Santelli Sreaming for Sanity and ACTION!!

Rick Santelli this morning on bubblevision (CNBC)



Let's get it on, people

For those with ears to hear and eyes to see, the time to effectively and peacefully act is running perilously short...

From Denninger:

Let's be clear here: There is no way out of this box, and the corruption and fraud have permeated every corner of our financial, media and governmental systems.

We give "free" education and health care to illegal aliens, paid for out of citizen tax dollars. Our government supports this.

We propose to give "foreclosure relief" to people who lied on their mortgage applications; how many of the so-called "rescue" programs would have ANY uptake among the public if as part of the refinance or assistance process the original paperwork was re-underwritten to discover if you lied, and if you did, you were prosecuted instead of being helped?

We have done exactly nothing to indict and prosecute the banking executives, the housing industry executives and others in the business world who contributed to these lies and frauds, in some cases explicitly.

The Congresspeople who got "special deals" from Countrywide Financial (and others) on their mortgages remain in office and are not being charged and tried for what, in my opinion, amounts to public corruption. The amounts involved here are not small - the "savings" in many cases ran into the tens of thousands of dollars.

and...

We learned that government employees are also profligate tax cheats! Not only the high-profile ones like Geithner and Daschle either - this is an across-the-board problem:

The Internal Revenue Service is trying to collect billions of dollars in unpaid taxes from nearly half a million federal employees. According to IRS records, 171,549 current federal workers did not voluntarily pay their federal income taxes in 2007. The same is true for 37,752 active duty military and nearly 200,000 retired civilian and military personnel. Documents obtained by WTOP through the Freedom of Information Act show 449,531 federal employees and retirees did not pay their taxes for a total of $3,586,784,725 in taxes owed last year.

What?! Oh, and with the exception of the IRS, you can't be fired as a government employee for not paying your taxes either. You can't make stuff like this up folks - nobody would believe you.

How much of this are you gonna take before you ACT??!!??

Wow this guys sounds like many of us here.


It's starting to happen......

Are you ready?

I can sense it.

The people I work with are getting scared. For a long time they didn't pay much attention to what I was trying to tell them.

They are paying attention now. Everyone is finally starting to see how much we've all been cheated and lied to.

They are angry...and they are scared.

We are at a tipping point....i can feel it.

If our government doesn't shape up fast it's going to be very ugly.

I can't believe I'm saying things like this...it's blowing my mind as I type these words.

Is revolution on the way??

BIG S & F from me!

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country...the producers, the creators, the constitutionalists, the libertarians, the free market capitalists...who are getting ready to just pick up their tools and go home....Want socialism? You can have it, and good luck.....There are entire geographical regions that are contemplating the political and real world ramifications of pulling away from this federal government...and that's where these people will go....to live in peace and prosperity... without tyrannical federal intervention....and yes, there will be blood, but we the people have successfully faced these odds before....read my signature.

About time somebody beside us the regular joes in ATS complains publicly, see nobody listen to us, but people when they use the media to communicate frustrations, bring awareness and open peoples eyes they become enemies of the state and the Establishment.

Because people will then listen.

Santelli is a Patriot. This man has time and time again spoken for the "silent majority" - the real Americans.

Did you listen to and SEE those anchors?? They were truly scared by him and the "mob" behind him. Sic the National Guard on him??? These guys probably had to change their diapers after listening to him LOL

Awesome stuff!!!

voted YES

I would get in on that tea party.

I just went down to my bank after seeing this and pulled my savings. We are below Octobers lows in the markets. Better safe than sorry.


The whole inspiration for this was Santellis rant. Its obvious there is no common sense with a lean toward socialism in the Govt. Thats not what made us the greatest country on the planet.

This video is being played and replayed literally across the world...He has been on bubblevision (CNBC) all day today saying he's gonna make it (Chicago Tea Party) happen...this has the potential to be absolutely huge....I'll see you all in Chicago.

That clip is the number 1 video on youtube.

It's definitely making the rounds.

It was nice to finally see someone go off on all of this.

Finally, someone spoke up on television.

I hope more come forward with the balls this guy had.

If you guys want to meet me in person, I'll be at the "Chicago Tea Party".

I have liked Rick Santelli for a long time, he calls it like he sees it. It's a breath of fresh air for cnbc to have him on.

damn that was pretty good the media are such pawns cept for rick and some occasional gems out of PBS .....the mortgage package at 275 billion is chump change though compared to the 3 or 4 trillion required to take toxic debt off banks balance sheets and China says don't you dare make us get fair value for that stuff (seriously)

www.tickerforum.org...

this is the jist of the political tug of war right now

China is trying to apply the choke hold to get U.S taxpayers or some other dupes to make sure they are gonna receive 100 on the toxic debt they hold of big banks ....and Geithner and administration are really wrestling with this....or tying to find a way to pull one over on the sheeple.........the CREDITORS ARE calling ......should the american taxpayers not be ordered to bend over by our Gov't ....then the chinese may stop buying our debt or are bluffing...this is why FANNIe and freedie were saved like they were b/c of China and Japan would stop lending to us.......and were gonna need someone to finance our big deficit for the next few years......or perhaps we can throw our foreign creditors the money and let the fed monetize (buy) the debt directly

i wonder if China, Japan hold and leverage over OPEC and would they be willing to really piss of the U.S .....because if nothing else we may Send them a Bomb or twenty thousand ......this has the making of potential wAR

Well with 8.5 trillion in Bailouts America has essentially paid off their collective mortgage...And yet we continue to pay them...Thieves.

finally was able to listen

santelli says do you really think i want to have to take a shower every hour! WOW

They are all so Dirty aren't they rick .....not just blaggo

Thay have gotten to all of you. Santelli is an idiot. Of all people he should realize why we have to take these actions. Same with the bozozs in the trading pits. All they know is how to take advantage of folks to further their own means. They are just afraid they won't be able able to buy 2nd and 3rd homes and investment profits even further below true value.

They refuse to look at what happens if you let these 10 million+ foeclose on their homes. It will lead to another 10 million and then another 10 million foreclosures. No financial institution will survive. No insurance company survives. No brokerage survives. All thes efolks will be on the unemployment lines. And when that happens all these same folks will be lining up thousands deep with their hands out to the goverment asking for help. Just think of the FDIC liability alone. It is pay now or pay much more a bit later. There is no easy way out.

What's ironic tis that hese are the same bozos that bought and sold your mortgage dozens of times over. and because of that there is no easy solution. I would prefer more help but this plan isn't a bad start.

Moral hazard my ass.

I and my family will drive the 1,200 miles to attend the tea party - guaranteed. We drove nearly that much last year to attend the kick off of the Campaign for Liberty in St. Paul.

Can we have Peter Schiff for President and Rick Santelli for VP??? Please?????
Starred and flagged! Everyone needs to send the link to the poll and video out to their email lists. That is what I just did.

My Entire readership knows now. I made certain of it. I'm am so happy to finally see the market ACT in a fashion befitting Americans.

To presidents and KINGS the American model has always been "Kiss My Ass!"

You people just don't get it do you? It's Obama's time to rule. It's his time to take from those that have and give it to those that refuse to work.

There is nothing you can do about it. It will happen. You might as well say Who's John Gault and be done with it folks.... This is who they elected. You either come into the fold or be killed for non-conformity.
