(72 posts)It think it's obvious that the Clinton's (and a significant portion of people doing well in this country) have been acting like bad cops.
Getting paid for speeches given to corporations, bankers, hedge funders, corrupt countries, etc., it's all just they way the game is played. And it's just one example. If you play it right, you get the power, you get to call the shots, you get the spoils--everybody's doing it, gaming the world they operate in for their own selfish gain. It's why Hillary's answer to Anderson Cooper's question about why she took money from _____--"It's what they offered." The response presumes American's to be conscienceless in the face of such a large, though dubious windfall--who would turn down the money? Isn't that what she believes? Everybody's doing it! Right, help yourself to a heaping dish of moral hazard, and this is just one example (and the Clinton's are not alone).
So the Clinton's are bad cops, and they've pulled us over and seized our cash, because they can, because the have "a gun" on them, because they aint breaking any laws... what are you gonna do about it? They've been waiting for their pay days, and they maxed out all the opportunities. I find it disgusting.
I imagine a new poster for America. It's Uncle Sam and all he represents, but instead of thrusting his pointer finger at you and saying, "I want you..." he's flipping you off, and the caption nows reads, "What are you gonna do about it..."
