I loathe the idea of having to bail out Wall Street with my hard earned tax dollars. That money should be going towards universal healthcare or better education and not to bail out this nation’s economy because of self-serving decisions made by a bunch of covetous, reprobate, inept, hedonistic, unethical shysters.
Why should I -- a single, working class, no-property-owning, debt-ridden, middle-aged, struggling from paycheck-to-paycheck, average American Jane -- bail out this nation’s economy when I didn’t do anything to create the mess this nation is in?!
I work every week day, earn meager wages, don’t have any savings, don’t own a home, never take vacations (I can't afford them), don't attend events or go to nice restaurants (I can't afford to) and live from paycheck to paycheck with scarcely enough to pay my bills. So much money gets deducted from my bi-weekly earnings that I question the logic and worth of my being a law abiding citizen every payday. But Wall Street fat cats want me to bail them out of the mess they've gotten this country's economy in?! Surely, they jest.
The Government already takes out a huge portion of my miniscule earnings. I'm barely making it financially, now, yet the Government wants to take even more of my paycheck to bail out Wall Street?! I think not! Why should I be made responsible for the catastrophic unsound nonsensical financial decisions made by a bunch of lying, greedy, degenerate, ruthless, bigoted, asinine heathens and morons?! I didn't create the damn mess. They did! Make them pay!
There’s a scripture in the Bible that says: Those to whom much is given, much is required. So, why aren't these rich money-mongering asses being made accountable for their actions?! I don't understand. If you’ve been given the sacred trust of lording over personal, national and international finances, then you have a responsibility to use wisdom and prudence in managing these monies. If you screw up, then you should be made accountable for your wrongdoings. Quit shifting blame. You did the dirty bad, so ‘fess up, pay the consequences and do right forward.
It's so simple. Abide by the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Do you want someone screwing with your money?! Then don't screw with other people's money! If you so choose, then remember this: You reap what you sow. In other words: What goes around, comes around. Get a spine & do your time. Pay your debt to society. Let's use the assets you've gotten by unethical means to rectify this nation's economy. The Wall Street madmen and Republican rogues need to pay for the financial mess they've gotten this country in. Not us working poor average Americans!
Those Wall Street fat cats get paid big bucks to make sound financial decisions for the good of their clients, the economy and our nation. They’ve been esteemed as the smartest, best educated, most financially astute and knowledgeable in the world of finance. They are compensated for their talents & skills with exorbitant salaries and outrageous bonuses. So, tell me where accountability comes into play? Where does the buck stop? Those fat cats making all that Wall Street money need to be responsible and made accountable for their actions.
By god, if a secretary took a box of pencils home from her job because her child needed them for school, she would get fired on the spot for stealing and would not be able to secure another job due to being labeled a thief. If a store clerk slipped $5 out of his cash register to buy a loaf of bread and a quart of milk for his family with the intention of paying that money right back as soon as he got paid the following day, that store clerk would get hauled off to jail and do time in the clinker for stealing. The secretary and the store clerk would have to pay for their crimes even though what they did and why they did it is understandable. The same standards should apply to those white collar criminals who've gotten this country's economy into the multi-billion dollar mess that it's in. The treason committed by these fat cats against this nation's economy is reprehensible. These traitors are abominable and should be incarcerated for the rest of their lives. They should also be made to pay money out of their own pockets for the damages they've done to this economy.
The heinous act of bringing this country’s economy to its near-demise by greedy mammon mongers is despicable. These rogues and traitors need to pay for the crimes they’ve committed against this nation. Wall Street leaders and money barons have committed treason against the United States of America, so treat them as the traitors they are. Imprison them, and do so in real prisons -- not plush Federal country club-like prisons. Send them to Rikers Island or Folsom Prison. Let these asses spend real time in real jails just as any other American Joe or Jane would have to. I’m sick of these white-collar, wussy-fluff, pansy rogues getting away with heinous crimes against hard working Americans. Who in hell do they think they are?! They’re no different from anyone else! Yet society coddles them and easily forgives the outrageous blasphemous crimes they commit against hard working average Americans such as myself.
I have the solution to getting this economy back on track. The IRS needs to seize all the assets of the guilty mammon mongers who’ve caused this nation's economic near-demise. Use THEIR money to bail out our nation's economy! Don’t use poor folks’ tax dollars like mine to get this economy out of a mess we didn’t get it in! Make those brilliant Wall Street financial geniuses pay for what’s happened. Make them accountable for the dire mess they got this country's economy in! Make those fat cats take ownership of what they've done and make them pay the consequences for their greed! Give these shysters the same dose of harsh reality that all us average Americans would have to endure if we committed such crimes. Seize their money, properties and all assets. Use that to pay off this country's debt and get the economy back on track. Lock up the criminals. Afterall, if you do the crime, then you've got to do the time. It's just that simple, so let's do it.
