Wonder why POS Bush didn't mention "Ownership Society" in his SOTU?

Could THIS have something to do with it?




Homeownership is already back down to 2001 levels. The way things are going, we'll be at mid-90's levels before he leaves office...

1. Exactly why
He made speeches about the "ownership society" , linking it to home ownership

...and everything he wanted done to help people own homes...to include making home loans easier to get

2. Mission accomplished, baby
He and his greedy cronies have swiped everything that wasn't nailed down, no need to talk about "ownership" anymore. They already own everything worth owning.

3. "Ownership society" is right-wing shorthand for "slavery".
Sheesh, those assholes really want their slaves back...

Think about it; were we not an 'ownership society' before B*sh started trumpeting the phrase? Were we not allowed to own personal property or something? What the hell else do the Repukes want to own that they aren't able? The only answer is PEOPLE.
