Absolutely not. I like that word, machismo. but I'm really quite nice. I'm just a bastard with the english language.
wow, a congressman with a brain. that's refreshing. it's pretty obvious they've been panicking us all. what kinda government goes on the media and spreads panic that causes a 10 day run on a 119 year old bank that causes it to topple. $16.7 billion dollars in deposits were withdrawn from washington mutual in 10 days while paulsen got on the news 50 times a day carping 'the sky is falling'. instead of taking quiet action to keep the country's economy stable, they irresponsibly (and in my opinion deliberately) destabilized everything further. then the government seized wamu and handed it over to the biggest bank in the nation jpmorgan chase, who now instantly has branches coast to coast for a song. they got assets of $300 billion for just under a couple of billion. and this right after gobbling up bear stearns. and i'll tellya, one thing bankers are not is impulsive. they know exactly what they're doing. this is like a big chess game to them. the banking industry is going through a process that is creating monopolies. if you think banks were raping you before, just wait til this is over. and just think, your tax money will pay to make the whole thing possible. you my fellow americans are getting fucked coming and going.
:cheers2: Thats why I was so excited to watch this presentation by Kucinich, Sherman and some lady( name escape me now, another rep from Ohio) anyway....they said this bailout plan is not only going to hurt the tax payers but is morally and spiritually wrong. We are feeding the pockets of the greedy. I love to hear someone speak of spiritually unsound principles, back them up and then offer a plan.
do you live in the US? if so, it's impossible to avoid taxes. you're getting taxed one way or another. if nothing else, everything you buy will cost more because of all the people who are paying taxes.
Something for you perhaps but how is that possible in a global market where every economy has been effected.
well, it's certainly been done in the past. the rounds of talk shows spreading panic were hardly necessary. and most americans would have missed the whole banking crisis if that hadn't been done.
