Giuliani

New York Daily News:

Corporations that got multimillion-dollar sweetheart tax deals from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani have raised more than $1 million for his Senate and presidential bids, the Daily News has found.

When he was mayor, Giuliani doled out tax reductions to giant corporations far more aggressively than all other New York mayors since the city tax breaks emerged in the 1980s.

One needs to know what if any money Rudy got from Motorola which led to the tragic loss of lives of many NYFD men on 9-11.

Rudy comes from the mafia want to be movie where he saves the world from terrorists and cleans up the streets taking all the murderers, pimps and those who did him wrong and tossing them into the pits of hell. Strange when he is his own idol. His delusions have fortunately been seen and heard and the media has started to do the job on him and his cross dressing. There are the other wingnuts in the top heap of republicans that also need to be brought out for all to see who they really are and I hope the media does the same for them.

Look unless someone has solid indications of a quid pro quo I'm not looking too hard at any of these type of stories. It is not surprising businesses and organizations support politicians with whom they share policy views. Don't think so. I'll question those policies supported by each politician which gets them this support. But the fact their supporters have the same views and make donations is a non starter.

Yeah, this is called the wipe my ass, I'll wipe your ass deal.
Like this is shocking?
And, if Rudy gets the chance to be the new dictator of America, do you think a corporate government won't still exist?
It will.
He will continue the tax breaks that Bush has shoved through for the rich. Corporations will still prosper under his rule. Big oil companies will continue to receive their tax breaks, even with a 9 Billion dollar profit.
So, expect much of the same if Rudy ruled the world.

Wait a minute. Let's not jump to any conclusions here. There is a perfectly good explanation for Rudy's actions. In fact he is going to hold a press conference to tell you what that is - AS SOON AS THE LYING BASTARD CAN THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY.

I never saw so many dollars wasted so badly!

The only break they'll get off Rudy is heartbreak!

This is what's known as an end around kickback.

Fascism = Corporate blending with government with a touch of nationalism. The nationalism came and went with 9/11 - the corporations are still pulling the strings of their Democrat and Republican puppets. Support those who DON'T take corporate payoffs!
