9. It was just an expression
Edited on Thu Apr-14-11 09:08 AM by howaboutme
......just like "life is a bitch". How many times have we seen politicians and the media diverting attention from the real issue (that may negatively affect their cohorts) to the small stuff?

Taibbi is one of the few in the media who have the guts and chutzpah to even attempt to stir up the huddled masses against the financial elite such as Goldman that own this country and our politicians. It can not only be bad for careers, but downright dangerous. (RIP George Carlin) Nobody but nobody in the media is mentioning the banksters and the travesty that put us in this situation. That should be the question we ask our politicians and the media. Why do these guys (and girls) get immunity from public and press attention?

Was "Inside Job" the only token expose to be given public attention by the PTB?

The Tea Party needs to look at trade, unfair taxes where a wage earner pays more as a percent of taxes than a billionaire, our wars, why we have a war on terror, corruption by the rich, the harm that the bankers and Wall Street actually do, the Fed, etc ---- but they've been hijacked too. For a start we need to demand a return to the tax rates of the 50s when this country was powerful and we accomplished things, instead of a nation that is run not for Americans but for globalists, international bankers and corporations and a caste of elite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acLW1vFO-2Q
