Whoopie - a Bush-bashing thread!

You act like he doesn't deserve it. Bush is nothing but a corporate slut who used Jesus to get elected. His support of the Republican "no regulation" policies have created more bubbles than a pizza crust. Not to mention two needless wars that exploded the spending the Republican hypocrites say they dont want.

Republicans want privatized profits and socialized losses. Welfare is fine as long as it benefits those who don't need it.

It is your refusal to separate open market, from rigged market, which is what we have right now. Anytime someone suggests that those at the top can afford to put back into the workers and education and afford more in taxes, we falsely get accused of wanting Stalin like socialism.

The simple solution is to do more on your own so the other classes wont turn to government to ask for protection from the slash and burn economics those at the top pay government off to protect.

Bush has been the worst president this nation has ever seen.

I am old enough to see the pay gap explode and deregulation create the anarchy attitude that has manifested in corporate America.

NOW, if you think you have a better solution rather than more of the same shit that the past 30 years have built up, I am all ears. But if it is more of the same crap, forget it. I don't want to see America's labor force end up making the same slave wages as India and China. Competition should build, not rape.

The drug companies, insurance companies, wall street,and big banks are raping the public, driving down living standards and exploding the cost of living. A free open market is fine. But that also comes with responsibility. Your idea of "responsibility" is "Let them eat cake".

I don't know what you expect the other two classes do do if things continue to get worse. Would 30 cents an hour make you happy? Lets just have credit card machines on emergency vehicles and when the person cant pay, just say "fuck em".

Bush deserves every condemnation. I am sick and tired of the right wing falsely accusing concerned people of wanting to rid the world of an open market, when all we are saying is that the market is rigged and making things worse for more and more people.

If you want ton see where we are headed, Egypt, is a good example. One rich man, and even a rich military that looked the other way while the economy tanked while they got rich.

It is not because people want to get rich, that I get angry. It is because without ANY checks and balances of ANY type of power, that you end up with a lopsided economy. Anti-trust laws are what the corporate class hate and we will end up looking like Egypt if we continue to erode protection of abuse of power.

ABUSE OF POWER, not class, not race, not religion, is what I object to. And the top class is not showing me a damned thing to prove to me they care about whom they trample on to get what they want.

All Bush and the Republican party sell is, "Money equals power and might makes right". There is no such thing as a utopia. You are entitled to go for what you want in life, but to think what works for you should include saying "screw the rest" will set you up long term to be knocked off your pedestal.

The three class system in our open market cannot be stretched so thin, as to have the string break. Without introspection and building and recognizing that it takes all of us, this class war fare will destroy us and lead to the very systems you and I don't want.

Government systems flip back and forth for the same reason in both directions. You get a monopoly of power and centralized wealth, where too many people don't have economic freedom or political freedom, you end up with a revolt. The rise of Stalin AND the fall of Communism, happened for the same reason.

Politics and religion fly out the window when there is no food on the table.

My advice to you if you want OUR open market, which I do too, is to stop blaming people for not following your script and realize that it takes all of us.

Maybe he thought you were being sarcastic?

I thought it was a great rant!

And an apt description!
