Is it our turn yet?
Advertisements [?]
The military complex got theirs from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The oil people got theirs when gas was $4+ per gallon. The bankers and wall street got theirs through the bail-out and high rates on credit cards. The insurance companies got theirs through no anti-trust laws and over-charging. The auto companies got theirs through the bail-out and the cash for clunkers program.

Just when the fuck does congress intend to give the American citizens a break? Our leaders are eager to give our money to all kinds of special interests because they get their big buck campaign donations to get re-elected and they get to keep their cushy lifestyle.

Now that HCR is on the table, our leaders seem to think we, the people who actually pay for everything, don't deserve the right to affordable medical care, and in some cases, life itself!

Were it up to me, we would not give another dime to any military based company, any insurance company, any oil company, any bank, or any auto maker.

THIS SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP! WE, THE PEOPLE, ARE GETTING FUCKED ROYALLY!
