I guess unlike President Obama, the vice president has a better understanding of the similarities between Occupy Wall Street protestors and the Tea Party Movement. Or does he?
“There’s a lot in common with the Tea Party,” he said. “The Tea Party started, why? TARP. They thought it was unfair.”
Biden cited Bank of America’s recent decision to impose a $5 monthly fee on some debit card users as an example of new perceived unfairness related to the banking sector that has fueled more popular frustration.
Oh, I see. So Joe Biden can't differentiate between taxpayers' ire over the government forcibly taking their money and accumulating more debt in order to bail out banks that gambled recklessly and people angry over a private bank with literally thousands of competitors instituting a fee on debit card use that its customers could easily avoid by switching their accounts to a bank that doesn't charge the fee. What a sad statement about our government and markets.
