Something NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen Is Actually Good At

Shaheen Koch and a Smile
Lying for Lawyers…

Democrat promises are not much different from everyone elses lies.  Yes, ObamaCare is the biggest example, and there is Benghazi, among others.  But I’m more interested in this whole income (in)equality thing.

Remember the Lilly Ledbetter act?  Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen promoted this legislation as the solution to workplace wage equality.  The DCCC even included it in their annual Ruin Thanksgiving Talking points in 2010.  Lilly Ledbetter “restored” the rights of women and other workers to challenge unfair pay and to close the so-called wage gap.  They already had that right but doesn’t it sound so much better with some liberal angst and drivel poured over the top?

In a January 22nd, 2009 Press release Senator Shaheen wrote.

The Act ensures that all Americans are paid the same wage regardless of their age, gender, race or ethnicity.

That was five years ago and every year since then, Shaheen has celebrated the anniversary of ‘ensuring that all Americans are paid the same wage‘ by taking credit for it while observing that there is still more work to be done.

But if you fixed it you wouldn’t have to bring it back up.  If you didn’t fix it, what did that legislation actually “ensure” and who really benefited from it?

Not American’s regardless of age, gender, race or ethnicity, clearly.

So it is safe to assume Democrats  like Jeanne Shaheen and Carol Shea-Porter lied back then, or are they lying now?

We know they lie.  They lie about riots, guns, insurance, racism, they lie to women, children, gays, minorities, everyone.  So what can you do?  Tell the truth.

Republicans should highlight who would really benefit from bills like the Paycheck Fairness Act, the newest “equal pay” legislation championed by the Left. It’s lawyers. Do Americans really think that the best way to boost women’s economic prospects and earnings is to encourage more class-action lawsuits?

Lilly Ledbetter was a bill whose primary benefactors were lawyers, which is why after ensuring lawyers would benefit from more lawsuits generated by that legislation, there is still room for more laws for lawyers to interpret at rates of pay well above say…any sum less than a few hundred dollars an hour.

If you had failed to notice, a lot of what actually happens in DC happens to benefit lawyers and politicians, and the only thing it ever ensures is that you will need more legislation, so you can pay more lawyers, and more bureaucrats, to manage things at your expense.

Did you know that lawyers are major donors to Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s campaign.  Major. Donors.  And the Bureaucrats (like the lawyers) are majority Democrat voters, who also support Shaheen.  It sounds like the only thing Senator Shaheen is any good at ensuring is that her political gravy train stays on the tracks and someone else pays to keep it there.

She does that by supporting huge, complex, bills, and passing multi-thousand page pieces of legislation that even legislators (many of whom are lawyers) cannot read or understand.   These laws empower unelected bureaucrats with the ability to create more ‘law’ with the force of law, all to justify their existence and for the care and feeding of law firms and lobbyists who then reward Senator Shaheen with campaign contributions.

Big oil, at least, does its business with its own money, and creates something we need and use.  And the more of it there is the cheaper their product becomes for the rest of us.  Laws, bureaucrats, lawyers, and politicians, are all parasites that feed off the hard work of others.  They don’t make anything unless making debt and deficits counts, or finding new ways to rob us of our natural rights with taxes taken from our own wages constitutes creating something.

That is the Shaheen legacy.  Creating more parasites who then share the product of their hosts to keep her in power.

So, I guess we found something Jeanne Shaheen is actually good at, besides lying.
