March 25, 2009 (Information Clearing House) -- President
Obama basically said that we can't demonize every investor who earns a
profit, because "we are all in this together." Sorry, but I am going to
have to call a big fat "bull-shit" on this one.
When Obama said "we" did he have a mouse in his pocket? Obama, and his
family have a very opulent, slave-built roof over their heads. He
travels on the public nickel, his children attend an exclusive
Washington, DC, private school that has organic food on its menu, and
has health care that covers everyone in his family from head to toe and
side to side and inside out.
Even though he and every member of the administration, Congress and the
Supreme Court are not hurting for anything, the bastard (sorry if your
parents weren't married when you were conceived) Wall Street banksters
are receiving billions of dollars of government welfare and are not so
good about being in "this together" with us.
The only concrete steps the Treasury and Fed have taken are to buy
"toxic" assets (if something is toxic can it still be an asset?) so
companies like Goldman Sachs (via AIG) can have the public tit rescue
them from their stupider than crap mistakes.
WE the ROBBED Class are in this together. THEY the ROBBER Class are in
it for themselves. How many times does Obama have to demonstrate that
his economic recovery is nothing but Reaganomics wrapped in a little
bit of populist rhetoric to make it easier for the mis-informed Robbed
Class to swallow. If anything transpires to alleviate the suffering in
our Class at all, it will be because some of the prosperity got through
the cracks in the deeply cancerous system and trickled ON us. Rest
assured, this is just a mistake and the only time the Robber Class
cares about us, is when the interests of the two classes collide.
I will feel like I am "in this" with the Obamas when I have a free
house, free health care and if my children would not have to go into
lifelong debt to pay for university.
I wonder if the wall to wall homeless population (it's growing at an
alarming rate) here in San Francisco feels "in this together" with the
Wall Street Robbers?
I wonder if the people standing waiting for hours in municipal
Emergency Rooms waiting to get some, any medical attention feel "in
this together" with Congress which has 110 percent medical coverage?
I wonder if the foot soldiers for the Empire feel "in this together" with the War Profiteer Robbers?
I wonder if the victims of the drug wars and street wars feel "in this
together" with the children of the Robbers who ride to their schools in
limos with bodyguards?
I wonder if our brothers and sisters living in tent cities with their
children feel "in this together" with the Pelosis and Feinsteins of the
world who live in their obscenely huge mansions in exclusive
neighborhoods and fly back and forth from DC in private jets that suck
down gas at an immoral rate?
I wonder if our brothers and sisters who just cashed a final
unemployment check feels "in this together" with the Robbers who just
cashed millions in bonuses?
I, myself, feel "in this together" with the homeless, hungry, sick,
jobless, struggling, stressed, frightened, confused, yet resilient,
brave and strong.
WE are in this together. WE need to step outside of the Robber Class
system and start to build our own systems to help each other through
this Robber Class/Goldman Sachs/Federal Reserve depression.
