Error 404 posted:MIGF- 2012: why don't you run progressives and vote for them? MIGF 2018: "You little shits need to get off your rear end and take the silver spoons from theys mouths. Taxcuts, taxcuts, taxcuts is all he says. How do taxcuts reduce rates of cancer? How do taxcuts reduce the expenditure of public programs? Taxcuts are one policy option, one of many, yet the only one Mr. Silverspoon seems to know. I think its 'cause all he knows to do is complain, complain about the taxman rather than get off his rear end and work. That's what cha get when you're born with an off-shore trust fund. He'll say hes worked --- how much growth has he made? What has he ever done to innovate? I see strength --- so much goddamn strength in this region, while he just sees y'all as a buncha poor, indebted folk in need of a taxcut handout. I know you don't need handouts; what this region could use is a vision, leadership, and coordination in reaching it. Taxcuts aren't a vision, they are a handout. Taxcuts do not leverage the strengths of this region to grow the tax base. There is only one candidate in this race with a record of innovation. If I could accomplish regional growth and development in East Africa, I can do it here. While my opponent sees y'all as resource-poor as the folk I've worked with in Uganda, I see so much potential that it almost sickens me that someone sees you as so poor. Grow the gently caress'n economic base with innovation. Taxcuts are not innovation, they're what Mr. Silverspooners have been say'n since Caesar dared charge 'em on the booties of war. Innovate this region with me, and we will win the new American century. You want entitlements, you go for taxcuts with Mr. Silverspoon."
