America throws a temper tantrum
Thanks to the internet we can now rattle our so call ‘representatives’ in DC. And we have.
It is not just the bailout that is grating on the US population. It is yet another, dark of the night, planned in advance, power grabbing, must pass now or die bill before Congress.
We’ve seen them before.
There was the ‘Patriot Act’ which essentially allows the government unlimited spying and powers of detention on whom ever they choose. ‘Bill of Rights’ you say? It seems to have been written out of existence by the ‘Patriot Act’.
There was also the $600b rush to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. For $600 billion you’d think they could have at least found one lousy WMD. I would’ve settled for BinLaden.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times buddy and you had better start finding new employment.
We have had enough of politicians bought and paid for by corporations that act in the corporations interest, not ours.
We’re having a problem with CEOs that collect multimillion dollar bonuses while they run companies into the ground.
We are fed up with companies that move the best paying jobs over seas and put their company finances in banks outside the US to avoid US taxes. We’ve had enough.
American is slowly waking to the credit hangover of all credit hangovers. Perhaps it’s time to buck up and just live with in our means?
Yes, there will be hell to pay for ‘Just saying No’, but there would have been hell to pay anyhow. We may as well take a few CEOs and politicians down with us.
The vote fell through, the dollar went up, oil and the market went down. But we all know the market will come back up. A stronger dollar and cheaper oil? How is that bad for the guy on Main St?
If this is such a good deal for the American public, then why the scare tactics and why the rush?
It is time to take America back from Corporations and put it back in the hands of Americans.
