Flying Flipper

The White House is pushing to shift some of the tax burden from major airlines to smaller, private aircraft owners. And wouldn't you know it, the change is opposed by Robin Hayes. After years of marching in lock-step with King George II, Hayes has finally broken ranks.
Representative Robin Hayes, Republican of North Carolina and a private pilot, said higher taxes might discourage race-car drivers from using the Nascar fleet of private jets in his district.
Why would Flipper cross the Preznit on a policy issue like this? One reason: Greed. This proposal would take money out of Robin Hayes' own damn pocket. Too bad he wasn't working in a textile mill when it came time to vote on CAFTA.
Horror of horrors!
Are you as worried as I am about the millionaire NASCAR drivers who might not get to fly in their private jets?
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
What a bologna excuse.
Yeah, multimillionaire NASCAR racers, whose jets are probably paid for by multi-billionaire sponsors, are going to start flying Delta instead. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
One man with courage makes a majority.

Jesus Swept ticked me off. Too short. I loved the characters and then POOF it was over.

We're in the flight path of those damned jets
and they fly too low and are too loud coming in at night. I'd love to see the damned things grounded. Flipper is all bluff and bluster though.......the people flying in them can afford a spike in their airfare so they won't stop flying.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
