Mob Rule
House majority leader, Eric Cantor recently stated, "I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street." Apparently Mr. Cantor either didn't get or didn't read the memo that these "mobs" represent 99% of Americans. Americans that are being nickel and dimed to death daily by banks, utilities and insurance companies. That is when they are not being raped by big oil or harassed by the IRS. Mr. Cantor doesn't have much sympathy for those of us who actually want elected officials to do something. Mr. Cantor is big on cutting the budget. He has been highly critical of the government bail outs, although he did't see any problem supporting the bail out bill that gave $267 million to the bank which employed his wife.
House minority leader Nancy "can't believe people vote for me" Pelosi's response wasn't much better. Instead of pointing out that the protest is about the unfairness with which the average American continues to be treated by both its government and its elected officials, she stated Cantor didn't complain when the Tea Party protested. The issue isn't about protests the issue is about the President and Congress pissing on us and trying to tell us its just been raining for the last seven years.
Of course no one is more out of touch then the Borin' Mormon Mitt Romney. "I think it's dangerous, this class warfare." Guess what Mitt it's only dangerous to one class; yours. Mitt has taken hundreds of millions in donations from Wall Street. His fundraising has been so brazen that shell companies with Mitt's own mailing address are set up for the sole purpose of donating millions back to him. Where do you think Mitt's loyalty lies? With the guy working two months a year to pay the IRS and another six months a year to pay Comcast, Hess, National Grid, N-Star, Traveler's Insurance, Bank of America and AT & T?
"Many people in government and business are not bad people, but made "extraordinary errors," such as giving loans to people who could not pay them back. He added that many of our problems were caused by excesses on the part of the people, Wall Street and the government.
"Attacking industries in America would be a mistake," said Romney. "Wall street is connected to main street. Finding a scapegoat, finding someone to blame, isn't the right way to go." Well said from one of the guys who is clearly to blame. Your right Mitt, we overreacted, "Hey Wall Street keep up the good work, sorry about our "excesses", we the "mob" will try and do better. "
