Tea-baggers hold praise-serfdom rally. Swear fealty to Corporate over-lords
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 04:29 PM by JohnWxy
Tea-partiers enthusiastically regurgitated GOP propaganda, chanting for the good ol' days of Republican vapor Government where corporations write the legislation and thwart the regulation. While we still suffer through the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression - the DEREGULATION DISASTER, created by GOP policies of legislative deregulation (Commodities Futures Modernization Act - which made trading in Credit Default Swaps legal AND UNREGULATED, and legalized electronic trading in energy futures, the 'Enron Loophole') and defacto deregulation (fighting and stopping, 50 states attorneys General who tried to rein in predatory lenders - in 2004), and trasnferring the tax-burden to the middle class to the benefit of the corporations and super wealthy (50% of Bush tax cuts went to the top 10% in income)... Tea-baggers sang the praises of being serfs to corporate boards of directors and their GOP lobbyists in Washington.


How anxious are they to "assume the postiion" for the Corporations and their GOP lobbyists. Guess they feel confused and anxious when they're not getting it in the rear from the good ol' GOP.

2. It will go down in history as among one of the greatest propaganda stunts in
this era, getting Tea-baggers to so wholeheartedly support those that gave and will give them the least. It's the mixing of unsavory politics and agendas with anesthesia.

3. A very reactionary blog I watch wants the US to Devolve to India
with people living, defecating and dying on the streets. And the Kleptocracy has made great strides in freeing us of such decadence as health care, retirement, paid vacations, OSHA, EPA...next will be child labor, no doubt. They already have prison slave labor in some states.

Talk about perverse.
