3 Responses to “Democrats: People Who Have Swiss Bank Accounts Totally Make Hurricane Katrina Worse”
In the rush to convince his readers that the Democrats are playing the ‘Katrina’ card (which the quoted statement doesn’t do), he conveniently glosses over the first two examples given, that of building American bridges and creating American jobs. ‘Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain’.
The Swiss bank account ‘job creaters’ are in fact creating jobs…in Sri Lanka, India, China, Maylasia, Brazil, Honduras, etc., etc. But not here.
“I’ve never known a Swiss bank account to build an American bridge, a Swiss bank account to create American jobs or Swiss bank accounts to build the levies to protect the people of New Orleans,” O’Malley said on ABC News’s “This Week.”
Of course, this gets to the core of the mentality that animates the political party of the Deadbeat Community: the notion that that money sitting in that bank account somehow is the common property of a government that wants to build a bridge somewhere, or create some jobs somewhere, or to build levies in the (largely) rancid cesspool that is New Orleans outside of the tourist areas.
As your comment gets to the core of the mentality that ‘the government’ is out to take everybody’s money, whether the information supports that view or not. Never let facts get in the way of a good Narrative.
None of the quotes cited mention the government in any way. So that part is just your overactive imagination. The point being made is that money in US banks is at least available to those who build wish to borrow it for building bridges, maintain levies, and otherwise providing employment for Americans. Money in Switzerland is not so available.
For a man campaigning on being a ‘job creator’ who understand how to ‘get Americans working again’, one would think that Romney might at least make a minimal good-faith effort to put his money where his rhetoric is. But in the end it’s all just smoke and mirrors to seduce the public into thinking he cares. He doesn’t mean a word of it.
