Bush was wrong to cave in and compromise with the TARP, we admit it. Corporations don't pay taxes, people do. Government doesn't create jobs, people and companies do. Nobody ever got a job from a poor person. As far as the Financial disaster goes, three words, Dodd, Frank, Obama. Those three had the biggest hand in creating the mess at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Maybe they didn't do the dirty deeds, but they certainly kept anything from being done about it until they got theirs out of it. Compromise and bipartisanship does NOT mean "Do it MY way, because I'm in power". It should mean; put all ideas on the table, then choose to use what is best, no matter who proposed it. And don't get me started on Obama's petulant whining that it's all the republican's fault he can't advance his progressive agenda.  |
Excuse me but you think that I haven't worked to get to where I am today. MG how elitist of you. Why shouldn't corporations pay taxes? Do they not make money? I pay taxes on the money I make. That is what is wrong with your position....
Then you make me laugh.....Obama wasn't even in office even this financial crisis hit yet you blame him for Freddie and Fannie. Get a grip.
The Repubs were handed a surplus and Obama was handed the biggest financial crisis since the great depression...How many years were the Repubs in charge of Congress...how much bi-partisanship did we see then? NADA. Bi-partisanship also doesn't mean negotiate to get everything you can into the bill and then vote against it....think Snow and now most likely Brown and then cry about how they just won't listen to you.
Do you think we still don't have the "I am the Decider line still ringing in our ears"?
