They'll socialize their losses and somehow make us pay for it, but remember, they don't like "socialism" unless it's the corporate flavor.

spread out over people who won't even miss it.

These people are so superwealthy that a few hundred million is like pocket change.

All of that money is framing the issues, and President Obama happily accepts that framing and adds his own two steps to the right to it.

That money isn't being used just to buy candidates, it's being used to buy "reality" and replace it with a lie.

Nobody "electable" is talking about election fraud, the fact that slashing the safety net is not the solution, or that Wall St. robbed all of us with their help, or how we're spying on, torturing and assassinating people at will.

Wormy apples for lunch! Every get theirs!
