We should be taxing the hell out of the Wall Street banksters...

[Octafish]

...and all the rich sons of bitches they work for.



Instead, the richest of the rich are the ones who get bailed out with trillions from The Fed.

Of course, they also happen to belong to the very same class that has benefited most from 30-years of Trickle Down fiscal policy.

And they're the ones hoarding their mountains of cash in Switzerland and other locations offshore.

No. It's not the old and infirm and the poor who should be shouldering the "debt crisis."

It's way past time for the rich to pay their fair share.

Anything else, is un-democratic and un-American.

1. HELL YES -- K&R 100000000! n/t

[Octafish]

16. They should pay, as they're the ones who've made off with the Treasury.

Thanks to their, eh, associates in govmint, it was all legal-like.

2. Yes, yes, yes

as a New Yorker, AND the grand-daughter of a Wall Street Broker.

17. Many good people work on Wall Street...

...Tha majority are people of integrity, I believe.

Thanks to them and thank you and your family, HockeyMom.

3. They add no value and take an assload of money out of circulation.

Tax the mf'ers.

[woo me with science]

6. That seems to be exactly how they feel about Social Security recipients. nt

10. Here's a cool pic of a billboard near my office.

It's on both signs of an absolutely massive billboard that's visible from I-90 on the NW side of Chicago.
Kinda cuts through the bullshit, eh?

Thanks for posting that. :)

19. Offshoring

Lucy Kommisar has chronicled the phenomenon. And govmint is "powerless" to stop them -- the rich, that is.

[Aerows]

4. Of course we should

And that's why you know we are sliding into aristocracy because we CAN'T.

When we can't even tax the rich, we are fucked.

[Octafish]

20. Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.

The rest of you, get off my lawn. Or, I'm calling the police. (And that was 2009.)

5. HOW ABOUT PRISON

THEY HAVE DONE INCREDIBLE HARM TO AMERICA.... JUST GET THOSE SHECKELS YOU BUMS

8. Thank you.

Now we just need representatives who will actually represent this conclusion.

9. $14 trillion bankster bailout, thnx to Bush and Candidate Obama; now private debt is public debt

[Cleita]

11. Octafish speaks the truth again.

:kick:

[fivepennies]

12. I'd be happier

if we put them all on a leaky slow boat to China. That's just as likely to happen as legislators dragging themselves out of the lobbiests comfy beds to play fair with us.

[Initech]

13. Wall St. is the biggest mistake that has ever happened to the world.

And I say this without any use of hyperbole whatsoever.

[Waiting For Everyman]

18. Yep, and it should be done before ANY cuts.

Otherwise the debt hawks aren't serious.
