liberals always want to tax the rich, and while it seems good on the surface, it is in reality a bad idea because the rich DONT PAY TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!!! they find a way to get others to pay the taxes for them by raising prices, putting money away where the government cant get to it, or cutting the workforce. it is the same thing with corporations, they pass the costs along to everyone else. the rich work to earn evey thing they have, and they are going to protect their assets as best they can.
i agree with getting rid of the lobbyists though, that has truly been a disaster for the country.
Did any of you catch the story on how the Republicans are quietly working to repeal the puny, anemic Wall Street reform bill???
Feign outrage much? Why aren't you posting about how many Goldman Sachs people Obama has on his cabinet? How many run the FED? Didn't that new Chief of Staff of Obama's, you know, the Chicago mayor's brother, come from J.P. Morgan? Where is your outrage on that?
sure, I believe that, the teabaggers and GOP "protecting" the less fortunate. Florida Gov. Rick Scott orders immediate 15% cuts to programs for disabled
"The state can cut my rates by 15 percent, but I can't cut my staffing 15 percent or I'll be in violation of staffing ratios," Wright added. "This may break our backs."

under a Representative Republic, which is what we have.. the majority protects the minority.
Wall Street didn't cause the financial meltdown. Misguided, wrong-headed, do-good, Washington politicians did.
One of the most deranged ideas I've ever heard... The politicians are nothing but paid for puppets and/or fellow Wall Street Execs working that revolving door.

I'm with ya! Outraged about all of it... It goes back three to four political generations....
As well as a few politicians (red and blues) and we might have a chance of turning this country back to a true democracy... Otherwise, the plutocracy / corporate fascism lives on and we become a third world nation.
What is a "bankster"? Is that an adult term?
You are free to do business with any company you choose, no one is forcing you to consume the products/services of a business you do not like. As a taxpayer, on the other hand I have NO CHOICE regarding public union services.
