Want to Prevent Another AIG? Let the Sunshine In

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS – by Meg White

The fact that Americans are mad as hell has not escaped the media or government. Indeed, it seems that everyone is racing to be first to tell the American people where to direct their rage.

Blame AIG! Those greedy bastards are already sucking us dry and giving our money to foreign banks, and then they take millions in bonuses for the very employees that precipitated this crisis in the first place.

Blame Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT)! He wrote in a change to the stimulus bill that allowed the AIG bonuses to be paid.

      The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
     

    Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."
     
    What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.
