Debt Ceiling Showdown: Culture, Hard Lessons Drive Republican Anti-Tax Stand

 

If Obama expects us to believe that he's solving our problems, then he's either been badly scared and threatened by the real powers behind the throne (in which case he's useless to us, the People in this democracy) or he's a corrupt insider whose representi­ng the interests of the establishm­ent elites, the richest 2 percent (in which case he's useless to us, the People in this democracy)­.

I was reminded the other day about how important it is to hire a buyer's agent, actually pay for one, to represent you whenever you're purchasing real estate, because the realtor represents the seller's interests.  This situation with Obama isn't much different.  We think he represents citizens and he goes to great lengths to try to convince people that he is president of ALL the people, Democrats and Republican­s.  But the truth is that he's representi­ng the interests of the transnatio­nal corporatio­ns and the top 2% richest.  That may trickle down to include the next 5% to 10%, but about 90% of Americans are getting sold out.  Never was that more obvious than when he negotiated the ACA, acting as both the buying and selling agent of insurance policies for the American people.

We're in "thin the herd" times and this president is helping to make that happen.
