On the news tonite, sunday nov. 23, 2008 the feature was about C. Schumer D NY was saying they needed another 500-700 Billion dollars additional for bailouts. Question...why in the Hell should my tax dollars...And yours go to bailout incompetently run companies that pay their CEO's hundreds of millions in bonus monies after they have ruined the companies and drove them into the dirt. I think enough is enough.... to hell with all the Ba****ds who have labeled the american tax paying citizens "Slaves of convenience"....in other words, Shut the hell up , keep working harder and pay your taxes for the government to waste on pork barrel and other frivolous government waste. Enough is Enough! |

Governments should guarantee an equity or stock position to taxpayers in banks if they are bailed out. Use a neutral body to administer the position like a Public Trust. Use the bailout to strengthen the business/bank , don't payout to investors. Tend to agree with you on the "CEO" thing Wolfsbane - these people have little or no accountability , and if they stuff up - well, they get a golden handshake. |

UpChuck Schumer is all about his idea of Socialism and it's attending restricions on personal liberty etc. This is just the beginning. Big Gov knows what is best for the 'citizen'. JMO RCowboy |

Mark Twain: "Congress is America's native criminal class." He was right. After they get done with all the bailouts for the havoc THEY caused, then they want to appropriate all your private retirement savings accounts in to the bankrupt Social Security that THEY administer. Yeah, that will fix everything NOT. |

Just makes me try harder NOT to pay taxes!!! Donate to charity as much as possible - give directly to the organizations that support our troops and vets! Learn to shelter your money! Play their game - they made the rules - learn the loopholes to keep as much of your money in your pocket as you can or in the pockets of those you choose to donate to... Ever see the movie "9 to 5" ??? Just give me 48 hours with one of those CEO Carpetbaggers!  OR the ones who keep spending my money to bail them out. Where are 'ya ladies? LOL I'm sure we could give those greedy pocket pickers a lesson to remember... Tee hee...  Ned - I like your idea - of giving we, the people footing the tab, some equity in the banks and corporations we keep bailing out! Can't see that happening... but a very interesting thought.

Its not ideal Moonflower but if the Govt uses your taxes for such purposes there is a fair amount of risk and its a way of keeping some sort of accountability. Of course accountability/responsibility in the first place may have prevented this happening. And I agree with you Moonflower, learn to protect what you have - don't rely on a fund manager to babysit your wealth. No problem for me as I have a mortgage anyways lol |
