Where's the average working Americans' "tea party"? |
|
So some derivatives trader-turned CNBC shill, Rick Santelli, is "outraged" that the Little Guy will be getting some mortgage debt relief from the government so as to help prevent a few million families from being kicked out to the curb. And he's calling for a populist revolt of bankers, hedge fund managers, trust-fund brats and their Rush Limbaugh-listening stooges/suck-ups to join him for a 4th of July "Chicago Tea Party" as a protest.
So where's the "tea party" of the average American who's fed up with the financial and corporate elite and their banking and credit card fees, trillion-dollar side bets on the housing market, speculative distortion of commodities markets, and their wholesale shipment of America's manufacturing overseas?

1. The Dick(less) Santellis of the world are the reason why we're in trouble today |
|
He's a fucking republic junk bond derivative trading asshole.
He did not make his megabucks researching and trading investment grade stocks.
He did not make his megabucks researching and trading investment grade bonds.
He did not make his megabucks building factories that produced goods.
He did not make his megabucks creating businesses that provided essential services.
He did not make his megabucks the "old fashioned way".
He made his megabucks on junk bonds and exotic derivatives and made money on the way up and made money on the way down.
Dick(less) Santelli is a FUCKING PARASITE - and the perfect posterboy for the stupid republican "tea party".
That is all.

3. Four words: "head on a pike" |
|
It is that simple. Dear Americans, ask yourselves, have the Wall Street liars, cheats and thieves made you richer? Is your life better off? How much longer are you going to tolerate the Wall Street pirates plundering and pillaging before you say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? How much longer are you going to tolerate YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES colluding and conspiring with the Wall Street liars? It's your money they've stolen. It's YOUR CHILDREN'S future they've mortgaged away. It's your jobs they've sent to some third-world sweatshop to brighten their bottom line. And as they lay you off, remember, "it's not personal, it's just business." That's right, it's not personal that you're going to be homeless, it's just business. It's not personal your 401K is now worthless, it's just business. It's not personal you can't afford healthcare, it's just business.

2. The media is in charge of Tea Parties, last I checked.....as they incited the one |
|
led by Ricky the Wall Street Ranter.
As usual, the media attempts to take us in a direction we should not want to go.
When will they be tried for treason? That's what I want to know.
