The following 1 percent wonders are doing just fine under Obama, but since their worldview is largely restricted to an obsession with their marginal tax rate, they can’t refrain from denouncing the president and thinking of new ways to thwart his re-election bid. The Romney men desperately want to see the first financier president, a man after their own cold hearts.

Romney's Six Billionaires: This Is What Plutocracy Looks Like
Quote:
The Plutocrats have their “Dream Team.” For them, its “Romney/Ryan 2012” …because a cult following, greed-centered, puppet and a zombie-eyed granny-starver is what they think they need to dismantle the social contract and permanently hobble the uppity serfs.

Despite the fact that corporate profits are at record levels and the feds have not put a single bankster in jail for their crimes and Obama is the best Republican President we’ve had since Eisenhower, the banksters have abandoned him for the Republican Fascist ticket… clearly choosing complete domination of the working class over subtle subjugation.

Romney/Ryan 2012: Plutocracy's Dream Team For The New Gilded Age | Republican Dirty Tricks

I've said it before and I'll say it again...there are people in the USA that are not members of the Plutocracy, but average citizens that feel all secure, warm and fuzzy to have Plutocrats dictate the rules and run government.

It is funny how people keep bringing up a plutocracy with Romney, but ignore that Obama and union leaders actually taking government control of a private corporation, and have been running the country into the ground. Yep Romney and his friends are who we have to worry about.

This is essentially what every race has come down to. Class warfare from the Left. From the small city elections all they way up to the top, it's all about labeling the candidate on the Right as someone who is only looking out for millionaires.

Pretty simple solution, you just need to become a plutocrat..! Those people you are so jealous of did it, so can you. They didn't do it by sitting on their butts complaining how unfair life is because someone else has better stuff..

A label which is very appropriate. Romney and repubs are doing just that.

What corporation was taken over and controlled by government? If you can't supply info, then that means you got nothing...

You mean like Romney who was wealthy the day he was born?
Are you new to this country? Did you know that plutocracy is un-American and attempting to destroy democracy in favor of plutocracy is treason?

Obama and the union reorganized the board at General Motors, the US president appointing a board of directors at a company is basically taking that company over especially when the government buys 61%.

AS for calling the republicans a plutocracy, it is funny you call Romney and the republicans a plutocracy when Obama has plenty of ties to both communists and the wealthy.

Two typically vacuous falsehoods. How desperate the Right is becoming.

Strange, I can't find anything about Obama's buddy Jon Corzine in the list. Mr. $1.6B disappeared under my watch, but I'm not going to be put in jail because I'm a huge campaign bundler that has brought in almost $1M for the campaign.

What about other Obama Billionaire supporters like that are all billionaire investors:

George Soros who is clearly a bad person because he makes most of his money from capital gains and probably pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.

Which brings me to Warren Buffet who...well just see above. And besides that, isn't this the same guy crying that nobody pays enough taxes, but the government has been tied up in litigation for years trying to get him to pay back taxes that he is trying to get out of?

Then you have Marc Lasry, a hedge fund manager worth over a billion dollars that also pays a really low tax rate I'm sure, and again he has to be bad right because he is a Wall St. hedge fund manager.

Tom Steyer...another hedge fund manager worth a few billion with a low tax rate that also happens to spend his spare time trying to manipulate California's tax laws to benefit his personal investments in the green industry.

I have such a hard time following the narrative here...billionaires that pay low tax rates and donate to Republicans are evil horrible people, but billionaires that pay low tax rates and donate to Democrats only care about their fellow man and can do no wrong? Is that how it works?
