do it, do it

Go on and do it, do it,

Do it 'til you're satisfied,

Whatever it is, do it,

Do it 'til you're satisfied.

People know just what they'd like to do,

Whatever it is, you've got it, 'long as it pleases you.

Make it last as long as you can,

When you're through it's up to you to try it again. (“Do It Till You’re Satisfied”, BT Express)

Senator Lindsey Graham, senior senator from South Carolina a ‘Taxpayer Hero’ who puts the interests of the taxpayer ahead of politics by constantly voting to cut wasteful spending, reduce the tax burden, and make government more accountable to taxpayers. (official Lindsey Graham United States Senator, South Carolina web site)

It's really American to avoid paying taxes, legally,"  Senator Lindsey Graham (R) South Carolina said, adding, "As long as it was legal, I'm OK with it. I don't blame anybody for using the tax code to their advantage. I blame us for having it so complicated and confused. Pick a rate and make people pay it." Lindsey Graham, American, defending the financial actions of Willard Mitt Romney, another true American regarding Mr. Romney’s overseas banking record.

A candidate running for president and a leading senator demanding that any action taken to not pay taxes is as American as apple pie, baseball and motherhood. Two men, one currently in office and one wanting run for the highest office in this nation have decided that if its legal why not do it, you know, till you’re satisfied!

And we are told that the reason we are so up in arms about Mitt Romney’s off shore bank accounts, his mysterious minions of millions floating around the Caribbean under his wife’s name, his swiss miss accounts is because socialism is spreading, like locust and successful men are being punished for being---well successful.  We are lectured to that only the jealous, the lazy, the inept, the socialist loving anti-American would question the wise financial wisdom projected by Mr. Romney by doing what he needed to, to---well avoid paying taxes.

Whatever happened to fair dealing

And pure ethics

And nice manners?

Why is it everyone now is a pain in the Ass?

Whatever happened to class? (“Class”, Kander and Ebb)

Jealous, me, nope, hope Mr. Romney enjoys every last cent he has earned. I wish him the ability to purchase 5 more homes if he wishes, a dozen more horses for his Olympic competitor wife Ann, and as many elevators in as many homes for his enumerable amount of automobiles. And if Mitt was just an ordinary member of the 1% I might not even notice his inability to help out the American economy by stuffing his money elsewhere. But Mitt is running for president. Angry, yep, very angry that the arrogance with which he and the red, white and blue senator from South Carolina seem to think sending money off shore is like pledging allegiance to our flag. There is no law against lying or cheating as long as you don’t place your hand on the Bible in a court of law. But then again, who is going to know you lied in the first place and weren’t your fingers crossed anyway!

Whatever happened to Please may I

And Yes thank you

And How charming?

Now every son of a bitch

Is a snake in the grass

Whatever happened to class? (“Class”, Kander and Ebb)

We have watched as celebrities have risen from something as simple as sex tapes. We have witnessed as journalists are quoted not based on the facts they represent, but the bogus they brag about. And beginning with the election of 2010 we have found that the further from the middle you travel, the longer list of enemies you have added, the disregard for the concern of many, the restriction of rights based on your own bigotry the more popular the politician. And now, with the wisdom of a senior senator and the man who would like to be president we hear morals don’t count as long as the action is legal. We are told fair share is for fools. We are told shut up stupid, you know you would do it if you could.

When does the do, it , do it till your satisfied end. When does class become recognizable once again in American politics. And when will we stop permitting those who care only for their own well being elected?
