You really don't know that Dirty Harry had a standing threat of filibuster for anything he didn't like and he had enough people to get it done, do you?

Are you saying that old Spooky Dude is pulling the Dem strings? We certainly agree on that one.

The financial crisis was not precipitated by the lack of "banking regulations". It was precipitated by the accumulation of "toxic mortgage" backed assets.

These "toxic mortgages" were caused by the federal mandate (by the dems) through Fannie and Freddie to provide home loans to unqualified borrowers. Bush tried to stop this practice in 2005, but was derailed by the dems.

Financial crisis- thank you idiotic liberal meddling in markets. This imbecilic policy nearly resulted in the financial destruction of the republic. To embrace the same foolish policies of liberalism would be "fooled twice". In November, the nation will show that it has learned about liberalism.

and to Goldman Sachs, $2.6 billion in tax cuts.

When you analyze that, you know what is happening is the same old Bush policies of advantaging the wealthy at the expense of the middle income working people and tax cuts which did not, as they were advertised to, grow the economy and grow jobs. In fact, they did just the opposite."

"This is almost five times bigger than Bush tax cuts were." "It really represents a doubling down on Bush's economic agenda. Where he skewed his tax policy heavily to the rich, this would skew it even further even to the exclusion of the middle class.
You don't even know what you are saying. Ok, assume we are all go for taxing so call "rich" people who income is 250k+. So you are saying, just because the poor make less, we have to level the field by allowing government to take more? I just don't get this mentality.

Why not go the opposite direction. If you are thinking tax cut for the "rich" is unfair, then demand tax cut for the poor and middle class as well. I am a middle class, and I just don't see how I will be better off if the "rich" just get tax more. However, if my tax is down 10 to 15%, that is like a 20% increase in salary without my employer giving me a raise.

Increasing tax is not a solution. The government don't care how they spend the money. If the money is in our pocket then we will spend on thing we want and need or save it for the futures.

Liberal arrogance.

Perhaps, just perhaps, people are more intelligent than you give them credit for and that this intelligence will be reflected in the voting booth in November.

Something about grossly failed economic policies certainly alters the public perception of a political party and its philosophy. Too bad that Obama, rather than being an arrogant elitist, did not jettison his socialist views and alter this failed economic course. A wise man would reconsider in the face of failure. A fool, on the other hand...........................
