You forgot the greediest buggers of them all, government. wrong. wall street. wall street uses the govt as a private collection agency to get the taxpayer to bail out the rich socialism for the rich For some like GM, Chrysler, Citi, BAC etc. I agree. These are the corrupt ones that need bankruptcy to clean out the paracitical garbage. I am a investor and capitalist, and I am dead against the corruption of taxing people and corporations for dysfunctional welfare corporations. The cost to all is too high in the end. You are neither. You're a leech. You don't work. You're on the dole. You will always be on the dole. |

That's funny because I noticed this also... everyone wants a dollar for this or that... even at the checkstand in the local market. Well, perhaps it's because times are tough, but I sure don't like the pressure tactics. There are smaller retail stores that solicit for their "literacy fund." Between the feds and states, counties/parishes and cities, far more money is ****ed down the drain than is spent on the military. More money to learn to read???? Fraud and government are the new leading industries in the former U.S., except in the area of border patrol. |

Starting 2007 when unemployment started to rise, the congress was democrat. In fact, the timing is impecable. Create lots of cheqp debt and cause a depression, the democrat way. http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgov...division_2.htm -- Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common sense? |

Funny, I count more.... http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgov...division_2.htm Are you sure you are an American? This Canadian immediately knew you were BSing. 2007 democrat congress also marks the begining of this depression as they chose to ignore interest rate invesions, essentially they created artificially cheap debt...upsetting the balance between savings and debt. Basically why I call this the "Great Depression of Government/Debt 2008-20xx". -- Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common sense? |
