Jeb Bush: "Wealth doesn't come from safe streets and good schools."

'Old One-Note', still banging his drum for unfettered privilege for the wealthy, in his keynote speech for the University of North Texas Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship luncheon at the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas...

And the more people confuse a Bush with leadership, the faster we fall.

I have a particular fondness for the word "and" myself.

They are attacking the unequal distribution of wealth since the Reagan deregulations, since the Bush tax cuts and since the unpaid for wars.

Fuck Jeb Bush - stop attempting to change the meme!!

and your party doesn't want any of those. (Well, truthfully, they are fine with more taxes on those who are not wealthy.) so how does coddling the wealthy provide those things?

ITS OWN "safe streeets and good schools" if it doesn't contribute to the common good through taxes and chooses instead gated communities and private schools.


TAXES provide safe public streets and good public schools.



Jeb Bush is a stupid fucking asshole.





Tansy Gold, is not

I believe he, and his damn family, know exactly what consequences the policies he proposes will have on the overwhelming majority of Americans.

He certainly knows what propaganda (i.e. bullshit) to catapult.

All for the wealthy elite which just so coincidentally includes his very own fucking family.

We already know his mother won't ever waste her "beautiful mind" on thinking about the little people and their struggles (even life and death ones).

The whole family is foul.

narco-wealth.

(i hope i spelled that right)

he's a bush born to privilege. heaven forbid we ever have another one anywhere close to the seat of power.

what he doesn't get is that the wealth of the USA was created by way, way more people than those who collect and hoard it now. like 99% more

oh wait, I bet he forgets that part

Economics 101. The part where each course talks about 'infrastructure' and its importance?

Jeb is out of line!

"Noblesse oblige" we will provide a better lifestyle for us all. Which is pure bullshit. Just look at history.

But we have dumbed down society enough that looking at history is seen as elitist.

:argh:

Heavily.

Th absolute last thing this country needs is another member of the Bush crime family spouting drivel.

How many safe streets & good schools have you built with your wealth, whistledick?

of his family. I guess the wealthy came to this country and built the roads and schools before it was settled.

:puke:

a frickin crony of the rich. He and his pitiful family show just how far from the hopes and vision of our founding Fathers one can get! He thinks, as do most of his ilk, that quality schools, security of home and health, and quality of life should be only kept for those who can afford it! What a sick, greedy, elitist Smuck! He does not have a SOUL!

:puke:

:dunce:

:rofl:

So how many good schools and safe streets have thirteen years of tax cuts given us?

Our infrastructure is falling apart, and the schools are being raped by private wealthy corporations for $$$$$


So much for that concept.

By his logic, we should all steal cars and jewelry from our neighbors, sell heroin at the elementary school and rob banks.

After all, greed trumps public safety, right?

"Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Jeb: Liaison to Anti-Castro Right

George Herbert Walker Bush's second eldest son, John Ellis or Jeb, was also linked to clandestine schemes in support of the Contras. Soon after congressional prohibition in late 1984, Jeb helped put a right-wing Guatemalan politician, Dr. Mario Castejon, in touch with Oliver North. Jeb acted as the Reagan Administration's unofficial link with the Contras and Nicaraguan exiles in Miami.

Jeb was contacted in February 1985 by a friend of Castejon, who gave him a letter from Castejon to be passed on to then Vice-President Bush. In his letter, Castejon, a pediatrician and later an unsuccessful National Conservative Party presidential candidate, requested a meeting with George Bush to discuss a proposed medical aid project for the Contras. Jeb forwarded the letter to his father. In a March 3, 1985, letter, VicePresident Bush expressed interest in Castejon's proposal to create an international medical brigade.

"I might suggest, if you are willing, that you consider meeting with Lt. Colonel Oliver North of the President's National Security Council Staff at a time that would be convenient for you," Bush wrote. "My staff has been in contact with Lt. Col. North concerning your projects and I know that he would be most happy to see you. You may feel free to make arrangements to see Lt. Colonel North, if you wish, by corresponding directly with him at the White House or by contacting Philip Hughes of my staff."

Castejon later met with North in the White House, where he also saw President Ronald Reagan. When Castejon returned to Washington for a second visit, he was introduced to members of North's secret Contra support network, including retired Maj. Gen. John Singlaub and Contra leader Adolfo Calero. Castejon also met with a group of doctors working with Rob Owen, North's liaison with the Contras.

Jeb's almost as smart as Poppy.
