The game is rigged for the Wall Streeters to win every time. Obama doesn't give a fuck about us any more than Bush did. Or maybe he does but he's helpless to help us. No one is ever going to stop this bullshit. This is who the government works for. These are their bosses. Watch as Merrill Lynch asshole CEO Don Regan bullies President Reagan in this clip from Michael Moore's Capitalism documentary.

This is who really runs the government. Nothing at all has changed since. Unless there is some kind of major revolution, and there won't be, this game is over.
