Many of the upper earners on Wall Street have had a good life mostly unhindered for decades. They would dutifully contribute to both parties in the belief that life would be the same no matter who won. And they were right, because it didn't matter who had the House, the Senate, or the Presidency. They just kept rolling along. Spectacular mansions, jets, yachts, fabulous vehicles, maids, extraordinary vacations, and access to the powerful in the State and Federal political houses. But something has changed and people are jolted like never before. What happened? Why are they being targeted?
As long as there was gridlock, or if Republicans were in charge, there was little chance that things would change. Oh sure, occasionally someone would screw up and the investigators would crack down, but that didn't happen very often.
What has changed is that liberals are in full charge with no one to stop them. The people being targeted by the left should have paid more attention in the past when the auto industry was under attack for producing SUVs, when the oil companies were being vilified as evil profiteers, and when laws were being passed to punish us all for global warming and greenhouse gases.
So now, an unrestrained left whips up the crowds and points out the houses of the rich. The rich are receiving death threats. Who is defending them? Their Governors? Their State politicians? Their mayors? It doesn't seem so. The loudest protester so far has been Rush Limbaugh.
The next loudest protesters need to be the Republicans in The Senate and the House. Yes, they didn't win, but that should not stop them from very publicly putting the name to the evil that the leftists unleash on private citizens.
A couple of questions I have, and they are being asked every day by thousands, and perhaps millions of people are: If you knew, or strongly suspected, what Obama was going to do once he got into office, would you have donated ANY MONEY AT ALL to the Democrats, and would you still have voted for him? And, now knowing what has been brought forth, are you ever going to vote for Obama or any Democrat again?. Are you ever going to make a monetary donation to the Democrat party again?
And most importantly, do you people realize that much worse in coming?
Well is any seniors or baby boomers with an IQ above room temp should realized is their retirement is scrwed for good. Unless they invested wiesely in something that was not totally exposed to the market like annuities or a pension - it is over for them.
They can thank Obama for that. The only way to change it is if the GOP has a landslide in 2010 or a for JAG officer attorney takes a case to SCOTUS with military members as John and Jane Does and SCOTUS does their job.
The irony of listening to these wealthy bankers howl after supporting Obama and voting for Obama is rich, indeed. They deserve what they get. Unfortunately, the rest of us are getting it too!
