^^^^ That's the problem. Idiots who believe the bullshit instead of using logic to understand what people they disagree with are saying. The TEA Parties do not believe the poor are to blame. They believe (and they are right) that the fucking government is responsible. Hence, they protest the government.
Moron.
how fucking stupid. the government is to blame for everything. how about you. how about your consumer behavior. how about the corporations you bow down to, that are in collusion with teh government you hate so much. The tea party scope is far too narrow and incorporates no personal responsibility whatsoever. at least those at OWS are withdrawing their money from these big banks.
Hey that's a good idea -- withdrawing from the big banks. But guess what? It is EXACTLY GOVT policy that is CAUSING consolidation in banking. Goobling up smaller community banks that can't cope with the onslaught of nannifying regulation.. Demand MORE regulation and BIGGER GOVT with the ability to pick winners/losers and watch your ECONOMIC FREEDOM to make statements like that one simply vanish..
No one "bows down" to corporations. They exist to serve customers. If they don't do that -- they are history.
Who are YOU more afraid of? Pillsbury dough boy or the IRS? Who protects consumers better? Underwriter Labs (UL) or the CPSC? You better realize that ALL of your economic options and choice are under assault by a GOVT that not's concentrating on the basics like education, borders, ending wars, assuring fraud-free voting, and fixing EXISTING entitlements. THey're out playing high roller with taxpayer money in the marketplace.
Have you seriously failed to realize that the government is not separate from the largest of corporations and the captains of industry? That there is a revolving door between CEO's and positions in our executive cabinets and lobbyists, for example, among many other positions? Eg... the CEO of Monsanto now being the head of the EPA... that is a rather comical one. How about the most famous example of Dick Cheney having been the CEO of Halliburton and then becoming the VP and handing out enormous no-bid cost-plus military contracts for the war in Iraq for which they did a terrible job, incidentally, and killed American troops... , or Hank Paulson having been at the top of Goldman Sachs, who are very responsible for the economic collapse and then being appointed Head of the Treasury after the collapse, appointed to fix the mess he helped create??? The reality is terrifying unless you blind yourself to it, which, it seems you have done. How sad. You seem rather intelligent.
