Reach-Around Economics 101

   Given our current financial crisis and the shape of things to come, I would like to give you my new economic theory. It is so easy to understand that a simpleton such as myself came up with it. It is a basic theory. It includes all levels of the American social classes and it comes as a direct result of another economic theory, Trickle Down.

   As most people are aware, we are in the midst of the biggest economic disasters in our history. Wall street is trying to get Main street to bail it out and again the little guy will get the shaft, literally. Im assuming that most of you know what a "reach-around" is, so I will spare the details. If you don’t follow this link (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=reacharound). There now you know. So here goes the theory:

   The "partner" is the large financial institutions along with the ever deregulating government. The person getting it is the rest of America. The main diference in the Reach-Around economic theory is that it is not pleasurable for both parties involved. The partner gives it to us without any lube i.e., Tax breaks, Healthcare, lower prices on goods. All the while we get a nifty little "Reach-Around" in the form of a $300-1200 tax rebate. Meanwhile, we continue to pay more for goods and services while the executives of these failing institutions get to roll out with a golden parachute.

   I say it’s time that we stand up and say no to this Reach-Around policy, unless of course the lube is seriously improved!!!
