Tax cut dividends still missing

Sun., Nov. 21, 2010

Exxon profit soars to 55 percent in third quarter, we have $3-a-gallon gas, oil is $85 a barrel and we’re in the middle of a recession. The Federal Reserve (it’s not federal, and it has no reserve) is going to print another $600 billion and give it to the big banks to help the economy?

Have you noticed coffee is higher now than it’s ever been? That’s because those big banks are awash in cash now, and they’re manipulating the commodities markets and ripping off the public while refusing to lend money to small business. The next move will be the extension of the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy so we can have that trickle-down effect, again. It worked so well in the past.

Where the hell are the jobs from those past 10 years of Bush tax cuts for the wealthy?
