You Won't Believe This Quote From Wall Street's #1 Lobbyist

Source - Truth Out

Steve Bartlett opened his mouth.  A former Congress-critter who was promoted to be Wall Street's top Washington lobbyist, he is a perfect symbol of the infuriating corrupt coziness between financial elites and lawmakers. Yet Bartlett blithely says:

  • "We don't see ourselves as the target of the protests."

After all, he explains, Wall Street "has to be well capitalized and well financed for the economy to recover."  Golly, Steve, I think we capitalized you extremely well.

What part of the public's multitrillion-dollar bailout of the Street's elite did you not see?

We the People see every glaring dime of it.  And we also see that rather than helping our economy recover, you're now lobbying Congress to kill Wall Street reforms so banksters can grab even more at our expense.

Mr. Bartlett has just moved up to the top of the list of those most likely to have an appointment with the guillotine once the perps are finally rounded up.

"Provide a fair trial, then hang him and anyone distantly related to him, then burn the corpses in septic tank full of gasoline and shit ",

Forgot to add that the above quote is from, "A Tale of Two Cities," and do not reflect my own views on the above article.
