Nothing's Free

OK sports fans. For those of you keeping score the Bush Administration has overseen the destruction of democracy, destruction of human rights, destruction of privacy, and now the destruction of the free market. His administration has tarnished the good name of vaginas across this planet.

People get rich giving the working class of this country loans for more than they can handle. When workers are losing their jobs and getting paid less because money and resources are being focused on stockholders rather than actual business products, loans go unpaid. The economy slides because the middle class are forced to tighten their belts as they slide into poverty. And the government just watches.

This slide eventually starts to effect stocks. Rich people now are being effected. Businesses who made absolutely idiotic and risky business decisions are now going bankrupt (something that the Bush Administration has made illegal for the American people). Suddenly the government takes notice. No more denial, rich people are in jeopardy of losing money!

So our country goes further into debt and the free market is destroyed to bail out the rich for making horrible choices while the working class (who where the other half of those combined bad decisions) are still left punished for their role in the disaster. No buyout for families losing their homes.

Don't get me wrong. i agree all parties involved are to blame. My outrage comes from the inequity in which different classes of people are treated in this country. The rich can use the battle cry of "free market" to screw over workers for years but suddenly when they find themselves in trouble they defy every sense of "free market" to bail themselves out.

The Statue of Liberty should be replaced as a symbol of this country with "Miss Information". Her torch will be fueled by burning oil and her book will be replaced with a television screen. On that screen will be a constant loop of ads like the following:

Maybe people should have taken out those high risk home equity loans to buy stock in the companies who where giving them the ludicrous loans. The insurance on those stocks are more secure than the health insurance that all of us are paying more and more for (if we are lucky enough to still have health insurance). Good luck all as we come in for a ruff, crash landing.
