Since there was a thread last week about whether or not people like O'Reilly look out for the little guy versus big corporations, I thought I would post a link to his Talking Points on Cap and Trade and ask whether this angle has been covered by the media that is supposedly looking out for the little guy. Also, has the party that is supposedly standing up for the working man had anyone ask questions like this?
"Now, less gunk in the air is good. A cleaner planet means better health for all of us. But already, India, China, Mexico and other countries have told President Obama they will not limit emissions. They don't really care about global warming. So even if we cap-and-trade all day long, the Earth will continue to be dirty."
"Goldman Sachs is a goliath investment company that pays very little tax. In fact, last year in the teeth of the recession, Goldman made more than $2 billion in profit and, according to the Associated Press, paid its CEO Lloyd Blankfein about $43 million. Let me repeat: Old Lloyd made $43 million bucks in 2008. But Goldman Sachs paid zero in federal income tax. Let me repeat: Goldman made $2 billion and paid nothing in federal tax.
A quick aside: President Obama and the Democrats want to raise taxes on high-earning Americans to pay for health care. But Goldman-Sachs gets a pass.
Back to cap-and-trade. Goldman owns a 10 percent stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange, where the cap-and-trade deals will be made. On each deal a commission will be paid. Goldman Sachs stands to vacuum up money. Did I mention the company pays very little tax?
Also, Goldman employees gave President Obama's campaign close to $1 million. Did I mention that?
Ready for more? Guess who has also invested heavily in cap-and-trade? Hello, Al Gore. He's started a company named Generation Investment Management, which will also profit big time if the cap-and-trade deal becomes law. Since Al Gore launched his global warming crusade, his net worth has increased 5,000 percent to more than $100 million, according to Investors Business Daily. As they say on Wall Street, Mr. Gore is hot. Pardon the pun.
So let's recap. Global warming is bad, but cap-and-trade will not affect it much because China and India will continue to pollute. Big corporations like Goldman Sachs and big guys like Al Gore could make many millions of dollars off cap-and-trade, while the regular folks will pay more for just about everything."

The only one looking out of the little guy is the little guy.
The illusion that the little guys is some how being protected by the government is a lie.
Last time I checked the little guy is still little has been for a very long time.
But if little guys stop giving power to the government to tax the little guy or anyone else, the little guy might actually move ahead.

unfortunately too many little guys are insecure and need to be helped by the Government. they do not believe in themselves so they put power in Governments hands and then they do not have to make a decision the government will do it for them.

Do you think the .gov fosters that insecurity, in order to gain power?
O'Reilly is no neocon when it comes to corporate America. He is constantly bashing the oil companies.
You are correct. He bashes all sorts of companies, especially when the little guy is trampled on. That's how I know that liberals are merely towing the line when they bash O'Reilly. If they actually took the time to listen to him from time to time, they'd see that he's actually more in the center than the Bible (ie. Huffington Post) tells them he is.
It sure is quiet in here. Wonder where the Cap and Trade liberals are today?
They should come marching in a few minutes after Olbermann's had a chance to spew his nonsense.
O'Reilly makes way too much sense sometimes. He's hit the nail right on the head with this.
If you want the liberal loonies in here then just change the title to "Obama bashes the little guy..."
Then look out for all of his defenders stumbling over each other to lash out at everyone for bringing the Messiah into this.
