Democratic senators fear that if they accept contributions from institutions they bailed out with taxpayer money, they will incur the wrath of their liberal base and working-class Americans. The Senate may also have to decide whether to approve more taxpayer money for Wall Street.

Democratic senators fear that if they accept contributions from institutions they bailed out with taxpayer money, they will incur the wrath of their liberal base and working-class Americans.

And who is going to make the people aware of this? The media butt kissers? The mute and spineless Republicans?

Seriously, if the working class American thought for himself, we wouldn't be at this juncture. The Dems have been dirty as hell for many years in this manner and it hasn't alienated their base, or the average dumb American. Don't know why it should happen now.

Wall Street is no longer a capitalist refuge. They long ago sold out to government-facilitated state protection and welfare. You can throw the Chamber of Commerce in there with them.

They used the government to protect their shenanigans, screening out any kind of oversight while they created Ponzi schemes and transferred American wealth to foreign operatives.

Ironically, the Republicans of the Bush administrations fell for it, and gave these guys everything they wanted, even though most of these Wall Streeters were good loyal contributers to the Democrat Party. Finally, they got their own Democrat in power. along with a Democrat Congress they also paid for.

So it’s really humourous watching these Wall Street greed artists get skunked by the clowns they put in power. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys.
