Marco Rubio Calls Greatest Gen. Weak
snip

Rubio's theme of personal responsibility is laughable when you consider he is the same guy who participates in taxpayer-funded healthcare. The same guy who will receive both a state pension and a federal pension funded by federal and Florida taxpayers in the coming years. Conveniently members of the U.S. Senate become fully vested in their first term.

The same guy who as Speaker of the Florida House reported income in excess of $400,000, including a salary of $69,000 for work performed at Florida International University (a state-owned school) and $300,000 salary from a law firm for part-time work (now that's a part-time job).

Even with all that money coming in Rubio listed a net worth of only $8,332 due to his carrying $903,000 debt in the form of three mortgages, as well as a car and student loan. This is the same guy who had to restate his financial disclosure for inaccuracies, including a small oversight - failing to report a $135,000 home equity loan he took out on one of his two homes. http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/207934/250/Farrell-Files-Rubio-calls-greatest-generation-weak

1. That's the republican way!
Edited on Mon Aug-29-11 03:00 PM by Andy823
It's "terrible" when we have to pay out "unemployment", or "medicare", "SS", "food stamp programs", or have to actually pay a "wage" that a person can live on, but when it comes to them getting all the can from the government, well that's a whole different story, and they want ALL they can get!

How anybody in their right mind could actually vote for these kind of hypocrites is hard to understand. Just like rep. Walsh who owes like 9 years of child support who lied to his wife about "not" having the money while he donated something like $35,000 to his own race for office, and was taking his girlfriend on trips overseas, yet had the nerve to say he didn't want to put the burden of the debt on those same kids and grandkids! These people are a joke, and the whole tea party was always a joke since they were financed by the Koch brothers, and never were a grass roots movement as they claim.
