Pelosi, Reid and Obama care more about the average American than the rich?

Trillions of dollars have been allocated by The Central Committee. So far, "the rich" have started receiving hundred of billions... how much have Joe Six Pack received?
The Rich have and will continue to received huge sums all at once. The rest of us... if we see any benefits from either of the spending bills, it will be a trickle throughout the year.
Obama threatens to tax the payouts to the rich in retribution for paying bonuses to board members. These taxes may or may not happen. We know for a fact that the payout to the rest of us will be taxable income.
It seems to me that The Central Committee seems a lot more interested in making sure "the rich" are taken care of immediately, but the rest of us will just have to wait our turn.

Ted,
When things like this happen it drives me crazy, I believe alot of things that are coming out of Washington right now has been going on for centuries, we all know that all the politicians are corrupt in one way or another. They all run their own agenda. I am not going to make this a party arguement, but I will make this a political battle for the people. It is not about the dems or the repubs it is about getting away with what they can.
I have my own theories on the bail out which has turned into a dem and republican thing but of course I would critisized for saying something, but what the heck I am going to say it anyway. This massive bailout was presented to congress, it passed with only 3 republican votes. I understand that most of the dems voted for it an only a few repubs. There are only a couple of the repubs that said they would not except the money, others held out their hands asking when am I getting mine. If all the repubs truly didnt want the bailouts their wouldnt had been 40 percent of the earmarks from them. They did not have to put themselves on the line to vote for it because the dems control. I think it is a whole bunch of political BS and I am not talking about just any one party. I believe that the people we have in congress have been taking advantage of the people for many many years and this is nothing new. That does not mean that I accept the corruption as an American citizen it says that I am not blind to one party or the other.
