Quick easy fix to some of our problems. No company, corporation or business which has paid out dividends in the last 6 months should be allowed to qualify for any government assistance. Any business which has outstanding debt to the government should not be allowed to pay out dividends. Any business which has used government assistance in the last 6 months should not be allowed to pay out any dividends. If a business cannot operate responsibility for their future, we the tax payers should not be on the hook to make up for their poor planning. Paying out profits as dividends then using low interest government loans to fund continuing operations is a direct transfer of public tax dollars straight to shareholders.
Jeff Immelt and GE got $126 MILLION stimulus dollars despite making over $6 BILLION profit and paying ZERO TAXES at the same time. BaROKE Obumbler's $852 STIMULUS bill to create JOBS and start SHOVEL READY PROJECTS turns out to be a SLUSH FUND FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS LIKE SOLYNDRA, GE, JEFF DOERR and STEVE WESTLY, other DONORS, fictitious zip codes,etc.. Obumbler blew $852 BILLION, NOW HE WANTS $450 BILLION MORE---SHOW US THE MONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE $852 BILLION?? Criminals always return to scene of the crime, Obumbler's BACK TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS! Millions went to foreign banks, $529 MILLION went to Finland to build hybrid cars, MILLIONS went to Hezbollah, MILLIONS TO CRONIES. The same type of CRONIES are on his JOBS BOARD! All we'll get from them is more LIES, DECEIT, FRAUD!
