A grassroots movement gaining momentum across America, and refusing to be knocked down by administration hit jobs, is calling for President Obama to do something besides spend money. The furor, originally voiced by CNBC reporter Rick Santelli on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, is directed at government policies that reward individuals and companies who made poor decisions with taxpayer money:
“Enough housing bailouts, enough bank bailouts, enough bailouts for everyone who took risks that didn’t pay off. People who played by the rules and paid their own debts shouldn’t be forced to pay for all these bailouts. I support Rick Santelli’s call for a Taxpayer Tea Party to defend our country’s founding free-market principles.”
