Unabashedly, Daines ran on a platform of MORE JOBS, LESS GOVERNMENT. One has to question less government for whom? It seems Daine's firm has had substantial dealings with Wal Mart, another corporate welfare queen; taxpayers shell out 6.2 billion annually in public assistance to Walmart employees so the company can continue to artificially depress wages of its low wage work force. In addition, taxpayers also subsidize Walmart's executive bonuses about 298 million over six years. This is corporate welfare KING status on a gargantuan scale, it is mind-boggling. As a result of the federally contracted, propped up Right Now Technologies, Daines' and his partners unloaded this software firm for a cool 1.8 billion to Oracle in 2012, making Daines a very savvy corporate welfare king.
The colossal hypocrisy is in itself mind-boggling for a party that scared and rallied its base by screaming and smearing the Democratic party as socialist, communistic and envious of people who make it. It is also incredibly hypocritical for a party that has held the minimum wage hostage for decades, a policy that has eviscerated the middle class and downright brutalizes the working poor.
Welcome to the Senate to the newbie Daines, a socialist of colossal scale. I think the term socialist may be too good of a label. Let's say, corporate welfare king. Meanwhile, even a candidate with nothing to lose at all, ran from a President who by all definition, helped out the wealthy, stabilized the economy, mitigated a 2008 economic crash, enacted the Lily Ledbetter Act, and lessened the unemployment rate. With absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain, Amanda Curtis failed to turn on the Indian vote by engaging the President, and lost by a large margin. It would be foolhardy for Ms. Curtis to run again.
