McCain, Bush, Keating, Cheney, Paulson, we could go on...

It is difficult for nearly anyone to fully grasp the repercussions of the current economic fallout. Most people don't know or understand the story of when, how, who, where, and why it took shape. We all want to know and understand, but it's complexity is beyond the scope of most people.

What I can say is that it is going to be a very bumpy ride for quite a long time for many. I believe we are at a tipping point of our current process of capitalism, as we know it. As a democratic society we are instituting much more of an elitist socialist process and an increasingly more restricted political process likened much more to communistic or dictatorship style governance.

This is all being done through elected officials?! such irony...

Right before our eyes we are seeing the definitive aspects of our democratically elected, capitalistic society that for a period of time, in the 1940's-1960's to much of the world's view, our country was the envy and forward leading nation on the planet. There was a respect that was earned for its time with the creation of community and societal programs such as Medicare, or Social Security, and unemployment benefits, and other social or entitlement programs available. It seemed that people actually cared about other people for a while.

That is until Reagan took office and Republican party began their "Me, me, me" policies shrouded with the religious rhetoric to make people think they are doing the right thing.

The funny thing is the history of the Republican party began with the leftist and in the late 1800's and early 1900'2 turned to the right. Now, there is no more right to turn to. Te party has become as far right as anyone can get. This has alienated many of the party as they can see some of the colors of the coat as it is taken off and exposed through the terribly run campaign from McCain, as well as, the Bush campaigns and failed administration.

But, we will see as history begins to unfold in the future that the past thirty years or so of Republican party players have raped and pillaged the American people of their money and rights to a point of quiet dictatorship and socialist elitism. This distribution of wealth that McCain seems to tout daily has been exemplified by what has transpired through his actions, Bush, Bernanke, Paulson, Cheney, and many others. I'm sure their off shore accounts are now filled to the brim with green. Their Bailout or Rescue plans have given billions to the top 1% right in front of everyone. All the while they tout they are doing it all for the taxpayer...

Thanks, I feel better already...
