Tea Party Patriots Gloat As Eric Cantor Cashes In On Wall Street

After Dave Brat's upset victory in June, many analysts accused Eric Cantor of paying more attention to Wall Street than to the people of Virginia's 7th district. He certainly didn't waste any time validating that theory," Kevin Broughton, a spokesman for the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, said in a Tuesday statement.

Cantor, who was defeated by tea party-backed Dave Brat in a Republican primary election, is joining investment bank Moelis & Co. as vice chairman and managing director. He stands to earn $3.4 million in cash and stocks as a signing bonus, with $1.2 million guaranteed in just his first year. That's worth a lot more steaks than the $174,000 a year salary Cantor earned as a member of Congress.

This is not a partisan issue either, because both "teams" engage in revolving door fascism.
There are no less than 26 Goldman Sachs Bankers under Obama's "Team"

The only thing the Big Banks, Big Corporations and Government are serving is each other and thumbing their noses at the majority of Americans in this country.

There is a nice place in Hell reserved for these people.

Pols should be required to wear stickers on their clothes at all times showing the names of their top 10 donors.

Like Nascars.

The Big Corporations and Wall Street Banks own our government.
They tell everyone else you are on your own and have no political representation in DC.

You clearly need to learn the meaning of "fascism," because you are not using it correctly in this case.

fascism noun \ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\
: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government
: very harsh control or authority

1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2. : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge>

You are using the generic term where it is run solely by government. That is not what we have.
It is a merger of Big Corporations and Banks with Big Government.


Fascism USA - A Review of the Growing Loss of Democracy
- Where Big Corporations Have Become Our Government -

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."

Benito Mussolini, Fascist dictator of Italy

There are Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism as outlined in the article which apply strongly to this country:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
5. Rampant Sexism
6. Controlled Mass Media
7. Obsession with National Security
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
9. Corporate Power is Protected
10. Labor Power is Suppressed
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
14. Fraudulent Elections

The Corporate Banking Oligarchy want more power and freedom for themselves and less for everyone else at the government level. They do not want to work within the markets, but to own the markets.
Records amounts of campaign donations, out of control lobbying and a never ending revolving door between DC and Wall Street and Corporations attest to this fact.

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

Henry A. Wallace, 1944

"Generic term?" Seriously?

I posted the actual definition of the word.

Oh well, I suppose Ron White was right when he said "You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever."

[alphamale]

It's so unfair that only republicans do this.

[JoshGL]

What exactly is he supposed to do? Sit around on unemployment?

It does not get more in your face than this.

Dimon Pep Talk Consoles Eric Cantor on Way to Wall Street - Bloomberg

Republicans and Democrats have mocked Cantor’s ties to the banking industry. Robert Reich, a labor secretary for President Bill Clinton, wrote on his Facebook page that the new job shows Washington and Wall Street’s “entrenched culture of mutual behind-kissing.” David Stockman, a head of President Ronald Reagan’s Office of Management and Budget, said on his website that Cantor’s legislative support for big business made him a “bagman for Wall Street.”

Ted Cruz is another one.
Ted's wife is a managing director at Goldman Sachs.

“We’ve all enjoyed having Eric in the Congress,” Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn told Bloomberg Television the day after the primary defeat. “He was willing to try and create a coalition of believers, trying to create compromise, understanding that he couldn’t get everything.”

Is there really anything else that needs to be said?


As I said, the Big Corporations and Wall Street Banks in collusion with government exist in a circle jerk and the rest of the country and citizens do not matter to them. They want all policies and power tailored to benefit only themselves and destructive to everyone else.

Wow, just like Pelosi with her inside info.
