Bend Over AmeriKa

Are You Kidding Me?

What a stupid question that is when it comes to the largest welfare give-away in the history of the American republic. Welfare, socialism, communism, Marxism…whatever you want to tag it, this is the greatest rip-off since the theft of the American continent from the indigenous peoples.
Look up welfare and the freebies given the fat rats of Wall Street are the absolute epitome of welfare to the rich at the expense of the poor and diminishing middle-class. Here’s what the poor get; nothing but slashing of budgets on “entitlement” programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Isn’t it interesting feeding poor children or providing medical care to the elderly or treatment to war veterans is called entitlements but bailing out unethical and immoral financiers and politicians is called a “national emergency”?
The middle class gets the new opportunity to “finance” cars, schools and homes if they haven’t gotten in so deep their home’s equity is less than the loans already taken out. So, that means if you still haven’t learned; you can run up your personal debt even further. And it means the younger generation will get the same great deals as their elders to run themselves into the credit nightmare.
Now the poor bastard CEO’s of Wall Street responsible for the crash lose their “golden parachutes” but get to keep their jobs as an apparent reward for incompetence and greed at the very worst. Of course, before all this started you can bet your first born the fat rats of the Street “got theirs”. When the good ship Titanic Wall Street started sinking the captains and their mates jumped on life boats to faraway off shore accounts that can never be traced or touched by American legal authorities.
The golden parachutes are nothing compared to the golden cow of the USA tax payers. We have once again allowed the rich bastards to bend us over and impale us, folks. Ralph Nader said it the other night, “it will never stop until there’s a tax payer revolt”. And I’m not a Nader fan even though his logic and political smarts is very much what I believe.
Americans are being fed a huge pile of bull shit about saving the economy with this welfare for the rich bailout that will ultimately far exceed 700 billion dollars. This is the socialized form of government that the very same people have always railed against to protect their “free market” strategies. Well, we have found out the free market means the Monopoly money will be returned to the bank with a Get Out of Jail Free card. And the rat bastards of Wall Street get the yacht and sports car for their playing pieces while the American public gets the shaft as their playing piece. Welcome to Bradley Board Games for the Rich and Entitled.
If you want to know who won the last debate, you better look to Congress, the Executive Branch and the pathetic judicial that resembles a freshly neutered eunuch. Do I sound angry? If you’re not angry you’re not paying attention! O’Mama and McSwine are sharing credit for picking your pockets, stealing your dog and taking your most prized possessions. They have definitely shown the chops to be Presidential material.
Americans will allow the rats of Congress and Wall Street to sell their slight of hand deal by expounding on Adam Smith and all the other heavyweight economists that try to make science out of robbery. Find the cup with the pea under it and win the prize, they say. Or hit three baskets and get a stuffed animal. Don’t mind the shrunken rims or the fixed cups, America. Wall Street is your friend. What is it they create for us, again?
If I had a choice between being robbed on the streets of Denver by a gunman and bending over for Wall Street, I’d choose the gunman. At least he’s working for it and needs it more. I’d just throw up my hands and let him have my credit cards and the green Monopoly money in my wallet. The cards are maxed and the green barely buys my morning coffee. Help yourself, my friend. Just promise you’ll never play the market and cross over to the “dark side”.
Oh, yeah, I know any argument about this bailout is supposed to include all the facts and details based on science, religion, politics and insanity but damn, people, does it take a rocket scientist to figure out what a scam and sham this bailout is!? Do you need to know the tedious bullshit frothing from the mouths of the lying sacks to understand you just got screwed by the rich fat rats again? And once again they weren’t wearing protection.
First they gave you the lies of WMD’s and yellowcake and sent your kids off to die and kill. Then they told you, “oops, oh well, while we’re here maybe we should stay and help destroy the rest of Iraq and look at Afghanistan and Iran, too” All that while they sold you off to China and the Saudis. Your debt belongs to them. Welcome to the great “Amerikan Scheme”. Welcome to the Fantasy Island of rich schemers and lying bastards who would have you believe you live in the “free world” but forget to clarify that they mean a world free of peace, justice, accountability and shame.
