Who Bails US Out John McCain?

Today we await the biggest tax giveaway to private corporations that has ever occurred in any capitalistic country in modern times (other than as war reconstruction). This economic cesspool is the result of nearly three decades of unrestrained deregulation of corporations and financial organizations in the name of progress. The Republican Party has led the charge always advocating less regulation claiming that the benefits would trickle down to the working people in our country. For a short while this sleight of hand seemed to work. But greed begets more greed and the corporate masters saw that more deregulation would be even better. So the next big wave took place as millions of American workers were displaced and lost their jobs in the USA by workers in Mexico, China, Japan, Malaysia, Chile, India, etc. as American Companies moved factories and jobs overseas where regulations were virtually non existent and wages almost the same. Once again the Republicans led the charge and many equally greedy Democrats followed as the mantra of 'Free Trade" was used to justify their betrayal of the American People. 


Deregulation of banks and savings and loans began to take off with John McCain and his followers soon after he became a Senator about 26 years ago. He helped arrange special legislation for Lincoln Savings and Loan and was caught with his hands in the cookie jar. For this he received a slight reprimand and continued to foster and support more deregulation and encouraged shipping jobs over seas where regulations and wages were minimal. To this very date his Presidential Campaign is managed almost exclusively by lobbyists who are beholden to financial and corporate interests. His campaign manager has been continually paid by his own lobbying firm while he has run the McCain campaign. Yet McCain calls himself the "Maverick Reformer". Maverick maybe, since he is an unabashed hip shooter who doesn't seem to know the difference between the BS he slings and the truth. Unless just like a real maverick he is unloading it wherever he goes. 

Let's wake up America. We have been fed so much BS for so long that we are now drowning in it and don't seem to care. How can we consider the election of an admitted Maverick who cares more for the lobbyists and corporate interests while pretending he is a straight shooter. Lets shoot straight John McCain and tell the American people how you are going to bail US out of the mess that you helped get US into. Squish!
