If Mauldins maudlin speech is any indication of what goes on when business elites meet and greet behind closed doors, our corporate overlords should permanently ban all video equipment from their events. Mitt Romneys derogatory 47% comment seems endearingly naive compared to Mauldins crude anecdote about his pal, Boehner. And even more amazingly this video wasnt surreptitiously recorded and leaked to Mother Jones by Jimmy Carters grandson. It was publicly posted to YouTube by Cambridge House International the company that organized this conference! Or should I say, the company that formerly organized this conference?
The bit about Boehners frustration in working Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and President Barack Obama is bad enough.
The rest is even scarier.

Did this mouthpiece of the one-percent REALLY mumble barely veiled threats about how if the U.S. wont play nice with the global financial community and implement the draconian austerity policies they desire his corporate masters will take their
um
big marshmallow balls and go home? Remember how in Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rands penultimate celebration of wealth, narcissism, and greed the sociopathic protagonist John Galt persuades his rich acolytes to hide themselves and their wealth in a secret enclave when society wont let them have their way? And how that caused the collapse of civilization?

But then again, Captain Caveman is the leader of the Party with no spine, or as I call them in my darker moods - the Doormatcrats.
But why should they fight when their own base is so willing to accept so little effort? When they have a base that celebrates keeping 85% of the Bush tax cuts as a victory, then why go out on a limb for them? Much more important to keep the corporate masters happy, and then those corporate masters will take care of you and help you to dupe the masses.
