Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson doesn't like what he calls "(T)he fact that the American taxpayer is bearing the burden (of getting out of the current crisis). (B)ut it is far worse than the alternative."
Just so we get this straight:
"The alternative" is a total economic collapse -- which YOU helped sow the seeds for, when you were CEO of Goldman Sachs, which itself is now facing ruin.
YOU'RE EXPECTING ME -- AS A TAXPAYER -- BASING EVERY SIMPLE ECONOMIC DECISION ON TRUST -- TO BAIL YOUR ASININE DECISIONS OUT, TO PROTECT MY LIVELIHOOD -- WHILE YOU AND YOUR CRONIES COAST ON YOUR GOLDEN PARACHUTES, YOUR QUARTERLY $1M-PLUS BONUSES --
Earth-to-Paulson.
The second my paycheck is gouged to pay for this --
You're @#$$%^^^&#$@#$@#$@$@#$%%^2@
You know what? You LOST my willingness to accept your explanations based on party, or on ideology.
I am now a rogue element. I am now someone who expects REAL RESULTS. In short, your basic conservative. But one who will vote an Obama in a heartbeat if you fall short.
Will I want to? Of course not.
AND BECAUSE I'M REDUCED TO THIS, IS YOUR -- FAULT.
//rant off
*Sigh.*
I'm ready to FIGHT.
Put your freakin' money where your mouth is, brer. Because I'll do what I need to do WITHOUT you.
WHICH IS WHAT YOU!!! WERE SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR ALL ALONG.
//rant off
//for now
