RW Joe "Pags" Pagriarulo: "Economy is only bad for 6% of Americans who don't pay mortgage on time."

[Leopolds Ghost]

"The Economy is just fine for the rest of us.
Obama wants to raise taxes on the rest of us to bail out the 6% of Americans
who can't pay their mortgages"

-- Larry King Live, just now.

Also, a guy on CNBC two days ago angrily attacked both candidates, but chiefly
Obama, for advocating tax relief or any kind of stimulus for the bottom 95%, saying:

"All these plans to give any additional bailout to people who are making less than
$200,000 a year amount to a welfare check for people who don't pay taxes anyway.
Poor people don't pay taxes. That money shouldn't be sent out as a welfare check,
it should be spent -- the $700 billion and more needs to be spent on the people who
are driving this economy, not on people who don't deserve it."

This was a regular Wall St. stock analyst on CNBC.

1. Joe 'Pags" is a fucking idiot

the guy's on WOAI San Antonio and KTRH ( I think ) Houston. His mouth runs faster than his brain could ever keep up. He makes the most ungodly stupid comments and actually believes them.

THis guy is stupider than Palin.

5. Pags (mob name?) just said that if HE was wrong 40% of the time he'd be fired

In reference to ACORN.

Jonah Goldberg and a number of other commentators have said, including this edition of Larry King,
that "ACORN is a well-established radical left-wing organization that is in favor of welfare rights
for inner city blacks."

6. On the other hand, the nat'l director of ACORN, on Larry King just now, defended Voter ID

Saying that so-called voter fraud was a non-issue because "these people will have to show up, and they'll have to show ID!" (BIG GRIN)

To be fair, those folks in New Orleans are ANTI-civil libertarian. I have never been in such a bananna republic before as you have down there. They have seemingly NO concept of civil liberties in the Deep South. No wonder ACORN supports Voter ID (but won't bring the hammer down on registration fraud that is creating a GOP excuse for election fraud.)

In places like Lake County and New Orleans, fraud is OK but walking on the street without photo ID is LITERALLY a jailable offense.

Oh, and the reporter (notice Larry King obsessing over Ayers, ACORN and other vaguely racist stories? which producer or executive insisted on this?) made the following statement:

"To be fair, what we're talking about is registration fraud, not voter fraud, Larry. It doesn't become voter fraud until those people actually show up to vote."

In other words, any ACTUAL voters registered by ACORN can be fairly suppressed and thrown out according to media logic.

9. "Pags" is too fucking stupid to be in the mob

they have much higher standards.

2. Are you sure this analyst on CNBC wasn't Steve Forbes?

I saw Steve Forbes on CNBC say the same thing.

[Leopolds Ghost]

3. No, this guy wasn't even opinion. He was one of their regular market correspondents/anchors/expert.

They all believe $200,000 is the minimum to be considered middle class anyway.

Interesting how over half of all white American believes that poor and/or black people are
undeserving of welfare but that, when it comes to the rich, $700 BILLION is not
enough, and are willing to expressly make that distinction between "deserving"
capital markets and the "undeserving" poor. Including MANY FUCKING DEMOCRATS
who continue to attack WELFARE and distance themselves from ACORN.

7. Let us review the Republican mindset::

"Tax Money for someone other than middle class to rich white guys like me = SOCIALISM!".

"Tax Money to bail out corporations and the wealthy that I'll be running and part of someday = fiscal responsibility"

Everyone got that? Good. Find your nearest Republican and kick him/her dead in the ass.

[Leopolds Ghost]

8. Except you forgot "you're only middle class if you make as much as me."

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. So anyone making less that $200,000 are welfare recipients?

Making $200k=poor people who don't pay taxes?


Those who drive the economy ARE the working class, most of whom do not make anywhere near $200k. And they DO PAY TAXES!


He just insulted a whole lot of people, including rank and file republicans.
