These are not reasonable people who have seen the errors of their ways. |
|
Republicans, Wall Street, Large Corporations, Neo-Cons, Heath Insurers... They do not acknowledge the mess they have caused and have no intention of helping to fix things. Especially if it means it will cost them even one cent. It's time that the Democratic leadership and the Administration stop acting like they are dealing with reasonable people.

5. Because they have NEVER been penalized for screwing up. |
|
If there is no punishment for bad things, then why should they care?
And the Democratic Leadership puts Corporate America above the American People.

6. It's like Bart @ Bartcop.com says - |
|
Bart has a series of "laws" that he follows.
One of Bart's laws is this little gem:
"If you make a mistake, and that mistake makes you millions, you can plan on that mistake being made over and over and over again".

8. Because the people in a position to do the punishing couldn't do so without |

shining a big bright spotlight on their own complicity in the whole mess.

7. Upton Sinclair quote via Krugman |
