My thanks to Kanye West-Gold Digger

I ain’t sayin she a gold digger,
But she ain’t playin wit no broke, broke.

These are the kind of lyrics that stick in your head when you listen to hip-hop to and from work everyday, because you can not find anything else on FM. I guess I will be investing in XM very soon, but these lyrics reminded me of our President and his Republican allies. Couldn’t the lyrics just as easily be…

I ain’t sayin George a gold digger,
but he ain’t helpin out no poor, poor.
I ain’t sayin George a gold digger,
But he ain’t helping out no poor, poor.

Let’s look at who George and his Republican buddies have helped since they have taken control.

1. Oil companies—SHOCKER—record profits and they still get sweetheart deals in the so called energy bill, and gas is still above $2.50 a gallon.
2. Credit card companies—No more bankruptcy for the little man, but corporate America can declare bankruptcy and wipe their slates clean of employee pensions.
3. PBM’s-(Pharmacy Benefit Managers)- The Medicare prescription bill was nothing but a give away to the scum of the earth PBM’s. The Republicans did not feel the need to negotiate for lower prices for seniors and use the government’s power to leverage lower prices. Instead they gave these companies the power to charge seniors around $35 a month and $250 deductibles and then PBM’s are allowed to negotiate for rebates for themselves. They will not have to pass the reduced cost on to the seniors or the American Tax Payer, they will be allowed to pocket all the extra profits.
4. Wall Street—I guess the Democrats were able to stop the give away of Social Security for now, but you can bet that this is not really off the President’s radar. This President will stop at nothing when it comes to giving his corporate contributors money. You can bet that after the mid term elections if he still has a majority in both houses that this will come back up. (and he will once again have a mandate)
5. Haliburton- Enough said, I mean we blew the hell out of innocent people so this company could steal real Americans money, and squander it in a desert half way around the world.
6. Richest 1% of Americans- Got a nice tax break while the rest of us are getting huge deficits that our children will have to pay back.

I’m sure I am forgetting many other incidents of you scratch my back and I will pour money over yours, but how can anyone remember all of them.
