Fight Back!

I am so angry I want to give all but 139 members of congress the finger and piss in their eyes. The Republicans buried in the budget bill passed by the house enough poison pills to place our economy in grave peril. One poison pill allows corporations to avoid still more taxes through overseas investments; another increases the power of money by raising the limits on how much a person or company can contribute to a political candidate's campaign. By far the most dangerous and egregious of the poison pills, however, is the one written by Citibank. This poison pill threatens our economy by forcing the FDIC to insure derivatives. What this means is that the same banks that crashed our economy under Bush can reap all the benefits of taking the same risks they took back then, and when those investments go sour, as they did under Bush, we will have to bail them out again! This is the Republican Party's recycling plan; we are forced to eat shit while the oligopoly feasts on anything and everything of any value. The only reason why I cannot call those poison pills class warfare is because no one is fighting back. President Obama and the other Democratic appeasers simply do not have the will or courage to defend a middle-class (mainly white) that is too stupid to recognize and oppose its enemy. This does not portend well for the future.  Is there anyone who can and will prevent the middle-class from going the way of the Dodo Bird?

Thus far, I have viewed Elizabeth Warren as a wonderful and valuable gadfly. But the weakness of the Democrats and the unconscionable efforts of the Republicans to satiate an oligopoly that is insatiably greedy have made me change my view of Ms Warren.  The middle ground has become quick sand.  I am now on the Warren for President band wagon.

WE DESPERATELY NEED AN ECONOMIC WARRIOR WHO WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT US FROM THE INSATIABLE GREED OF THE OLIGOPOLY! GO ELIZABETH!
