Thank You. Bravo.
Its ridiculous that Americans have tolerated being screwed as long as they have. The company loves misery. Class war seems an inevitability.

"Its true there are people out there who are selfish, troublesome, and a burden to the rest of us, but welfare for the poor, or any safety net for people who might possibly even need it, gets covered by people sick of paying taxes Ad Nauseam, and more importantly they completely exclude any safety nets for the rich as if they do not even exist.
Working people are always last to get aboard any gravytrains and first to be used in any campaigns that will not in the least bit ever advance their cause.
Ever since Republicans took power with Ronny Raygun and his merry band of rich people ass kissers almost 40 years ago, Weve spent the last few DECADES shoveling money at the rich like theres no tomorrow, weve put an economic stranglehold on the middle class and all but bankrupted the federal government, while giving banks and mega corporations and the rest of the silver spooned elite at the top of the economic pyramid just about everything theyve wanted. So Ill ask all you tea party goers......where were you when the tax burden was shifted from the high end to the middle. Where were the PATRIOTS when Wall street, backed in Congress by Phil Gramm rewrote securities law so that the wonder boys at Lehman Bros. and AIG could reduce home mortgage to poker chips at a trillion dollar table and MOST important........they no longer needed a proper buy in. Where were you guys when the bailouts were STARTED with 700 billion that had to be paid on a few days notice with NO debate remember GWs the sky is falling speech. Where were you all in 2005 when the banking industry rolled congress into rewriting credit card and bankruptcy law making it easier to keep people in permanent credit card hock. As long as you can be distracted by people who claim its only welfare for poor people sucking you dry, all the while turning a blind eye to manipulation at corporate levels youre doomed to shouting at phantoms.
You all should be concerned at this point in time its true.......were bleeding arterially but youre also years too late and why is that again oh ya..........political agendas. Someone asked a friend awhile back what they thought of democrats and he said ......"Theyre all assholes" a bit harsh but hes like you.....and me..... and 9 out of 10 other people......... a stand up guy who doesnt want anything he hasnt earned and wants to keep as much of what he did earn as he can. but theres an entire class of asshole out there hiding in the shadows robbing us all blind laughing all the way to the bank and have been for years, and they bank BOTH sides as they see fit so (IMHO) hes only dealing with half a story and maybe half a deck if thats all hes got.
Im amazed at how passive the entire population has remained in the face of this sustained outrage from BOTH sides (Bailouts), even as millions are struggling to keep jobs and a roof over their heads, the wise guys of Wall street are licking their fat cat chops over the next round of obscene multi million dollar bonuses sent their way courtesy of Uncle Sams printing press with very little in the way of strings attached. so ya taxpayers are enablers for welfare.......at this point its nothing short of an arrogantly pointed finger in the eye of everyone whos just trying to get by in this downturn, but its time we make some fundamental changes in the way we see and do things in this country. The gamblers and con artists of the financial sector, the very same clowns who did so much to twist this economy in the first place, hire their favorite brand of politicians to howl self righteously over the prospect of regulations aimed at curbing the worst aspects of their excessively risky behavior and hopefully preventing them from causing yet another economic meltdown. Cry me a river here if youre at all sympathetic.
Weve institutionalized the idea that firms are too big to fail and now "We the people" are obliged to see they dont and that aint welfare. If some company is too big to fail then they are too big to exist Im sorry....... why should the general public have to constantly worry that a misstep by the high wire artists at Goldman Sachs can put entire economies at risk These financial acrobats get the extraordinary benefits of their outlandish risk taking......multimillion dollar paychecks and homes the size of castles but the public has to be there to absorb the worst of the pain when they take a terrible fall ENOUGH already. 2/3rds of all income gains from the years 2002-2007 went to the top 1% of Americans TWO THIRDS We can not continue to transfer that much of the nations wealth to those at the apex of the economic pyramid, which is what we have been doing for the past 3 decades or so, while hoping that someday MAYBE, the benefits of that transfer will trickle down in the form of steady employment and improved living standards for the many millions of families struggling to make it from day to day, for the many millions of folks who are the real engine/driving force behind ANY economy.
That money is NEVER going to trickle down........its a fairy tale and were crazy to continue to believe it. "
