The Truth About Politicians And The Wealthy.

If you ask me, I think there's a conspiracy going on here. I mean look at the fact that we can't increase taxes on the rich or even the super rich. In fact we can't even step back to the Clinton era tax rates when we were enjoying a surplus. So who was and is to blame for that? The Republicans, that's who. Now, along comes Timothy Geithner, President Obama's man at the head of the Treasury Department. He's from
Wall Street. He has decided that  there's no reason for oversight of a $4 trillion a day derivatives business. You know, the kind of business that caused the financial disaster that led to the Great Recession. It's not as risky as some other markets, says Mr Geithner. Not as risky as some other markets? What does he describe as risky? If somebody walks into a market with a gun, is that risky enough? These people don't use a gun, they use a calculator and a computer. So who's to blame for this? It would appear that the Democrats are. This confirms my suspision that you can't trust a Republican, but you can't trust a Democrat, but you can't trust an independent either. About the only thing or people you can trust, is that rich people will find a way to buy a politician and get even richer. Heck, the reason you can trust rich people to buy politicians is that they've been doing it for years. Why do you think so many jokes are told about it? Here's one for you; A rich guy walks into a bar and meets a politician, the politician says "not in here, let's go out back". Oh! Wait! That's a true story.
