Barney Frank wants a moratorium on wall street bonuses

Can this Massachusetts socialist ever keep his mouth shut? He's now revealing the full intentions of a democratic agenda if Obama becomes president. Punish wealth, success, and take away any incentive to do well.

Democrats hate wealth

The dems are so confident of an Obama victory that they're not even being coy. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts liberal who heads the house financial services committee, said explicitly that the rich would be punished through higher taxes that will pay for more government programs. It's interesting that the dems always whine about the deficit under Bush but apparently have no problem with the deficit if it's used for their programs. There is no doubt that democrats, with Obama as president, will punish wealth and success.

The Rescue on Main Street

Frustration and anger are two feelings that come bubbling forth from my gut as I watch the drama unfold in regard to the rescue plan for our financial system being deliberated before my eyes. At the heart of the matter sit the two Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE's) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The utter disregard for the facts by the mainstream television and print media, Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd completely amazes me.
