Bank Bail Out

Government Bails Out Crooked Bankers With Our (Hard-Earned) Tax Dollars And The U.S. Sinks Deeper In Debt

--Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke (left) and Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson (right) have orchestrated nothing short of a take-over of the U.S. by the financial industry. In a move that the media is wildly reporting as rescuing the economy and banking system; the government has rewarded their wealthy Wall Street friends for deceiving, cheating and stealing trillions from U.S. taxpayers.
-- This unparalleled addition to the national debt will guarantee that Social Security will be insolvent, that the average working-class man and woman will pay higher taxes, that roads and bridges will continue to be ignored, that a solution for rising health care costs will have no funding support, that education initiatives will faulter, that the price of buying a house will go up, and that interest on any savings will remain at record lows.
-- Meanwhile, Americans will continue to lose their homes, pay high gas prices, struggle to make credit card minimum payments, choose between food and prescription drugs, work harder and longer for less, and generally live miserable lives as slaves to the bankers and the 'ruling class' of politicians who have taken over this country.
-- With the median income in the U.S. at $26,036 per year--and a third of Americans earning only $19,000 or (much) less--rescuing international investment banks does nothing to help the average taxpayer.
-- The majority of Americans do not have 401K plans or stock portfolios -- a fact that the media and politicians continually ignore. Basically, they live from paycheck to paycheck, and only manage to keep their heads above water by using their credit cards. Addionally, the status of the 30 Dow Jones Industrials (that's all there are is 30 companies), has little effect on the mom and pop store, or the local service jobs, store clerks, carpenters, painters and such the like. Most people are counting on Social Security for their retirement, but the government keeps pushing back the availability dates and reducing the monthly income amounts.
-- The move by the Fed and lawmakers is nothing short of theft of taxpayer funds and a take-over of this country by the bankers. Citizens should demand that their elected representatives stop any legislation supporting the bank bail-out, let them fail for their misdeeds -- that's real Capitalism.
-- I don't see the government bailing out any of us, or the (really) small businesses that go under every day because of the ridiculous fees and taxes the government and banks charge us for everything they do.
-- Enough is enough already. It's just too bad that the media never reports the real truth, instead of just repeating government press release-lies. Wake up, people!
