Bleeding the Middle Class to help the Rich

        When we stick to the issues, we find that we agree most of the time, but our emotional attachment to labels confuse the issue.  The movers and the shakers use their millions to make government bend to their wills.  Democrats are very good at demonizing Koch brothers hoping we will not notice the one- per centers who grease their palms.  
         Elon Testler spends millions of dollars on Democrat candidates.  He has already been given over half a billion in subsidies and those who can afford to buy one of his cars get $7,500 in tax rebates.  Those of us who could never dream of owning a Tesla help the rich buy them.  George Soros spends millions of dollars on Democrat candidates to insure that the Keystone pipeline project is squelched.  After all he makes millions of dollars every day shipping the oil on his railroad.   
         They saved the big banks and passed new regulations that put the small independent banks out of business. Tom Steyer, Mike Bloomberg, Amber Mostyn, Eric Schmidt, and Haim  Saban are just a few of the other excessively rich who donate millions to Democrat candidates in order to insure that their corner of the world gets a nod, gets permission to pick our pockets and line theirs.

        We have to recognize that it’s a problem on both sides of the aisle and direct our attention to solving the problem at its genesis:  There is too much money, too much power in Washington.  .

  1. A thousand apologies. I misspoke. It, of course, is not George Soros who so gallantly fought the keystone pipeline and profits royally from it, but Warren Buffett. Reports vary but he ships somewhere between 700,000 and 939,000 barrels of oil a day at a cost of from $12 to $20 a barrel. Pretty sweet. His cool one billion donated to the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action really paid off.
