Interesting, it shows how bad the corruption in our government has become when the one's standing up against Ceo's and wall street is the republican party and perhaps the only reason they are doing so is because they are not receiving there money. This is just incredibly sad

The bill was originally proposed by Dems and filibustered by Republicans. The Republicans are picking it up now to punish Wall St Banks for siding with Democrats when the tea baggers wanted to crash the economy by making the US default.

Yet, your party is servicing and protecting the same types of people you accuse the "TEA party" of being owned by. Why don't you cut your nose off to spite your face while you are at it?

Wow, Democrat voters are stupid

What don't you get from the video I posted both sides are bought and paid for and the only reason the republicans are even considering this is just to threaten Wall St. As the above poster stated this was originally a bill from an ACTUAL progressive democrat which btw is also stated in the video that the republicans shot down.

When did I say the Dems were perfect and good at everything? I just feel they're the lesser of two evils and if you check my posts (even in the last two days) you'll find several where I've called for outlawing ANY money from anyone going to politicians. That's the root of this corruption so define giving even $0.01 to a politicians as bribery subject to execution for all parties as well as forfeiture of all assets for all persons/groups/companies/what ever involved.

Gee, don't you feel dumb now? You wrongly ASSumed what my position was instead of asking or even just bothering to read a position which I've posted dozens of times here.
