Now as an example, you keep pointing to "obama took money from wall street" presumably to infer some sort of corruption. I'm pretty sure you don't recognize the ad hominem (once removed) inherent in that statement. But let me spell it out for you.
Actually, no, that is more incidental.
What is more significant is Obama's preference for appointing high-roller wall street executives to most of they key positions on his economic team. I find it a bit difficult to believe that people who worked in high ranking positions for the mega banks their entire lives are going to be inclined to turn around and push through policies that could ruin all their friends and buddies back in New York. Even they even try there's the potential for some social ostracism and to make enemies out of their previous acquaintances, and there's very few human beings alive who will support the greater good at the cost of ostracism and personal well being (due to the fact that the revolving door will shut in their faces).
Chalk it up to a lack of faith in human beings, especially because its been found time and time again that the people who make it to the top of the corporate organization are far less principled and empathetic than the rest of humanity. And most of the rest of humanity are already bastards.
And for news like Geithner's claims that a crackdown on Wall Street is coming? I'd like to believe it, I really would. But as his entire career has been spent advocating their interests I'll believe it when I see it.
EDIT:
Hey Tocky, I found lulz-worthy link regarding that Herman Cain tax plan you mentioned:

Ad hominem.
See, this is easy.
Now go the fuck away.

same shit, diff. era mah brother. Da man did the same thing in the 70's oppressing and stamping the ones that protested a blood war in Vietnam. It happened again with blood for oil under the murdering Bush, and before that with those that fought for freedom for the blacks.
The man runs news, and the news always shall show the righteous to be dirty and filthy, yet shall shed no light on the truth they attest to.

Please, just stick to sucking cocks. It's the only interaction you should worry yourself about when it comes to "da man".
And maybe keeping your mouth full of jizz will finally shut you up.
... or start posting something intelligent, instead of inane mantra as if from a parody written by a retarded child, for a change.

I told you guys, he's a muppet :P
Can one of the admins do an IP check and prove me right or wrong?
Also, getting really tired of this "we are the 99%" thing. I understand the idea, but the implicit implication seems to be "if you're in the 1% you are a BAD PERSON, it's us vs. them" which is kind of bullshit.
