| Message | (I need to wake up) This is NOT reform in any way, shape or form. This bill disrupts the growth ability and viability of our economy which is growing steadily and rapidly. It hampers the growth of business, and eliminates our primary source of income WHICH IS PUNATIVE TOWARD THE RICH. The current system WORKS and WORKS WELL. GET OVER IT and STOP TRYING TO SCREW WITH IT!!! |
