MSM/CNBC/MSNBC/SANTELLI-CLASS WARFARE

[fumsm]

The way I see it, what we are experiencing, and have for some time, is true class warfare. The rich are getting worried. First we bailed their asses out after they threatened us, then they complained, but settled a little when their bellies were full. Now their hungry again, and want more, and there better not be strings attached, and don't ask us what we are doing with the dough, just feed us.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GOING TO FEED THE PEOPLE FIRST? ARE YOU KIDDIN MEEE?" You don't understand,'we eat first, got it', NOO, what do you mean Nooo?"

The ridiculous "gimmick" by MSNBC yesterday was just that. A gimmick. Their desire to over-sensationalize "everything, to improve ratings, is insatiable. The repugs know this, and will exploit it. The true rich, the crooks,er I mean, the financial people, control everything. They and the media are creating an increasingly worse system daily.

Now threatening a market meltdown if the banks are nationalized. They can't understand why the government (people) will not just give them more money, even though the money already put in most of these banks was more than the companies assets in the first place. Technically, we already own them. But give up without a fight to the death, never.

Obama said, change is hard, and it will take time. I was a Hillary supporter, but now I support Obama. I seen the light so to speak. But as with any change, and particularly conservatives, it is painful, and can be messy, and will be.

But in the end, it will change. The repugs have no leader, and none forthcoming, they have no fresh ideas, and they are blinded by the power and money that they have always had, which allows them to control, everything. But it is coming to an end. Just not sure how long this tunnel is gonna be. Just not sure...

1. That's precisely what it is

Santelli's pretty brave in a room with a bunch of fellow multi-millionaires working cushy "jobs" for high salaries. It's a hilarious little road show, but I have a little list of places I wouldn't advise Mr. Santelli to take his act. And the spectacle of a bunch of other overpaid "talent" discussing Santelli's antics just makes me want to throw up on their thousand dollar shoes.

Instead, though, let's take a page from Mr. Santelli's book, and ask a few questions of him:

1. What's your base annual salary, Mr. Santelli?

2. What do you get from appearance fees, incentive bonuses, speaking fees, residuals, royalties and other emoluments?

3. Where else could you command that kind of income? That is to say, who else craves your valuable services and would pay you a comparable salary?

4. What's your personal margin of error? For example, if you missed a step coming down some stairs and twisted your ankle so that you were laid up for a couple of days, how much money would you lose? Would your job be at risk? What if you really twisted your ankle, such that you were concerned there might be serious ligament or tendon damage? Could you see a doctor right away? Would you have to pay that doctor out of your own pocket?

5. Still here, Mr. Santelli? Color me surprised.

6. What kind of car do you drive? What is your alternate transportation plan if it conks out? Could you still get your grocery shopping done? How would you get to work?

7. If you're at work, and your child's school calls to say that she's sick and you need to come get her and take her home NOW, would you be at risk for losing your job by leaving in the middle of the day? What if this happened two or three days in a row? How soon could you get your child in to see a doctor, and would that expense represent 25% of your weekly take home pay?

8. What's your mortgage payment? Is it more or less than 40% of your take home pay?

Well, I'm positive that the journalistic bulldogs at the National Broadcasting Corporation won't hesitate to pose the tough questions to their blowhard colleague.

2. Was Santelli screaming when the fat cats got bailed out?

I didn't think so.

3. Exactly correct

The capitalist class is on its heels for the first time in 40 years, and is fighting as brutally as it always has.

4. All we need is A LECTURE BY A Wall Street Trader when Wall

Stret got us into this mess .(with the help of a GOP Party bent on
De-Regulation and no taxes if they could get away with it.)
