Our governor is willing to let 90,000 people die because it will cost taxpayers pennies to fund the health care act, and that's too much money. Yet he feels that corporations making money hand over fist deserve billions in taxpayer money so they don't have to spend their profits.

It goes into their offshore accounts until the next election cycle, when the money they put away tax-free is then used to re-elect the person who is giving them all the corporate welfare they could ever want. You know who this governor is really working for, and its not the citizens of this state. All you have to do is look at his record, gutting all the programs for the poor, elderly and disabled so he can give away billions to the people who put him in office in tax breaks and grants.

Yet he guts the programs for the rest of us, telling the poor, elderly and disabled to go to a charity for their needs. The taxpayer should not be the one paying for them. Businesses that are doing everything they can to make obscene profits by cutting benefits and wages are the recipients of all kinds of government welfare.

If this governor was truly for the taxpayer he would end all subsidies for the corporations that make record profits and yet still receive billions in taxpayer money. I defy this governor to tell me why a person making $11,500 a year should stand on their own two feet and pay their own way, but companies that make record profits are still "struggling" and need those billions in taxpayer funds.

Why can't they stand on their own two feet? If they are losing money, then go out of business and let someone else take it over. That's capitalism. Can you say hypocrite?
