The requests for a University in California as well as Ireland Inc. outweigh requests for his own district.
Neal, who is of Irish Descent, takes pride in his ethnicity at the taxpayers’ expense. While supporting every tax hike measure for individuals and corporations that come down the pike, Neal insures that Ireland remains competitive.
Suggested reading: Taxing American Companies from the Heritage Foundation here
From the tax foundation: Neal’s involvement in the ATM as it applies to the middle class.
Finally, a comparison of global tax rates, which shows Ireland ranking lowest in global tax structure from the Tax foundation.
It is not that one begrudges Ireland any successes in securing corporations which leads to more tax dollars and employment for the Irish in Ireland, however, Neal’s priorities being what they are, and the fact that the Hampden 2nd is bleeding corporations, one would think that he might have been fighting harder for the people he represents rather than his favored nation. Surely there are citizens of the Hampden Second of Irish descent who would prefer the monies appropriated for projects outside the district, be put to good use at home on projects that would create jobs for the Hampden 2nd residents.
Neal, who is up for reelection in 2010, faces a very competitive challenge for the 2nd district seat. Dr. Jay Fleitman and Mr. Tom Wesley will face off in the Republican primary on September 14th. Either Dr. Fleitman or Mr. Welsey will have the privilege of running against Congressmen Neal and the voters of the 4th distinct, Democrats, Green Party, Republican and Independents have the ability, for the first time in decades, to send Mr. Neal into retirement. Perhaps he will then be able to spend more time in either Ireland or California where it is obvious his priorities lay.
Jay Fleitman for Congress
Tom Wesley.com
This blog prefers Dr. Jay Fleitman: He has sat on the Board of Health (elected) in Norhtampton, MA (think Cambridge), as a Republican and has the knowledge as a physician and business owner to address the problems facing both the district and the nation. Number one, however is his ability to appeal to both Independents as well as Democrats. This is not to say Mr. Wesley is not a good candidate, and once the "dust settles" from the primary, whichever candidate emerges should be supported by anyone with an interest in removing Richard Neal, Charles Rangel's protege from the Hampden Second Congressional District Seat.
