TEA PARTY Wall Street Sellout
As I watch the Tea Partiers it is obvious that they believe in conspiracies of all types, like Obama is a Muslim terrorist sent to infiltrate our government at the highest levels. Or that he is a socialist trying to convert our country to socialism. How about taking our guns away so we cannot defend ourselves and families! Though these would be great threats to worry about if they were true, the real conspiracies have been going on unnoticed right under their nose! In fact the Tea Partiers have been complicit in the biggest conspiracy of all; they have been standing arm in arm with the Republican Party obstructionists who have conspired with Wall Street and Corporate America to squash financial reform. The fat cats on Wall Street have continued with their risky bank swap derivatives and ridiculously huge bonuses that drained our economy while producing no tangible goods and caused the financial crisis that caused millions of Americans to loose their jobs, houses and pensions, yet the republicans continue to filibuster so reform cannot even be debated. Talk about conspiracy! If the Tea Partiers are interested in the granddaddy of all conspiracies this is the one for them.
The banking industry and their co-conspirators, Corporate America have no problem sending American jobs overseas where they will sell dangerous and inferior goods back to an unsuspecting American public all in the name of profit.
There are only two kinds of businesses in the world, the ones that produce goods or services and sell them to others around the world driving capitol to the regions that produce them and those who sell goods around the world and drive capitol back to the manufacturing regions. The Chinese and Indians no this all too well as they sell us poisonous baby food and pet food, defective drywall, toxic painted toys and inferior products, yet we Americans seem to have forgotten it.
We have become a service based economy where I sell you a hamburger at Mc Donald’s and I use my pay to by things at Wal-Mart where they underpay their people and discriminate against their female employees so they can sell us those low priced defective foreign products. An economy that does not produce saleable goods cannot be sustained and will eventually collapse! The current recession is just the first of a long line of declines this country will suffer if we do not do something about the loss of good paying manufacturing jobs to other countries.
In order to continue with spending beyond our means, so we could continue our bloated lifestyles, we have mortgaged our homes and run up our credit card debt while the banks drained our accounts and portfolios with Fees, overdraft charges, ARM mortgages and investments they tailored to fail, all the while they were betting against us by shorting the junk they were selling us!
Wake up Tea Partiers you are complicit in the criminal acts of the very same banks and corporations who are funding your efforts. By continuing to support the republicans who would derail the economic progress being made in this country you are aiding and abetting the very same criminals who pilfered the coffers.
