At the end of the day, as Spock says in that scene from Star Trek, "The Good of the many outweighs the good of the few or the one." The Bush sponsored bailouts were originally designed to help out the few to the expense of the many. We know what the founding fathers would have made of these bailouts from their action at the Boston Tea Party and their declaration that "There shall be no taxation without representation." Basically, assigning such a staggering debt to American tax payers that we will be paying on for centuries as Bush and his henchmen did, without giving the American people the right to vote on it at the polls in November was a very grievous example of modern "taxation without representation" done by the wealthy and power elite in this nation. |
Spock says "Needs" not "Good"
|
Needs or goods same deal imo. The point is neither the needs or the well-being of the poorer ie. majority of the people in this country were being met under Bush and they wouldn't have been under Mccain. Whereas Bush's bailouts were engineered to be good for the few, Obama's plans are to help the majority of the people and that's the big difference right there.

I Really don't think Spock was talking about the economy either
|
No, he was talking about what is in general good for the majority of the people and Conservative Republican policies haven't been that lately and many would say they weren't really even that way under Reagan.
|
thats fine, im not talking about politics right now, i just want you to make sure you use Star Trek quotes properly
|
I'm sorry if I messed up the quote. I've never been very big into Star Trek. I respect it, but I was always more into Star Wars and then Final Fantasy.

Star Wars is also good, never really got into FF, apart from XI online
