sitting on like broody hens) and PAYING CUSTOMERS, which means people with enough income to purchase goods and services.

He's just like DeJarlais here in TN (rep, not senator) and all the rest of the rePUKES the people of Tennessee stupidly voted into office. As long as Obama fails, they've done their job.

Rubio doesn't give a damn about the American people, good Republican that he is - Republican GREED and EGO and HATRED of the common citizen are all we will get out of Republicans.

But at least you tried.....
