You're not likely to find conservatives or progressives in either the Republican OR Democratic party willing to vote against Wall Street.Thanks to the nearly $13 trillion worth of bailouts and loan guarantees provided to Wall Street (remember?) the richest 2% of Americans have nearly doubled their share of returns to wealth (interest, dividends, rents and capital gains) in less than one generation.Thank you for proving me right.
The left OBSESSES about other people's money. And they concoct conspiracy theories as to why that money really belongs to them, er I mean "the people."
They preach about "greed," while at the same time ranting about any money out there that isn't in THEIR greedy fingers.
This is not an accident.
It's class war, and you are too brainwashed by your political ideology to care.
Which makes you a slave.
Smite that.
I hate to break it to you but OBAMA VOTED FOR TARP.
Then he tripled down on that when he did the Stimulus.
You want to see how much of that went to bail out rich unions?????
Why are you whining at me. I wasn't for Tarp or the Stimulus.
I'm for FREE MARKETS. People keeping more of what they earn.
But HOW is RAISING TAXES going to fix the problems behind the bailouts???
That doesn't even make sense.
The answer to that is to put into office CONSERVATIVES against bailouts. You certainly aren't going to get that with Democrats. You want to look at the voting record of Democrats on both Tarp and the Stimulus?
Republicans AND Democrats in DC chose to borrow the money for the bailouts from rich individuals and corporations (and China) instead of taxing the rich individuals and corporations in this country.
That's because Republicans AND Democrats depend on the richest 1% of Americans to fund their campaigns, and the richest 1% of Americans depend on the stock market to fund their lifestyles.
