I?M PISSED OFF ABOUT BAILOUTS!

And it's LOCAL!!!!!!!!!

First ? Eight years ago YOU and me paid TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS to ?UPGRADE? a stadium that doesn?t even have OUR name on it: PGE PARK.

Second ? In this morning?s Oregonian David Sarasohn states that HENRY PAULSON paid himself a THIRTY NINE MILLION DOLLAR BONUS when he left as CHAIRMAN OF GOLDMAN SACHS in 2007 to become ?Secretary? of the Treasury.

Third ? Henry Paulson is THE ULTIMATE WALL STREET INSIDER!

Fourth ? Henry Paulson has a son, a SPOILED TRUST FUND BABY, named MERRITT PAULSON.

Fifth ? Rich kids used to get polo ponies but instead of a pony, SPOILED TRUST FUND BABY MERRIT PAULSON wanted A SPORTS TEAM.

Sixth ? DADDY PAULSON, because he wanted to make baby happy BOUGHT SPOILD TRUST FUND BABY MERRITT PAULSON TWO TEAMS!

Seventh ? PAULSON + GREED + MONEY = BEAVERS & TIMBERS

Eighth ? Now TRUST FUND BABY MERRITT PAULSON wants YOU and ME to SUBSIDIZE HIS TEAMS WITH A BAILOUT!

Ninth ? TRUST FUND BABY MERRITT PAULSON wants the PORTLAND CITY COUNCIL to use its PUBLIC CREDIT RATING AND PUBLIC BONDS TO BAIL OUT PAULSON?S FAILING TEAMS ? THE TIMBERS AND THE BEAVERS!

Tenth ? Cleverly disguised as a ?public benefit? PAULSON WANTS YOU TO ?FIX? PGE Park FOR SOCCER. Paulson wants you and the PORTLAND CITY COUNCIL TO ?UPGRADE? PGE PARK ??????.. AGAIN!

BONUS! (It gets even better) On top of ?FIXING?PGE PARK for SOCCER ???. PAULSON WANTS YOU TO BAIL OUT HIS TEAM WITH A NEW ?BASEBALL STDIUM? in LENTS! (who wants to go way the hell out to LENTS from the west side?)

I say KIDS SHOULD PLAY soccer and baseball NOT PAY to WATCH soccer and baseball.

I say BAIL OUT OUR SCHOOLS NOT STADIUMS.

FIX OUR OWN SCHOOLS' TOXIC LEAD PLAYING FIELDS ------ NOT A RICH KID'S TOYS
