Sen. Baucus: Health Bill Will Redistribute Income

Senator Baucus is the senator from Montana:

"Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America."

Isn't it nice that the Dems want to redistribute your wealth while they cheat on their taxes. :wink: :roll: :x

Since when did it become governments job to decide what is too wealthy?? Isn't America supposed to be the land of opportunity??
Where in the constitution do they find the authority to do this??

Good questions, want to bet the reporter didn't think to ask Baucus?

I hope the Supreme Court can't find the answer to your last question then maybe the US voters will get the last laugh.

You consider an 85 year old Parliamentarian-former Green Party candidate an actual candidate? It was the joke of the state... :lol: :lol:
The Repubs wouldn't even allow him in the same room at their convention in trying to distance themselves from him... :shock: The description I heard was "they stuck him in little room off the cloakroom"..... :lol: :lol:

2008 re-election campaign

Baucus sought re-election in 2008 in Montana, a state that has seen political change starting in 2004 when it elected Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer. Brian David Schweitzer is an American politician from the U.S. state of Montana. Schweitzer is a Democrat and the current governor of Montana, serving since January 2005. Schweitzer currently has one of the highest approval ratings among governors in the nation, with polls regularly showing a...and then Democratic Senator Jon TesterJon TesterJon Tester is an organic farmer and junior U.S. Senator from the state of Montana, and a member of the Democratic Party. Prior to his election in 2006, he served as President of the Montana State Senate.-Background:...
in 2006 by a slim margin. Montana was the only state in the U.S. to switch a chamber of its legislature to Republican control in 2006. The legislative chamber had a one-seat Democratic majority that switched to a one-seat Republican majority.

Baucus raised a record amount of money for his 2008 re-election bid, 91 percent of which has come from individuals living outside of Montana. Similarly, according to the Center for Responsive PoliticsCenter for Responsive PoliticsThe is a nonpartisan research group based in Washington, D.C., that tracks money in politics, and the effect of money and lobbying activity on elections and public policy....
, Baucus' 2008 campaign raised $11.6 million, only 13% of which came from Montana donors; the rest included millions from health care and other industries overseen by Finance and Baucus' other committees. The overwhelming ratio of special interest and out-of-state dollars to donations from Montana donors have raised questions:

So as Baucus and other lawmakers attempt to craft a bill that can smash through a virtual gridlock of interests, the awkward question lingers: To whom are they more attentive, their voting constituencies back home or the dollar constituencies who are at the Capitol every day?


As a result of Senator Baucus' significant fund raising advantage, in the week that he announced his intentions to run for re-election, he opened eight state offices – one more than he has official offices in the state. Senator Baucus also announced that he had hired 35 full-time campaign staff members.

Senator Baucus won re-election in 2008 by a 73-27 margin.

If he had 91% of his funding coming from outside the State, the voters should have had their heads examined for voting for him. They got the loyolity they deserved when they voted for a guy the was plainly bought off by out of State interests. :roll:

Tam- I didn't vote for Baucus-- but voters had little choice when the Repub party couldn't come up with a viable candidate...Bob Kelleher is the biggest political joke in Montana- and thats all they could find...


RobertKelleher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert "Bob"Kelleher (born March 30, 1923) of Butte, Montana is an attorney, and was the 2008 Republican Party candidate for the United States Senate. A colorful figure and perennial candidate, he served in elective office during the 1972 Montana Constitutional Convention. Since that time, he has run for numerous political offices on various party tickets, including those of the Democratic Party and the Green Party.

Kelleher's political beliefs are consistent, long-standing, and cross party lines. He is best known for advocating that the United States adopt a Parliamentary system of government. He is a strong pro-life advocate, but also favors single-payer health care. Since 1964,Kelleher has run for public office 16 times, including a bid for the Presidency in 1976,[1] where he made the ballot in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Georgia.[2] He previously was a major party nominee on the Democratic party ticket for the Montana Eastern District race for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1964.[1]

In June, 2008, he won a surprise upset in a five-way primary election on the Republican ticket to be chosen as the nominee to face incumbent U.S. Senator Max Baucus. It was his second run against Baucus, whom he also challenged in the 2002 Senate race on the Green party ticket (2.3%). He also ran for the U.S. Senate in 1988.[1]

If you have as much influence in the State of Montana as you claim and you don't like Bought off Baucus, why didn't you use your claimed influence to see to it the voters HAD A CHOICE? :? :wink:

There is a severe Republican shortage in Montana who prefer to live in a city verses a rural area. :shock: :? Since McCain Beat your hero Obama in not only Montana but VALLEY COUNTY , I doubt very much you can claim that, but hey if you say so Oldtimer. :roll:

So again why didn't you use your over whelming influence to convince one of the many Montana Republicans to take up the challenge and run or is your claimed influence just in your head. :wink: :roll:

Tam look at the maps after the election. Only the city areas counties and reservations voted for dems.

No big surprise as those areas are where those with their hands out expect something for nothing live. There is also not many Unions in the rural areas. :wink:
