Solyndra, the gift that keeps on giving

     This just keeps getting better (worse?, I suppose it depends on where you stand). Just when the Resident is getting rolling on his "Fuck Those Rich Bastards" new tax plan it comes to light that Obama's billionare bundler, and Solyndra Big-Shooter, George Kaiser hasn't paid taxes in, oh, quite a few years.  From the Washington Examiner article  (which is a must-read);

"As Allison describes it in his Sunlight post today, "in one six year period, during which he increased his net worth enough to land him on the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, Kaiser reported taxable income to the Internal Revenue Service just once, totaling $11,699--equivalent to a full-time hourly wage of $5.62."

     Small wonder that he needed a half billion dollar loan for Solyndra, the poor bastard was making less than minimum wage!


      Meanwhile the Resident continues his bi-polar campaign by bashing Wall Street at every opportunity while his Big Money backers are shaken down for huge quantities of cash; see this MSNBC article. Odd how one can slander and vilify the monied classes and at the same time be at their beck and call. Sort of like biting the hand that feeds you. You would think the man has no principles at all.  Oops, I just remembered that he is both a lawyer and a politician and is thus excluded from principles on two counts. I am sure he has principals that he is beholdened too, but principles (alas), none to be seen.
