No More Help, Please by Stephen Fairfax
*** begin quote ***
My so-called representative voted for the Billionaire Bailout. It’s easy to understand why; he’s collected $732,629 from the Securities & Investment industry alone. My firm has paid far more than that in taxes, but taxes don’t buy congressional votes the way campaign contributions do. The 7 Massachusetts “representatives” who voted for the Billionaire Bailout have collectively gathered more than $11,785,000 from investment, banking, real estate, law, lobbying, and building industries. No wonder they support the Billionaire Bailout despite overwhelming public opposition.
*** end quote ***
You really couldn’t have forgotten the three rules of politics: (1) feather your own nest; (2) reward your friends; and (3) punish your enemies.
The Bailout does all three! But not for thee or me.
