Apathy

Well, now that April 15th is behind us, Obama thought that it was safe to bring out his Cabinet members from hiding and have a Cabinet meeting.
Speaking of Cabinet members (and tax evaders), brings up the issue of Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury. Geithner said that we're going to have "a new capitalism". What does that mean ? Capitalism is capitalism, anything else is not capitalism. Besides having problems with the IRS, why is he being allowed to give preferential treatment to Goldman Sachs in New York ? Is it because of his close ties to Goldman Sachs (having been CEO of the banking company) ?
Everyone screamed when Haliburton got government contracts and said that being that Cheney had once been its CEO, that was why they were given those contracts. However, when Geithner openly does a similar action... no one says a word. Do we have a double standard for Democrats and Republicans or is it just apathy on the part of the people ?
A good guess might be that the American people don't really care any longer. They keep voting in virtually the same Congress that caused all of our problems.
A great example of the public's apathy is that on April 15th, there were "tea parties" all over the nation to supposedly protest "Taxation Without Representation". Most of these parties were merely social events and had nothing to do with taxes. The government watched this display and worried that it might escalate into a tax revolt; but after everyone went home, not a word about excessive and poorly spent taxes was heard and Congress breathed a sigh of relief.
This is just another example of how we're letting this administration collapse this country.
It is said that Bush killed this country and Obama is burying it.
If you're not doing anything about this...you deserve what is happening to you and your pocket.
