what exactly do you think this proves/means?

almost everyone wants to end corruption in big banks and in Washington... republicans, democrats, anyone who isn't benefitting from the corruption.

unfortunately, that gets tied together with taxing rich people because they are rich, the redistribution of wealth and giving more power to gov't somehow. And anyone that doesn't want those things is suddenly in favor of corruption in Washington/Banks.

Cleveland is just the loser with no friends that is hoping that the big kids will notice him if he goes and punches the big bully and maybe they'll eat lunch with him...

If you read the resolution, it calls to raise taxes on everyone not just the rich. It calls for the end of the Bush tax cuts which cut taxes on individuals in the lowest tax brackets.

It is basically a resolution to increase government size and increase taxes. Not sure I would reward the government with another 5% of my revenue given their recent record managing money.

And the reason more "big banks" havent been prosecuted is because they havent broken any laws. They followed the guidelines established by Congress.

EDIT: I actually may not be as well verse as to the laws big banks broke. The more I think about it, the more it must be obvious that laws where broken, otherwise there would not be a movement to prosecute. Shift, can you please provide us a list of laws that where broken that have yet to be prosecuted?

while I'm definitely on your side in this, dave, it's funny how the spin campaigns go with one side claiming the other is pro-corruption and the other being labeled socialist

No, it was you constantly saying you wanted to move to America.

But again, why bump a thread and quote a post that isn't the post where you say you predicted something?
