Stop bailing out the bloody bastard rich with my tax money.
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008I’m sick and tired of the bloody bailout of the rich by our tax dollars. These same sons-of-bitches that have been ripping us off for decades are now begging for more money from the government to bail themselves out. And bail is what they will do - off to their off-shore mansions with their pockets full of our money. As they themselves love to say when they are raping us blind, “let the free market decide”. Nobody’s bailing out my small business when we’re struggling to barely pay our bills. Why the hell should we bail out these thieves? God forbid the government give back some of our own tax money to help education, healthcare, etc. If that happens, everyone starts screaming “Socialism”. But it’s A-OK to give TRILLIONS to corporations as corporate welfare. Sorry folks, this is pure Marxism and Fascism. When Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez started nationalizing his counrty’s oil, we were yelling “Communism”. Now our own government is buying out banks and effectively nationalizing them, but no one is screaming “Communism”. And then they continue to tell us their big lies - “If such and such company collapses, there will be thousands of jobs lost.” As if they don’t go laying off people ANYWAY when they do get the fat checks. I have yet to see ONE CEO come out and say, “Hey, you know, times are bad and I’m gonna take a $200 million/year pay cut so that we can keep a thousand employees.” Instead, they want to be bailed out so that they can continue collecting their fat checks and cashing in on their stock options and MOVING OUT OF THE COUNTRY to their villas in Dubai. Let the giants crash and fall. Let the free market decide. I believe the following George Carlin video summarizes my sentiments best:
