These crooks are the most unpatriotic, America-hating people we’ve seen. They are sending their friends and lobbyists to Washington to ask for what could be a $1.8 TRILLION bailout to save the problems they created, yet no, they’re not willing to cut back one single penny. Not one. They still want their hundreds of millions in annual bonus money and they still want their elite lifestyle as though none of this ever happened. For Wall Street as well as Bush, Paulson and Bernanke, it’s perfectly acceptable that middle class Americans foot the bill in terms of cut backs and higher taxes so America’s royalty on Wall Street can live well. Yep, they want you to pay for their mistakes as if they had nothing to do with it.

For all the Palin-McCain talk about patriotism, how patriotic is this? How patriotic is it that Phil Gramm works for Swiss giant UBS and asks Americans to fund a UBS bailout? How patriotic is it for Bush to suggest that the American middle class – who hate every piece of this bailout – is the problem and not greedy executives who want to make sure they continue to get their high salaries, bonuses, taxes paid by the company and every other juicy addition to their lifestyle?

If Bush and Paulson are telling America that we are on the brink of disaster, shouldn’t Wall Street help America and put aside their greed for a while and join the team? If not, do we really want to help them out? Maybe a splash of cold, hard capitalism is what they need to bring them to their senses. That’s what they have been dishing out to us for years so why not? Until Wall Street is willing to compromise and join in the pain, they can go to hell. Same for Bush, Paulson and Bernanke. We’re either all in this together or we’re not. Right now, it’s only the middle class. The same patriotic middle class who funded tax cuts for the rich and this damned Iraq war.
