Change of heart or politics as usual


     Democratic Senator Steven Horsford follows the Democratic playbook.  He tells middle class America he is for them and receives their backing.  He enjoys a year meeting privately with corporate America behind his constituents back.  He then takes pleasure in the perks corporate America lavishly spread upon him for his votes on the floor.  Now he can sit back, say he was for it before he was against it and screw middle class America!
     It’s not all his fault though he was following the path of the great leader of change President Obama.  “Change you can believe” is what Obama touted as he gained middle class America’s support and rode our backs to the Presidency.  Then elected Obama signs the bill extending the Bush era tax cuts for the rich that he was against when he was running for the highest office in America.
     Sen. Horsford falls in line, no longer wanting to impose corporate income taxes in Nevada.  He now shifts the focus from taxing rich corporate America to wanting to tax the service industries.  Service industries are house cleaners, landscapers, repairman and your pool guy who are mostly small business owners.  These middle class American owned businesses are struggling to keep their business afloat as they are attacked over and over again.
     Banks get bailouts, small business owners get the shaft and corporate owned policians lavishly enjoy the taste of the corporate lemonade behind closed doors.     
     Add Sen. Horsford to the list of politicians that would put a dagger to the torso of middle class American business owners before he would impose taxes on rich corporate America.
