Karl Rove, Crossroads GPS and the GOP are the epitome of what the Occupy movement is against - big money attempting to buy elections. They are carpetbaggers, they are all banana Republicans.

@quizerry

???

What does that have to do with my question? I asked where was it she said that we do not deserve anything we have worked for

[quizerry]

@MrCredulousDolt In my opinion Bush failed by not not dissolving Fannie and Freddie when he had the chance and now Obama has failed by giving them unlimited funds of our money ($150 billion and counting) and their CEOs big bonuses. You think the last financial bubble was bad? Just wait, the next one will be far worse with Dodd/Frank in place. As far as Warren she may have good intentions but her solutions are wrong that is well noted by major economist.

@MrCredulousDolt I agree Bush and all must take some so should all of Congress and the Fed. We didn't put ourselves $15 trillion in debt they did. Over the past decade both parties had huge deficit spending, both parties looked the other way at the banks and supported Fannie and Freddie, both parties expanded gov, both parties added hundreds of new subsidies, both are to blame for the bad economy and both supported wars. Obama is just Bush on steroids.

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry You know what, I apologize: you have some kind of cognitive deficit, and I wrote all that long-winded stuff before. very unkind of me. 

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry Second,nothing you, or any other BushRoveCheneyBot will ever say will change the plain, simple fact that Bush's obsessions with warfare, privatization, and deregulation brought about the precise conditions under which your poor, poor banks *needed* to be taken over. Having been given free rein to market toxic products, and to hide and to defray their risk by any means, however unethical, these banks perpetrated the biggest fraud in this country, ever, and Bush bailed them out. Nice.

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry The fact that Warren was on the oversight panel is not a criticism of Warren. Her job was oversight, not creation; and she called out the scam for what it was. So far, you're an excellent character reference in spite of yourself.

[quizerry]

@11111110 And if her logic of people’s obligation to society based on the benefits they receive were to be applied equally, how would she justify supporting generations of welfare recipients whose make zero contribution to society? Sorry I have read much of Ms. Warren views, I think she has a big heart and is a nice person but she is totally clueless about economics or investment banking.

[quizerry]

Her thought process is bizarre.Like her philosophical view the rich got rich by using our public roads, education, fire and police the rest of us paid for? Ok so did they also get rich by us paying for other government benefits like medicare and SS? And this is about raising federal income tax on the rich when roads are pd for by fuel tax, education, police and fire are pd for through property tax. So raising fed income tax doesn't go to roads, education, fire or police. She is goofy.

[quizerry]

Sorry but Ms. Warren can't guarantee a permanent job when you get a mortgage loan. The banks may have played a part of the housing meltdown but so did Congress and the Fed. If the Fed was so smart they would have slowed the bubble by raising interest rates. The basic truth is this Government & individuals were living beyond their means and our economic problems come from massive debt and overspending. We individuals get it. Government does not! 2011 deficit spending $1.4 trillion.
