Your Tax Dollars At Work . . . for the RNC.
from BoingBoing:
"Tex sez: "It appears that our tax money is being used to spread RNC propaganda.
Go here to this taxpayer-funded site and read at the bottom. These lines are there:
America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation.
Now go to this page. Go down to the bottom. In bold in the next to the last paragraph you will read:
America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's polices are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation."
At the moment, both still seem to be up. Not a bombshell, but certainly disturbing that Treasury is enthusiastically regurgitating propaganda.
The text of some of the Treasury bulletins was even more partisan than the text in question. I wrote and posted an article on the subject at the URL attached to this message ( http://home.att.net/~rdavis2/treas1.html ). Feel free to use it in whatever way you wish.
