Reducing taxes on private planes and yachts IS helping NC...the thousands of people laid off from other jobs can surely be hired by NC's ship building industry and jet building industry. Oh wait, we don't have those. We do have loads of Walmarts & McDonalds, but those don't do much for the tax base. We can look forward to the Tea Party Health Plan - don't get sick & don't get injured. All poor & elderly will get a free tattoo - saying DNR (do not resuscitate). Is it a surprise that the company pushing the idea of drug testing for welfare benefits, it a make of drug tests who stands to make a bundle on this? Meanwhile, Frat-boy Pat will give government jobs & contracts to his sycophants. To call him a douche bag is an insult to douche bags.
