Eyeblast TV / The Blast ( Media Research Center) ^ | 7/26/2010 | Joe Schoffstall

Apparently some people still consider the former Obama “Green Jobs” Czar relevant–news to me. Van Jones spoke at the progressive 2010 Netroots Convention in Las Vegas this past weekend and made statements that would be shocking, if they weren’t this painfully routine for him. He reassured those in attendance that the deficit in the U.S. is really nothing to worry about– we can always nail those big, bad rich companies for higher taxes.

The Obama useful idiots, they always forget it’s their economy too ...

And the young, they will pay and pay and pay and pay and ...

Who ever got a job from someone who lives in a dumpster.

For some who claims to represent the poor,hungry and oppressed, Van Jones probably has a team of armed guards, eats the finest foods and lives in neighborhoods that do not reflect the people he desires to help.....all courtesy of very,guilt ridden wealthy donors.

Yep, you can tax rich companies and I just pass the tax on to the end user.

Doesn’t affect me in the least, except for the higher prices I pay for everything.

Taxes only benefit government all the while increasing the total cost for goods and services.

If you raise taxes a dollar, I tack it onto the bill I give you.

Amazing how many people in this country are perfectly comfortable STEALING money from others who have more than them...the rich provide JOBS; you dipsticks. No rich people; no jobs.
