This assumes Governor TP cares about small business. He doesn't ever act for small business or small businessmen. He acts for BIG business, the bigger the better, the better to wipe out all the little businesses and concentrate the wealth in the fewest possible hands. The goal is a very small class of filthy rich aristocrats, and a huge mass of very poor peasants. Like lots of third world countries. Bush, Pawlenty, the ruling class - bust all the small businesses, privatize the buses and schools and everything else. Leave NO lever for the vast majority to affect anything at all - just work when and where and for what wage the cold elite dictate. I don't credit Gov TP with a single act favorable to the general public. He's a toxic waster, ready to roll over everything and squeeze out the money from our wallets, the work from our bodies, etc. We can sit around and let Gov TP do it to us. Or we can say NO, all together, and stop him. --David Shove Roseville > > Emilie Quast > SE Como > (Who is still thanking people for donating to that food drive) > > REMINDERS: > 1.
