The U.S is up for sale
President Bush and wealthy donors are sparing no expense for his second inauguration party. Besides the ceremony itself, there will a parade with 11,000 people, floats, vehicles and horses. There will be nine fancy dress balls and assorted receptions, rock concerts and candle-light dinners.
How much is this Presidential Bash going to cost? Well, the inaugural committee plans to spend $40 million -- the most ever.
So who’s picking up the tab for the Bush bash? Believe it or not Corporate America and her corrupt criminal friends are fighting for a chance to donate money to this inauguration party.The wealthy it seems, are buying access and loyalty through giving large contributions (this sounds alot like the mafia, with George W. Bush as the God Father making alliances with thieves who are selling their souls to the devil himself). Looks a lot like what we have seen before -- time are getting worse, and now with the political conventions and other things. The government right now is up for sale.
We’re seeing some Pioneers and Rangers (Some old corrupt officials and some new guys trying to get their hands on that dirty blood money) -- the big fundraisers for Bush. Among the companies we are seeing are Texas companies and energy companies ( which should be of no surprise, after all Bush has made the state of Texas the most POLLUTED state in the U.S by thawrting all the environmental laws in favor of these energy companies).
While direct corporate contributions to political campaigns are barred by law, inaugural committee contributions are one way companies can legally spend very large amounts in order to MAKE FRIENDS in high places happy.
ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum and Southern Company all kicked in $250,000 each. The companies hope the administration will PUSH STALLED ENERGY SUBSIDY LEGISLATION.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! "There are some bad people on the right, they're saving their own skins by ruining peoples lives" --Morrissey.
Financial services firms Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and HSBC gave a total of $375,000. They have a strong interest in president Bush's plan for private social security accounts.
Dawn Arnall, co-chairperson of Ameriquest Capital, gave $250,000 to the inaugural, and her company and its subsidiaries gave $750,000. Last year she gave $5 million to the pro-Bush Progress for America fund, which produced television commercials for the Bush campaign. Ameriquest specializes in sub-prime mortgages in minority neighborhoods and is seeking federal standards that would supersede tougher laws in several states.
The wealthy here are buying access through giving large contributions. And it looks a lot like what we have seen before -- with the political conventions and other things. It looks like a government for sale.
Some commentators, even conservatives and friends who supported President Bush's re-election, question the appropriateness of a lavish inaugural in wartime.
This president -- who spoke of ‘morality’ to the voters, is undermining his moral standing by making a giant party for RICH people, while our soldiers continue to battle and die in Iraq for reasons unknown to the American public, Bush and his RICH FRIENDS have a 40 million dollar party.
WAKE UP AMERICA !!! this country is for sale ... can I take a bid please ?
