Yet another reason why I was against the bailouts.

I'd just like to see some of them get what a black dude who steals a car would get..

Time served in county jail?

Sounds a little lenient.

It's a start, working up to strangling them with their ties. Baby steps.


The real missed opportunity was with the tax-payer money bonuses. They should have been paid in wheelbarrows full of cash on Friday afternoon.

T-Man, all that's well and good but it doesn't change the fact that Blueball's point is spot on regarding OBAMA and his decision to begin



I'm all for change, but driving a huge wedge between classes and using class warfare as the basis for your reelection strategy is incredibly short-sighted and damaging to the country.

I'm not saying he isn't driving the wedge for political gain, I'm merely responding to the core issue. There IS a problem, and attempting to marginalize the OWS movement will only inflame those who agree with the 1%/99% assertion.
As for Obama, he's fighting for his life...and losing the battle. If the 1% were smart, they'd take the wind out of his sails by reinvesting in industry...creates jobs and deflates banking/investor's balance sheets.

Think about it...

...he wins if the conks attempt to stonewall, mock and marginalize the OWS movement (i.e., not seriously empathetic with the plight of the working class [read: Voters]), and he wins if the conks act cavalier, justifying wealth accumulation with lame "capitalism" defensive rhetoric.

Yep. Pretty amazing that they don't do more that way, especially with the auto industry as an example of what happens when you drag your feet.

It'll always have to be a two pronged approach...regulatory/tax reform (long term incentives) and tax-exemption for overcapitalization.
American's have to wise up and understand this economic avalanche won't stop until industry gets back on it's feet. To accomplish the recovery will take sacrifice by government which has set up camp at the tax trough.
Think of the billions wasted on "public education" programs, not traditional classroom education, but the leviathon bureaucracy of govt plebes sitting around designing leaflets, campaigns, radio and television ads, to "remind" American's how to eat, sleep, boat, drive, socialize, think, and on, and on: The amount of tax revenue required to feed this bureaucratic megalopolis is STAGGERING!
Next, adopt the Simpson-Bowles proposal to reduce earmarks with the "nuclear option" to wipe out ALL earmarks if stepped reduction levels are not achieved.
And to be fair, reinstitute increased inheritance tax for estates over 3.5 million/parent.

Cut all the crap out...diminish the motive to become absurdly greedy, and the tax revenue reduction is mitigated.

I vehemently disagree with the "austerity" methods being adopted with the EU...principally because they're lopsided, only effecting workers and government. Contributions need to be made by all including investors/banks/bondholders, not just the workers and government. Remove any "leg" from this table, and it fails.
