This is a MUST see video clip!
“It’s time for another tea party.”
Looks like the talking heads and markets are revolting against Obama’s moronic ideas. They know what they are talking about and he doesn’t. That’s it in a nutshell. Maybe he should have studied finance instead of how to circumnavigate the Constitution to get himself elected.
I am 52 years old and have always lived well within my means. So I RESENT being made to make good on other peoples STUPID self inflicted mistakes.
I have my own business so I cut back 80 % because:
33 % fed tax + alt min tax 15 % FICA tax then 6 % state income tax then another 8 % in other hidden and not so hidden taxes such as use taxes, FUTA ,SUTA …. tax & tax !
That’s almost 60 % right off the top STOLEN from ME !
Mr. Santelli thank you for speaking up
Hey Big Money, how do you feel about the Wall Street bailout?
Big Money:
Kinda takes away the incentive to try and make more, doesn’t it? And that’s why socialism never works. But they keep trying it.
At least the government provides me with a sweet ass national defense! I love stealth bombers and badass remote controlled predator drones!
I tend to live in a bubble and don’t usually pay much attention to politics; however, the stimulous package has gotten my attention, and I am very angry about its passage. I was soooo glad to hear Rick Santelli verbalize what I have been feeling. How can we start a grass roots campaign to do what is right for this country? I thought that Obama was going to “change” America and put it on the right path. Helping people who have lost their jobs and need assistance is the right thing to do. But keeping people in houses who didn’t even bother to save enough for a down payment before they bought them is wrong. I bought a house 3 years ago–HIGH market–and put down a sizable down payment. Now it’s worth 30% less and I can’t afford to sell it, even if I could find a buyer. My retirement portfolio has decreased by 34%, and I’m only a few years from retirement. I don’t see anything in the stimulus package that’s going to help me. I realize that no one ever said life was fair, but it should at least be reasonable. This country needs a revolution of the silent majority–like Rick said, another tea party.
Organize the tea party Rick. I will be there!
If Rick had thrown his revolt against his peers, the mortgage brokers, real estate agents, developers, and wall streeters who packaged the CDO’s, who caused an escalation in housing prices for ALL of us, (responsible and non-responsible) homeowners alike, then we would not be in this mess at all. Rick’s ilk was and continues to be the source of the problem.
