I am tired of people who are too lazy to make something of themselves punishing those of us who work damn hard to get where we are.
I am also tired of people like you NEVER having facts to back up what you say. I am tired of the lack of education extreme liberal and conservative posters have on this board.
Then by all means, GO AWAY! You add nothing of any worth to any discussion anyway.
I am just too busy to be jerked around by a troll.
In case you missed it, there is a revolution brewing, one that stretches worldwide.
Athens is in a state of chaos today with firebombs flying.
It is the working people awakening and realizing who there real enemies are. No amount of spin doctoring on a thread is going to change that. The wealthy pushed things too far, and now no one can stop the backlash.
I must admit though, it is amusing to watch them squirm.
I believe a year from now protesters sleeping on the street will be the least of their worries.
LOL, there is no revolution brewing the OWS protesters are more of a punch line, than a force for change.
I can and have shown in multiple posts here exactly where Wall St bribed Washington, what legislation it lobbied for and what the effect of that legislation accomplished.
In fact, I can trace the entire cause of the economic bubble and subsequent crash to the relationship between Wall St. and Washington.
I can also show you the revolving door between Wall St. and influential Federal positions enjoyed by people like Geitner, Rubin, Paulson,Gutierrez, Shirzad, Summers, Patterson, Sachs, Zelikow, Gensler, Froman, Lew, Dudley, Bolten, Bolten, Robert Steel, Altman, Orszag, Gramm, Lubke, Emanuel, Daley, Kashkari, Friedman, Sutphen, Wolin, THE REVOLVING DOOR: 29 People Who Went From Wall Street To Washington To Wall Street
I will be happy to look at your list of union employees now holding high public office, and in the positions to make fiscal policy and law.
It is all about the money. Wall St is corrupt, and has gained near complete and total control of our government.
Perhaps you are happy with that, or somehow profit yourself from the situation.
I am not.
I can trace the entire mess to the CRA and Washington.
If you do not believe that the unions run this administration, you need look no further than the fact the Administration gave them 2 car companies.
"The SEIU spent $60 million to help elect Obama, according to the union. Stern said the group deployed 100,000 volunteers during the campaign, including 3,000 who worked on the election full time.
Now in the White House, Obama has continued to derive political benefits from the union. It was the SEIU's health chief, Dennis Rivera, who helped bring industry to the table to start talks on a healthcare overhaul.
With nearly 2 million members, the SEIU says it has people in 13 states whose senators are considered important targets in the lobbying effort behind the emerging Democratic healthcare bill. The union wants to coax those senators into voting for the bill.
Stern can boast that union officials are scattered throughout the Obama administration. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is a former executive at an SEIU local based in New York. No other union has placed anyone at such a high level in the White House."

Of course, The unions were given 2 car companies. Obamacare being a boon for abortion providers. Wal Mart, getting a big wet kiss from Durbin, Solyndra. The list goes on and on and on.............
On the way to work in downtown Boston this morning I passed, from the sign on the wheelchair, a disabled Veteran sleeping in a doorway under some blankets. I consider this to be an example of how our politics and economy have failed our people. In my ideal everyone has food, shelter, cloths and health care before anyone gets rich enough to live off their investments.
Veterans sleeping on the street while a chosen few party at the top is the great shame of our country. Allowing the gamblers to loot the socialized casino on Wall Street is the great crime of our country. Punishing the poor while adulating the thieves is an absurdity but we do it every day.
I want a system with a floor below which people cannot fall even if it prevents the swindlers from owning it all.

So how much money did you personally give that veteran when you stopped to help him?
"...it harms the individual and it harms society."
Rudy Giuliani just said this on air to Sean Hannity.
Everyone posting in this thread missed the import of Giuliani's comment. It was one of the rare occasions when he wasn't linking himself to the World Trade Center attack. (I didn't think such a thing was possible, but apparently the man is chock-full of surprises!)

That is where the left gets lost. Wealthy people aren't chosen, they are made. And they are made, for the most part, by themselves. The left really believes success is stolen, not earned.
