More Voices from 2009
Stagnating worker wages and the emergence of a new monied aristocracy. Of all the income growth of the entire country of the United States in the Bush years, the richest 1 percent of the working population, about 1.3 million persons, grabbed up over two-thirds of it. The Reagan and Bush cuts in tax rates on the wealthy have created a dangerous little alien inside our supposedly democratic society, of the super-rich, with their legions of camp followers. The new lords and ladies don't want a public universal health option, did not want the wars abroad to end abruptly, did not want the Copenhagen Climate convention to succeed. They are driven by pure greed and narrow profit-seeking for themselves.
And when their high risk hedge fund investments collapse, they line their pockets with your money from the U.S. Treasury in the form of a bailout. These greedy bastards never miss paying themselves a big, fat yearly bonus with your money!

Yup. They say it's legal over here but it wouldn't be if I did it.
