The "ubers" gave themselves a nice bonus

[salinen]

The top percentillionaires, who represent a tiny fraction of the population, decided they wanted more. There was no battle to wage for them. Easy as calling on the private line. McConnell always answers that call.

IT IS NOT OUR GOVERNMENT! It's a fucking farce to call it the house of representatives when they don't represent us. But they do one "hellofa" job representing Mr. Hedge Fund, Mr. Health Insurance CEO, Mr. Oil & Mr. Pharma.

It's pretty much over this illusion called democracy. Were on the brink of the second great depression. Too hyperbolic? Maybe.

1. They paid nearly $84 million to buy the last election cycle

They're not dummies; they were expecting a nice return on their investment, and they got it.

2. chump change

for them.

[bluerum]

3. These are the people and corporations that have the in with the Federal reserve

bank to get zero percent loans so that they can turn around and buy and sell sovereign debt from the US treasury. Then we get stuck with that bill as well - and they get huge capital gains tax giveaway from us. We are too good to them. I think we should rob them.

[salinen]

5. They've robbed us

and the planet.

[bluerum]

6. Agreed. Way past the time to fight back.

[Renew Deal]

4. They represent a large percent of congress

So it's no surprise that they fight for themselves.
