You might also add that this type of behavor gives the GOP a black eye with the working class voters. Who is going to vote for a party that supports an economic stimulus package that is mostly tax breaks for corporations. The voters sincerely doubt that the tax breaks will be plowed back into investment, but suspect the dollars will go for personal gain of top management at the expense of the rank and file employees. It is being percieved that GOP equals greed.

Nationally yes, but locally (Houston) no, BILLIONS of dollars have been siphoned off for downtown white democrat property owners with the public's full knowledge (and "support"). The re-election campaign for the mayor who is doing this is close and his largest support comes from impoverished black voters.
