When was the last time, we the people had an opportunity to take over our country economically, politically and socially? NOW. The panic discussed by Bush belongs to Wall Street not Main Street. It turns out that people in Main Street know how to turn a penny into a dollar without leveraging. They buy a product, sell it and earn a profit. They offer a service, get paid for it and earn a profit. This simple economic system differs from Wall Street where people become millionaires by borrowing money from Paul to loan Sam and asking Paul and Sam to pay for 'financial services rendered'. Main Street should refuse to bail out Wall Street and send a message that it's time for these over paid non-producing millionaires to 'get a job' and pay for their own mess.
For too long, Wall Street has manipulated markets so that the top executives earn the most money for doing what? taking one person's money and using it to buy another person's company then 'inside trading' with colleagues to ensure only the few at the top benefit. Remember Micheal Douglas saying 'greed is good'? Well then, when greed breeds losses shouldn't we the people say to the men and women who created the crisis, 'No Thank You, we do not want you to save us or the economy'!
Wall Street is in a panic not Main Street. The panic Bush is talking about has been perpetuated by the same people who robbed us blind. Now we are supposed to take their word for it that 'without them, we are finished!'. We the people believe that we can turn this economy around by buying and selling products and real services. Let us fight for our right to control our future. Let us stop these few privileged people from turning this country into a United States of Europe where the people no longer have a say and the 'king' replaced by the federal government decides our future.
We want justice and we want it now! Name these crooks and jail them for cooking the books while making us believe 'only they can save us now'. We do not buy the hype from the Bush Administration and we do not want to give these crooks 700 billion dollars for any reason. Call it even, we the people will build this nation from scratch if we have to, but let us not succumb to these bullies by paying them $700 billion. What do they have on Bush and other law makers that everything has to be done quickly and without any due process for the citizens of this country? If this is Bush's last act as president, it will be a fatal blow worse than 9/11/2001. The back door deals need to stop and the power needs to transfer from Wall Street to Main Street today. Just like we changed the course of the infamous immigration bill, we should change the course of this 'bail out' plan.
Let Main Street decide our future economically, politically and socially. No federal government should have the power to bully it's citizens into rewarding Wall Street for greed with a $700 billion check. This looks like a Monarchy not a United States of America. We might as well go back to answering to the Queen of England so that she can tax us and then decide what to do with our money without any accountability. Who died and made Wall Street King? Americans ought to let Bush and the Federal Government Workers know, we aint buying what they are selling and we don't trust their 'new bail out deal' any more than we trust the statement 'we are in a melt down because Wall Street said so' Really?
