"I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut," Mitt Romney said in his first debate with Barack Obama.
To which bitchy little area megalomaniac Sheldon Adelson probably answered, "Then why the hell am I spending so much money trying to buy you the presidency?" Or words to that effect.
Just kidding. Adelson knew Romney was lying.
And tax cuts are actually the least of Adelson's stated motives behind his fabulously financed attempted hostile takeover of the U.S. government. Those motives are reviewed in this week's CityLife, by the way.
Oh, and added bonus (and because I just happened upon it while looking for something else and even though it's old it seems more relevant than ever), here is Sheldon Adelson's explanation for outsourcing Nevada's high-roller industry to China, as told to the Times of India a few years ago while Adelson was in Macau.
"Manpower here (in Macao) is cheap ... Tax rates in Macau are much higher than in Vegas, but we intend to balance that with the much cheaper manpower here."
See? If Nevadans would quit demanding to be paid so lavishly to clean Sheldon Adelson's eleventy-nine thousand Las Vegas toilets, our economy would rebound in no time!
Gleaner, Mr. Adelson is part of the RAT PAC, in our cartoon - Romneyhood the Musical.
