U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbied Republicans to kill 9/11 responders bill

They should change their name. What a fucking disgrace.

They lobbied against the bill because it was being paid for by closing a tax loophole exploited by foreign corporations doing business in the United States.

GOP Senator, John Thune killed the bill because extending all tax cuts was more important. There people who wrap themselves in the flag yet deny those who sacrificed for the country ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Here is Jon Stewart in his last show of the year. Neither NBC, CBS, ABC or Fox have covereed the story. Which news network did? Al Jazeera.

Stewart devoted the entire show to the issue. In the seocnd part he had some 9/1 first responders live on the show who are all suffering horrendous health issues from 9/11. It is heartbreaking and makes me so angry at the same time.

the right in this country have totally lost their moral compass and any sense of decency.
