Democrats claim to be "for the little guy." One of their recurring themes is that they will fight for people while Republicans fight for corporations. However, that simply isn't true. And yet again, North Carolina Democrats show that they care about cash money, power, and absolutely nothing else -- least of all the worker who pays taxes.

At issue is the $40 million giveaway to a private corporation. While there continue to be hundreds of millions of dollars needed NOW to fix the horrible roads in North Carolina, Democrats honestly do not care. They do not care about fixing roads. Perhaps if an overpass breaks and dozens die they will care (well, I don't think they will, they'll just demand more tax money), but for now, they have decided they want to GIVE a company $40 million of taxpayer money. Why? Because they like that company.

One Democrat (strangely, Mike Easley, governor) for some reason actually vetoed this $40 million taxpayer money giveaway. Perhaps he's had a bought of conscience. For whatever reason, he said that he's rather NOT give away $40 million that people worked hard for to a company who did nothing for the money. But the Democrats who really run the state -- in the House and Senate -- are working very hard today to ensure that Goodyear gets that cash, even though they did nothing to earn it.

North Carolina Republicans are fighting this corporate welfare. North Carolina Republicans believe that this cash that has been collected from taxpayers should either be given back to the taxpayers who worked and EARNED the money; or at the very least should be used to fix the roads that Democrats have neglected for decades.

Support whichever group you happen to agree with.
