The voters are angry and know why because:

1) For eight long years they have seen this corrupt administration treat them like dirt while treating the rich with more money. While i had my medical insurance claim for retinal surgery declined because i had dandruff, my rich banker goes on a vacation to Bahamas and gets a botox facelift.

2) gas prices have risen vertically much more than i can afford. As a result i travel in the scrappy local Bus, while i see the rich banker and oilman travel in their tax-deductible Limos.

3) I lose my home because the bank raised the mortgage payment by 110%, plus i have to pay to IRS taxes on phantom income. Plus my credit card rates risen steeply making me bleed through my eyes to pay minimum balances.

4) I see rich bankers who re-possessed my house and sold it at a loss to me, are now getting money from the Federal Government for their losses, while i still pay estate taxes on a house i don't own.

5) I see this administration willing to burn midnight oil to help their rich friends retain their condos and yachts, while it makes it harder for me to even declare bankruptcy or pay for my eye surgery.

This President and this administration and this congress led by traitor Pelosi will be remembered for a long time as:

The worst Government any people could have, and the culmination of the incredible stupidity of people governed.

The people are fed up. They want no taxation without representation. They want a say in how their money is spent.

Is this too much to ask in a Republic?

I have always wondered who are the 28% of the population who still support Bush.

Now i know.

I guess it is Ok with you if i threaten you and take away your money to feed my cat while you starve to death.

I also guess you are ok with the elected commander-in-chief lying repeatedly to hoodwink you into killing thousands of your neighbors and friends.

I also guess you are OK with banks foreclosing your home because you are unable to pay a 110% increase in mortgage payments for no fault of your own.

I also guess you are OK with having to choose between liver surgery or a credit card payment because your insurer declined your claims since you had dandruff.

If you are OK with all these, then you must be what they call a True Redneck Texan with a Ten Gallon hat which adorns a head which contains Absolute Vaccum between the ears.

Yes, you truly are a Bush supporter and a neocon.

This allowed "responsible" people like me to refinance my house and gain from the artificially increasing value of my house.

True. But then banks are "supposed" to be more responsible than me. They are supposed to put safety before profits. So where did their 'responsibility' go? Please don't blame the Fed as answer.

If you have been in the housing market for 10 years or more, you have profited handsomely from policies that favored you and passed all of the risk to those younger and poorer than you. Oh, that really makes you so "responsible".

No. They are a "return" on the exhorbitant taxes and social security that i "loan" to the government.

Remember that taxes are not a one-way traffic. Taxes are social equalizers and common funds.

When i pay 33% of my income as tax, i expect me & the society to benefit from it. I certainly do not expect that money to be paid out to rich bankers who were irresponsible and their failure could have widespread failures.

The profits that we "responsible" people have benefited from were actually bribes to keep us quiet while administration fiscal policies (including tax policies and the financing of the war) allowed party cronies to raid the bank.

We did not benefit from such 'bribes'. We ended up losing the house. The only guys who benefitted from these 'bribes' and got to keep them were the guys who never paid their taxes in the first instance.

Food prices are kept artificially low by embracing extremely cruel but money-saving livestock practices, food and other costs are kept artificially low by exploiting below-wage illegal aliens or by shipping work offshore where it is easier to take advantage of low-priced exploitative practices

No. That is just cut-throat capitalism at work. Food prices are low because so many producers, so little taxes and so much competition results in lower prices. Lower wages is again because of competition. Not because we invite illegal aliens.

I guess that admitting that maybe some people are in trouble because of policies and not entirely due to their own irresponsibility would require you to admit to a little too much personal responsibility for comfort.

No. Seriously No. Why should i accept responsibility for failure of a policy when i had no hand in drafting it in first place? I was expecting a good return on the money i had loaned to the government in first place by way of taxes and social security. Is that too much to expect?
