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.
Hank Paulson didn't want bank regulation... Goldman Sachs was making money...
You use a link I already posted to justify your claims? Massive fail.
What part of the actual bill confirms your ill informed assertion that the intent of Republicans is to cut taxes on the rich to 0%?
At this point it seems quite clear (as if it wasn't already based on your endless procession of inaccurate partisan threads) that you have no actual facts to back up your claims.
Carry on with the great work. You've done a far better job of confirming yourself as a partisan hack than any of your detractors in these threads ever could.

None of what you quoted confirms a 0% tax on the wealthy.
As far as your claim that I'm blindly supporting a party guess again. I'm a Libertarian and have only slightly more use for Republicans than I do for Democrats. In my opinion both major parties are bringing the US down but the Democrats have definitely chosen the express lane to bring about our downfall.
