I mean NO offense to you, peaceandlove, but many of the people you quote and post about are clueless about how the average American is affected by this economy (Santelli is a great example). We can't have people higher up (Santelli) scolding the middle class for not being more fiscally responsible when we promote the free markets at the same time and we bail out irresponsible CEOs.
Like for example, the University that I work at, the President refuses to take a pay cut. He'd rather leave and he makes $400,000 a year. He is partly responsible for a $28 million budget shortfall that he tries to pin solely on the bad economy.
Why should people below him lose their jobs just so he can keep his? If you want to cut fat, you start at the top and not in the middle and certainly not on the bottom.

I still think you are misunderstanding the reason for my posts.
Ron Paul is very aware of how the average American is affected by this economy and no he is not a Republican in the true sense of the word. He is not, as people would think since he is associated with the party, a corporately controlled politician.
Santelli is commenting on the crookedness of the government and the Plunge Protection Team and yes, many people purchased homes that they could not afford. There are also those that are losing their homes because they lost their jobs. How do you discern which ones were foolish and which ones were unfortunate? Is it the taxpayer's responsibility to fund the foolish or the unfortunate?
