[quote=briansd1]Ideology aside, let’s look at reality for a minute. The big banks already got the bailouts. Shouldn’t they be required to pay back something for the bailouts?
The Tea Party is saying “don’t tax or regulate the banks notwithstanding the bailouts they receive. They should get a free ride.”
OWS is saying “let’s make the banks payback the benefits they received.”[/quote]
I appreciate the reality of the situation as you describe. Would be nice to undo what was done, but more important to make sure we aren’t in a position to have to bail them out again in the future.
That is an interesting quote “don’t tax or regulate the banks notwithstanding the bilsouts they receive. They should get a free ride.” Talk about putting words in someone’s mouth. You actually quoted the entire Tea Party there without actually listing a source of the quote. When you make a strawman argument, you don’t mess around. You actually throw in a quote that was never actually said.
Somehow the Tea Party went from a concept of reducing government waste to supporting bank bailouts and lobbying banks to do whatever the hell they want. A true marketing/PR disaster for them, it seems.
