This article demonstrates that Lou Dobbs is an idiot or extremely naive. Look Lou, Calvin Coolidge wasn't blowing smoke up our asses when he said "The Business of America is Business". That's what the most important Americans hold as the core mantra of their raison d'etre. Don't kid yourself that politicians at any level really give a rat's ass about your job. They only care about their job and their immediate family. There is no altruistic concern for their constituents. They do care to the extent that they want to get re-elected and will say whatever it takes for that to happen. Lou's correct that the Dems and GOP don't change the economic policy. They change laws that affect taxation and that affects me by raising my property taxes, phasing out tax breaks while giving me new ones. In the end I pay just a little more overall in taxes but the illusion of a tax break is enough for some to believe that one or the other party is 'on their side'. When a politician says that they care about 'the unborn', 'the poor', the 'overburdened tax payer' it's all bulls**t. They are only saying what will keep them in office. It's not the office in itself that's important, it's the side benefits that they reap from the payoffs, bribes, gifts, connections and post term jobs that they will be able to get. It's not about the constituents it's about who pays them the most when they are asking for money. If serving your country in congress was a job that provided a daily stipend that did not exceed the cost of 3 meals and the cost of a room at a Marriot. That didn't allow you come in with or leave with any more money in your personal accounts that wasn't accounted for by inheritance then you might get a few honest men and women in that august body. Until then your going to get the criminals, perverts, miscreants and liars that populate DC. Until Lou grows up and realizes that the elites in this country have never thought of this country as a great and noble experiment in democracy, the way that those that strive to create a little bit of something for themselves and their family from nothing. But that elites look on this land and "US" as nothing but the ends to their means.

I've had a woody on for lou Dobbs ever since this came out: Dobbs: Populist tide has elitists running scared It cuts a little too close to home and so the messenger must be demonized.
