Now he says he wants to crack down on Wall Street?

In the Fayetteville Observer, Congressman Etheridge said he wants to crackdown on Wall Street. He says we “need to focus on the needs of average working people instead of corporate special interests.”

But who took nearly half a million bucks from Wall Street, bankers and the Insurance industry? Bob Etheridge.

Etheridge says we have to pass new laws to “put consumers and local communities first over the interests of Wall Street’s big banks.” But who voted to exempt Wall Street from regulation of their risky derivatives?

 

Etheridge says, “We must end taxpayer-funded bailouts, make big banks accountable for their own failures and give regulators the tools they need to put the interests of middle-class Americans first.” But who voted for the seven hundred billion dollar Wall Street bailout? And who voted to give the International Monetary Fund the American taxpayers’ money to be spent to bailout Greece to protect the banks once again?

The answer is Congressman Etheridge. He has been in elected office, practicing politics as usual, for thirty five years. He tells constituents one thing when he campaigns at home, but he votes much differently when he is in Washington. And now he wants us to reelect him again?
