The Avarice of our political masters

The avarice of our big money political rulers has no shame, as was exposed when Senator McCain could not even verify how many homes he owns and his statement that you are not rich until you make at least $5 million a year. Politicians have traditionally come from wealth, in a society like America were success is measured by your wealth it is understandable that we elect the most financially successful to positions of power. But the hegemony of the Republican party, this last 8 years, has grown to a cacophony of corruption and abuse that has become a blatant attack upon the middle class by a long list of taxes, draconian laws, and the support for conglomerates that sell themselves as American companies while shifting Americas industrial base and jobs to China and India.

When Bin Laden wanted to strike at the USA he understood that to destroy America you have to attack its economy through the volatility of the stock markets and the dollar, with the intent of causing a recession or depression and effectively eliminating the wealth of our middle class. Our politicians, these men of Avarice, don't need Bin Laden's help in that regard because their wanton grab for power and wealth contains no reservations.
