Anyone that thinks you can make more money off one party over the other, is a complete idiot. Probably why most that think this way are Republicans.

Both parties over the last 2 decades have sold the system as fine and pointed at all the wealth that was being created. Rising property prices, rising share values, low employment and good wages. But it's now clear the house was built on sand.
It took very little to bring it crashing down, banks were over stretched, shares were not worth what we were told, jobs are disappearing and many are taking a cut in wages. But no problems, I just heard that all the companies begging the President for a hand out will only be allowed to pay their top execs $500K a year. Plus their wives, children and who ever else they can get on the pay roll.
Yes those who led us into this mess are not going to suffer.
