Rich get richer

Our current economic situation is an example of why greed is bad. Lots of rich people have and are profiting from this mess, which they mostly created, while the rest of us are going to be devastated, or worse. We’ve been hoodwinked. Greedy individuals have manipulated the economy into a situation in which everything around us can be purchased at a fraction of its value.

For one thought on who might have helped orchestrate this, read these two articles from July 2006 “Cheneys betting on bad news?” and from July 2007 “Is Dick Cheney Betting Against the Dollar?” which states:

“This should put to rest once and for all the foolish notion that the “Bush Economic Plan” is anything more than a scam aimed at looting the public till. The whole deal is intended to shift the nation’s wealth from one class to another. It’s also clear that Bush-Cheney couldn’t have carried this off without the tacit approval of the thieves at the Federal Reserve who engineered the low-interest rate boondoggle to put the American people to sleep while they picked their pockets.”

While we were afraid of being attacked by terrorists we were being raped by these dirty, nasty Republicans and they’re so confident in their scam that the raping continues with this “bailout”. Are the rich that caused this fiasco giving back all their ill-gotten gains? No. They’re essentially saying we, the people being raped, have to all scrounge for change so that we can buy these disgusting individuals new homes and cars, while ours are being taken from us. From all the deregulation to being the most secretive administration of all time, you should make no bones about this being caused and planned by Republicans and Bush Inc. They began the first term by having closed-door talks on energy policy with Enron, some of the greatest con-artists in a life-time, for which the records of the meetings have still not been released. Surprise! This is Enron x1000.

The sad part, though, is that no one cares. We’ve all become so manipulated by capitalism that we accept that any profit is good profit. Besides, most of us would be the same greedy bastards. Why no calls for accountability? Because we’re sedated by lies claiming action. Just like we were lied to about the war, we’re being lied to about the economy. Bush Inc reframed the argument for war on terror as a need to liberate Iraq instead of answering why and who caused 9/11 and fighting for accountability. And they are reframing this economic disaster as “bailout” instead of answering why and who caused this devastation and fighting for accountability. They’re not calling for accountability because they’re complicit in the devastation. There is simply no other reason. Anyone uninvolved in the destruction of so much should ask why and who. Anyone in power should ask why and who and act on the answers. If they don’t, it’s likely they are involved.
