Look, up in the sky, It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's... welfare for the feudal elite.

During the early days of Obama's term, he commented on corporate jets hauling CEO's to meetings discussing bailouts while the pink slips blotted out the sun like the global warming dust storms in Phoenix.  Most the business jets are made in GOP fortress Wichita Kansas.  The states all GOP elected body in DC howled like a dog under a gate.  Sales of jets fell when the Wall Street sparked mortgage default swap pyramid sank like a corpse in an Tijuana acid bath.  The city was in an uproar, Obama had said the rich shouldn't fly in private jets, and they stopped, he ruined the market.  I know a couple of guys that own their own jets.  I can tell you for certain, they don't listen to little black sambo president telling them not to play with their toys, if they want to go to Grand Cayman for the weekend to count money, they go.

Well they piled on the abuse, each one nastier than what came before it.  No "named" official or business man in the state has avoided his responsiblity to wish the President, and his family, a disaster, political and personal.  

Throughout this, the GOP has wanted to increase, (already it's a special write off) the write off's for private owned aircraft.  Now Obama has named these little 3 to 25 million dollar toys as a product owned by people so rich they could chip in a few bucks to help us out of a jam.  Oh, shit, no they cry.  We need those write offs and deductions or we just can't do it, it hangs by a thread for people with the millions and billions to buy one.  Let me tell you one thing for sure.  These poodle toten skin flints are not going to sell the jet and stand with you to be patted down, or share the shit house in terminal C with you, nope, ain't happening, a bluff sure as shoot'n.  

So, now the whole bunch that trashed him is begging Obama, come to Wichita, see all the people making planes, see why we can't slow the write off for the mansion owner buying the jet.  Obama don't answer.  Why in hell would he come here?  This bunch have said so many hateful things, now they want help.  Obama's mother was born near here, lived near here, his grandparents worked in the aircraft plants here.  The mayor of ElDorado (maybe it was county commissioner??) said a while back when someone wanted to put up a marker to point out to tourist his mother was born here, he said if they do he will direct it to be torn down.  I think in spite of the spite, he would come here if we could get rid of the Electoral College.  He can never win Kansas, no democrat voting here makes a difference or any value with the electoral votes.  If we had a popular vote, like the rest of the world, he would come, if he could raise the 30% dem vote to 35%, it might mean something to the campaign.  Otherwise, I support him on this, insult and threaten me for 2 years in a red state, hey, he's got lots to do, so work on some other problem, a problem where people don't wish you harm then demand your help.  

By the way, about 5 years ago the FAA wanted to charge to file a flight plan, $20 I think it was for IFR, meaning radar would track you and give you directions and advice.  The jet owners said they couldn't afford it.  So, Mr and Mrs we don't own a plane pays for it, not the people who use it, they get a service most of you have never heard of, they get it for free, as it should be for the feudal elite.
