Bail out or sell out?

My friends we have again been victimized by the greed and mismanagement of the big bankers of Wall Street.  They saw a huge market in mortgages for people who couldn’t afford them and rushed to get their greedy hands on as many of those people as they could. It was like the land rush in 1800’s Oklahoma.  They didn’t care about the havoc they would be causing the people they were exploiting. All they cared about was making their bottom line look good so they could get more in pay and perks. Then when times started to get tough, they bailed out themselves on their golden parachutes. Not to worry, their banks, the Chamber of Commerce and the politicians who needed their financial backing for campaigns were there to clean up the mess they had made. And clean it up they did. All it took was $700 billion and additional billions in pork from us, the taxpayers.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve had about as much of this as I can bear. Hell will freeze over before I vote for anyone who voted to violate the taxpayers as they have just done.  Before you vote, take a good look at who’s asking for your support.  If they supported you, vote for them. If not, vote for the other person. We’re the last great hope of this nation. We have to be more responsible in our voting than our politicians have been in representing us.
