ROOT OF RAGE: Is our democracy Wall Street's bitch?
The public anger over the bailouts and bonuses taken from bailouts and economic appointees whose loyalties clearly lie more with the corporate criminals than with us boils down to that one question: is our democracy Wall Street's bitch?

We have woken up to find that we are a lowly streetwalker with a particularly powerful and conscienceless pimp.

He demands more and more of our money, and when we tell him the little he let's us keep isn't enough to take our baby to the doctor or send our older kid to college, he says, "That aint my problem, bitch. Who told you to have kids? Besides, Daddy gotta pay off this new pimp tooth," as he shows you a diamond encrusted crown on his bicuspid. Then he beats us with his ivory pimp cane almost to death.

This shouldn't have surprised you since he has been nagging you to get your grandma to sign over her Social Security checks to him too, which you and grandma have fought off since that would leave her to die penniless in the gutter...

4. No, if democracy is the will of the people, our democracy such as it is doesn't rise to that level.
The corporate media and corporate lobbyists are Wall Street's bitches.

Our political leaders are the bitches' puppies, sucking from the toxic teat.

The will of the people or democracy, is the puppy poop. If the puppies behinds aren't kept clean by the bitch, they will eventually die from sickness, so every now and then, the bitches must clean the puppy poop away, usually by licking the puppies with kindness; this comes in the form of positive or negative propaganda combined with lots of money; this is also known as legalized bribery.

In spite of all this, I am optimistic in that one day we will rise to the level of full fledged bitch and then bite Wall Street on the ass.
