Democrats are the Tools of Billionaire Businessmen

Cap and Trade will put millions in the pockets of big business. How about you?

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T. Boone Pickens offered the following statement on passage of Waxman/Markey climate legislation entitled, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009:

“I congratulate Chairmen Waxman and Markey and the House leadership for taking important first steps in advancing the use of renewable energy in our nation’s power grid. The American public wants this, and they recognize the important role a Green Bank, Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) and transmission provisions will have in revitalizing our economy..."

Silverfiddle's Statement on the Passage of Tax and Slave:
You morons. A billionaire just patted you on the head for doing his bidding with my money and you are too stupid to realize it. Do you really think you can turn down the earth's temperature like a house thermostat? How will you know when you've got the temperature just right? When we're all living in caves and wearing loincloths because construction and manufacturing have been driven from the country?

How do you reduce dependence on foreign oil?

Use domestic oil! And gas! And coal! If your damned windmills were economically viable, T. Boone, you wouldn't have to be mooching my tax dollars to keep your Rube Goldberg scheme going.

"The People's House": Bought and Paid for by Big Business

The Democratic party, along with some ignoramuses in the GOP, just slit the throat of the American worker. Businesses deemed "dirty" or "ungreen" will simply move to where they don't have to put up with this statist BS. The Democratic party, and some of its associate members in the GOP, have just taken a giant crap on the little guy, the forgotten man, who can barely put gas in the tank and pay the light bill right now.

Can we now drop, once and for all, this liberal fantasy that the GOP is for big business and the Democrats are for the little guy? This legislation is worth millions to T. Boone Pickens. How much is it worth to you?

Senate Demotes Captains of Industry

The Captains of Industry Have Been Demoted.

General Motors has been busted all the way down to a buck private, conscripted into serving the corporatist state. Swarms of bureaucrats now infest every corner of American industry, and 535 shareholders will make GM and Chrysler rue the day they made their Faustian bargain.

Senators Blast Automakers
Empowered by the government's emerging ownership role, members of a Senate committee yesterday excoriated General Motors and Chrysler for their decisions last month to close more than 2,000 dealers.

Because the federal government is slated to own most of General Motors and 8 percent of Chrysler, some of the senators said they have a responsibility, as major shareholders do, to review company decisions.(Source: Washington Post)

Good luck trying to break those shackles, you corporate weasels! You brought this on yourselves: First by your irresponsible behavior, and then by your shameless groveling before the government. Obama owns you now; get on your knees where you belong, and recall the words of a great man:

When you get in bed with the government, don't be surprised if you get more than a good night's sleep.
-- Ronald Reagan
