I think you are confused. They actually do care about the taxpayers. -willieh
Somehow, I don't think you got the memo from Governor Moonbeam, er, Sanford:
Employment Insecurityhttp://www.fitsnews.com/2008/12/19/employment-insecurity/From the article:
"By threatening to effectively withhold nearly $150 million worth of unemployment benefit payments to an estimated 77,000 unemployed South Carolinians, the governor is hoping to draw a line in the sand and force long-overdue reforms at this inept, irresponsible agency. That’s a great desired outcome, and one that would no doubt result in more consistent employment data, a better understanding of why our rates are so consistently high and, most importantly, better service to our state’s swelling ranks of unemployed workers.
But he’s already lost the argument …
Seriously, we’re all for holding guns to people’s heads (figuratively speaking), but you probably shouldn’t announce a week before Christmas that you’re going to cut off relief to people who need it because you’re involved in an inter-governmental pissing contest."
That's your REAL REPUBLICAN* ... the one thats for REFORM.
To me - and to the other 77,000 South Carolinians, he just told us all to eff off.
... stupid ...

* - By Real Republican, I mean a Libertarian that couldn't get elected on the platform of his own party, thus forcing him to GLOM onto the SC GOP to win higher office.
