What exactly has Obama done for the little guy?

Is cap and trade going to help the little guy? If General Electric thinks it's a grand idea, then I have my doubts.

Is taxing big American corporations going to help the little guy? Only if you think paying more for goods and services while your job moves overseas is helping.

And while universal health care is a lovely idea, it looks more and more like a redistribution of the wealth scheme. Just ask a little guy who is forced to buy insurance or pay a fine if it's helping him.

BTW, where did all of the stimilus money go? Ain't nobody sent me a nickle yet. Reckon the big boys are still hoarding it.

Obama is playing the class warfare game. He talks about how he's going to help the poor, then attempts to enact policies that will hurt the little guy the worst.

Now I can't lay everything at Obama's feet, it's congress who writes the laws. And the politicians have a history of calling a bill one thing while it does exactly the opposite. Their corporate sponsors get a big kick out of it.

Kind of like the new and improved candy bar. When you open it up you find the candy bar is smaller, the only thing new and improved is the package it comes in.

The name of the game is the same...ante up fellers.
