SCARY!

This guy should not only be thoroughly investigated for his part in the current financial mess but please, PLEASE Massachusetts find someone else and vote this guy out of office!!!


His last line just scares the crap out of me, I mean why would I ever want to be rich any more when idiots like him in our government can casually say "there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of this money". When you add that line to one he said earlier in that clip about screw the deficit, lets spend and spend and spend some more....we're in trouble. He's the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and if you're wondering just what that committee does...well here you go - it oversees the entire financial services industry, including the securities, insurance, banking, and housing industries.

Where are we having problems....sound familiar?

If I was to ever be in a position to run for office or lobby someone in office there are just two things I'd like to see passed:

1. Term limits. Being a politician is NOT a career, get a job and see how the people you're supposed to be representing really live. Two or Three terms is more than enough, either move up or move out!

2. No more of this crap of politicians voting in their own pay raises. Instead of managing their own raises I would require them to be tied to the same percent that gets passed for the military. If a 3.9% for 2009(which is pretty high for us) is good enough for the men and women protecting our freedom, it's darn well good enough for the fat cats sitting on the hill. Oh and if you were wondering how much they make, well here is a snapshot from 2006. Think they earned it? I don't!
