The people resisted until the thieves told the people that the economy was a mess because there was a credit crisis and only some of their money would prevent a complete collapse and lose of all of their money. Now it happens that this crisis was caused by the Big Government Federal Reserve Chairman lowering interest rates to the point that no-one could afford to save money and investors speculated wildly in commodities rather than the financial markets. The Big Government Congressmen mandated low interest loans to people who could not pay them off to buy houses they could not afford to buy. Once these thieves discovered that the people could be fooled into giving up their money, 700 Billion, to bailout big financial institutions that did not deserve the Bush corporate tax breaks, that the thieves had set up for failure, the thieves laughed in delight. Then came the parade of the benefactors of the thieves thievery. Before the ink was dry on the check for 700 Billion and while the ways to spend the taxpayers childrens and grandchildrens money was changed on a daily basis by the Treasury Secretary (The Master Thief) the cities (Philthadelphia), (Bostone), (New Yawk City?), the states (California), (New York?), (Maasitochits), and big corporations, who did not deserve the Bush tax cuts, (G.M., Ford) lined up for bailouts of their own saying, “if it is that easy who needs tax breaks, just steal the money from the children and grandchildren of taxpayers and give it to us as you did the financial institutions you caused to fail.” So the thieves went back to the people demanding more money for the cities and states and automakers and told the people it was in their own best interest else they may lose all of their money. Now normally the people would see through this scam, but having been enlighted by the National Education Association, protected by the Teachers Union and taught by government mandated “standards” the people did not understand. Add to this the fact that the news of the day was in the pockets of the thieves so the New Yawk Times, Washingtoon Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, told the people to go ahead and bailout the cities, states and big corporations, who did not deserve a tax break. The people being annoyed at the intrusion and wanting to get on to American Idol or Entertainment Tonight said yes this is a good idea, besides the newly elected “One”, Barrack Obama, promised us tax cuts (95%), so we will give the thieves more of our money, because we will have our tax cuts paid for by the 5% and Big Corporations who do deserve tax cuts. We will have lots of money from those tax breaks (95%) so we can afford to help the thieves bailout cities, states and big corporations, Thus came true the prediction that fact is stranger than fiction and the United States Of America became the Socialist States of America, Latin America, and Mexico.
