Wall Street Bailout

Agreeing to this bailout means that we played capitalism, and we accept that it failed. This is a repudiation of capitalism and embracing socialism. This is admitting to the failure of our way of life and concedes to China, the old Soviet Union and Cuba.
For too many years we saw the self-important, legends-in-their-own-eyes, arrogant wallstreeters driving their red Ferraris and burning fuel by the hundreds of gallons on their cigarette boats. We were wondering how people who did not create anything, did not produce a single sack of potatoes or planted a single tree, who did not add any value to the world, could live that way. Now we know, they party and they leave it to us to pay for the musicians.
This is the largest money heist in the history of the world, rushed down our throats because it is an ‘emergency’. We should not allow them to get away with it.
The value of true corporations did not disappear overnight. The money that is not being lent did not get sucked into a hole in the earth. The money is still there, and money that is not let, generates no interest. They can hold to the money for so long, then they will need to lend it again. This is playing chicken with the rest of us, waiting to see us blink first.
The money is somewhere, and can’t stay still for too long, or they really have to close their doors.
They are scaring us, this are the departing shots of President Bush and his friends, who want one last bounty before leaving office. Vote no, no way, no how.
