”We want the taxpayers’ money back, and we’re going to collect every dime.” So said President Obama, referring to a proposed 0.15 percent tax on America’s top 50 banks; which would generate 90 billion dollars in ten years. With everyone from liberal democrats to Town Hall conservatives up in arms over record bonuses in the financial sector after Bush’s 700 billion dollar bailout, you’d think this would be a slam-dunk.
Not so.
Massachusetts republican Scott Brown, leading contender to fill the senate vacancy of the late Ted Kennedy, has stated he’d vote against such a proposal. With deficits to China in the trillions, and a looming threat that big banks could have another meltdown unless Congress enacts some degree of common sense reform, Brown is 100 percent behind the fat-cat bloodsuckers who live in Ivory Towers, bought and paid for by the blood, sweat and tears of American taxpayers.
What the hell are Massachusetts voters thinking?
“Nothing in the world is more haughty than a man of moderate capacity when once raised to power.” – Baron Wessenberg
