Republicans protecting the wealthy

I so get what the Republicans are trying to do to us. McCain and his neocons are stalling the process because they'd rather sacrifice a few of their own then allow any protections for John Q. Public. Hell, what do they care? They get to swallow up the companies for pennies on the dollar and then reap the profits later. We need to stand up against this before its too late and the top 5 percent become the top .5 percent.
I can hear Cheney now (and his supporters) when reminded they're hurting 95 percent of Americans: So?

"....what our economic society requires is a complete overhaul which I’ve outlined extensively in my prior essays. More immediately, our top priority should be to stimulate the ‘lower&acir c;€™ economy comprised of lower to middle income earners by substantially increasing our income so that we’ll be able to once again purchase products and services – this includes the ability to demand more loans from financial institutions that we’ll be able to make payments on without defaulting. The federal government should use $150 billion dollars to purchase the toxic assets of financial institutions in an attempt to minimally recapitalize them (outlined in another of my essays), thus matching the surviving financial institution suppliers with adequate capital to an economy currently in the throes of an income crisis. The remainder of the $700 billion dollars should then be used to create jobs in new green industries, infrastructure projects (investment in the nation’s capital stock), and in building a modern 21st century electric grid that would be able to connect to the newly created green energy renewable output supplying homes and businesses." by Ray Pairan Jr.
