Detroit City Council member demands quid pro quo – votes for bailout cash

As the city of Detroit contemplates bankruptcy, some leaders in the city don’t think they should have to go bankrupt and renegotiate the current contracts and unfunded future entitlements the city has. They want some of Obama’s stash.

This is the America we are voting for.

That’s right, I did not use the “quid pro quo” quote to make a sensational headline, she did it herself.

City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizen’s support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city. (Click the video player to listen)

“Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson. “Of course, not just that, but why not?”

Yeah, why not. It's payoff time after all. Surely Obama didn't
figure he was gonna get something for nothing. :?


Now's when he taxes $50 billion and spends $250 billion


the great, great grandkids can pay off the $4million dollar holiday to Hawaii, instead of those that used to work at Hostess and pay taxes.

Yep Those millionaires that pay no taxes, those that live off Soc. Sec. that pay none, those in the military that pay none. Geesh I don't see how the guy got reelected, especially with the strong Rep. candidate who has millions in offshore accounts. Do you think maybe as in most elections the people voted for the lesser of 2 evils????

For your post to be accurate, you would first have to provide evidence that millionaires do not pay taxes.


Get ready, set, go.....

Do you notice how the left in order for them to debate they must first misrepresent your stance. Then they attack the bogus stance.

not true.. I paid taxes every year I served.... and still pay taxes on my retirement pay..

My understanding is that those in combat zones are able to deduct their pay from their gross income. Could be wrong but thats what I remember reading somewhere.

It is quite comical that the left under the pretense of defending the military turn out slapping the military in their face.

Combat pay, or "Imminent Danger" pay IS exempt, TSR. You got something against that? :roll:

TSR I want your sorry ass to enlist and go into a war zone and get your ass shot at. Then you can complain about the military and the taxes they pay. You really are a piece of sh!t. Typical democrap.

AND speaking of combat pay ..... it is easily available to any who might wish to serve their country in an area that is a bit "spicy".

So if someone is looking for a little tax free money, all they have to do is step up to the plate, sign that blank cheque - good to the government of their choice for "up to and including your life" - and fill their ruck with the essentials - a days food and water and a few hundred rounds of ammo plus whatever luxuries you might be willing to hump around in the boonies.

Realistically the money is not the driver. It is often a sense of adventure, many times it is because the life offers things that cannot be found on the street, but more often still, it is an over riding sense of duty to community and country that brings people to do this.

I have not heard too many complaints about those who take the American dollar or the Queen's shilling getting that cash tax free for doing what many are not willing or able to do.

Travel is usually arranged free of charge and can often be had on very short notice and accommodations is provided on the nearest clear space you can find on the ground that is smooth and dry (if you are lucky LOL)

Military pay is taxed.

Military pensions are taxed.

Exactly the same as the Canucks, the Brits and I think - all NATO troops that serve their various countries.

Old folks money - those who have usually earned it through hard work building their local economy and their government and their country - also are taxed on that pittance pension cheque they get monthly.

US of A info is from the exchange officer - a Major - out of Offut AFB who sits in the office beside me here in Shirley's Bay (a very small Canadian base)

Someone always tries to get the story bent out of shape - including misleading or false information - providing copious amounts of BS crapola - and then attacks using that false information.

What was it - Heinrich Himmler (I believe) once said?

Never tell a small lie. Tell a huge one. Repeat it often enough and soon everyone will believe it.

Even the Nazis were aware of the importance of the BIG lie - seems like everything stays the same - only the names and the faces change.

Off to fly another mission this morning - a fun one - best to all.

Merry Christmas

they still pay taxes.. not all taxes such as income tax while serving in a combat zone.. but even while serving our nation that get taxed.. they still have to file an income tax return and pay taxes on pay not received while in a combat zone..

for example..
Military personnel have FICA taken out of their military pay even when serving in a combat zone.

well that puts them in the giver side of the 47% (or taxed)

I think you've probably missed my previous posts concerning my high regard for the men and women in our military. Whether they pay taxes or not does not diminish my admiration and thanks for what they do. Best to you and have a safe and Merry Christmas.

I should have maybe been a little more specific as I was referring to income taxes as that was what Romney was talking about most believe--the topic was referring to the 47%. After Romney's comment most newscasters made the same argument you made saying they (47%) paid other taxes sales, fica, etc. I'm all for them paying no income taxes while in a combat zone,they need and deserve all the breaks they can get monetary and otherwise. Like BC said anyone wanting to take advantage of the income tax break given to combat zone sodiers--go join.
