How come there is no money for health care or getting renewable energy done, but there is a ton of money for this all the sudden?
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say it's almost like they are setting the stage so that once Obama won, he can't have any money to do universal health care and renewable power. They should pay for this by repelling all of George Bushes tax cuts to the wealthiest 10,000 people in america.
Privatize the wealth but make the public pay the bill when the bets don't pay off? Fuck this shit. The rich that benefited from the deregulation that led to the mess should pay. There should be riots in the streets.
And idiot americans are going to be glued to their TV's, with their brains working the same way they work watching the Brady bunch, while Joe Biden tries not to look smarter then Sarah Palin and thus appear an asshole to the Voting on American Idol part of Americans Brains, while John McCains people play the game of trying to get enough idiots to vote against their economic interests on the basis of identity politics.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agosigh how i wish what I'm about to say was common knowledge. the rich didn't benefit from deregulation, they benefit from regulation as the current bail out plan is just the latest in a long series of capitulations to the established pecking order at the expense of a truly free market (free competition). The established players don't like capitalism, because capitalism allows for large shifts in wealth.
- ajkirwin 18y agoWrong. No regulation OR good regulation is bad for them. They benefit from PARTIAL regulation. And regulation, much like circumcision, is as Robin Williams said. "You go all the way, or just forget it!"
- pchristensen 18y agoRegulation isn't inherently good or evil. There are good and bad regulations. Hopefully we could get less BAD regulation and more GOOD regulation. Not holding my breath. Also, what is good for one group may be bad for another, and vice versa. Good luck figuring that one out.
