Recipe for pro-Big Business legislation
Ingredients:
- One industry (in this case Banking/Financial Services) eager to further increase already huge profits.
- Hundreds of pro-big business GOP congresspeople like Sue Kelly. (The more the better.)
- Many heeping wheelbarrels full of corporate and special interest PAC campaign contributions. In the case of Sue Kelly, over $530,000 from 2003 to the present.
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients into one big feeding trough. Stir vigorously until the industry, GOP politicians and cash are all mixed into one big indistinguishable mess. Voila, you now have bankruptcy "reform." Do not heat or cook, just vote yes and serve it to the people raw because conservatives like Sue Kelly do not serve them and are of no concern to her. When the middle class is pushed one step closer to extinction, select another industry and mix up another batch.
