Does it not strike anyone as strange that when Republicans try to give businesses more useable cash in the form of tax cuts, they are lambasted as being in the ‘pockets’ of big businesses but when DEMOCRATS blow HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars to bail out Wall Street, they are “protecting our financial system”?
How is it that unconscionable loans to the US auto industry that reward uncompetitive behavior and fundamentally unsustainable union demands… loans that line the pockets of interest groups that give generously to the Democratic party… are hailed as brilliant and necessary public policy by the same people who despise Republican tax cuts?
Does not anyone wonder how Democrats behaving exactly like republicans as a practical matter (except worse, they are rewarding incompetence instead of rewarding ingenuity), they are hailed even by their own party as saving the country, standing up for the little guy… but when Republicans try to make life easier on businesses, they are EVIL CORPORATE SHILLS…
You democrats are a piece of work… I’m serious.
That is a pretty genius observation Joel — I had not thought of it that way before but it is completely a ridiculous double standard!
well thanks, I didn’t think this was really that obscure of a point… but I guess when nobody else is making the argument, I might have just hit the proverbial analytical jackpot.
