Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the folk who want me to bail them out of the financial mess they’ve gotten this nation in the same folk who didn’t want to help my friends when they were losing their homes to foreclosure? Seems to me I recall these skeezers calling my friends financially wreckless, incompetent and irresponsible. My, oh, my how the tables have turned. Who on earth could possibly be more financially inept than those who have brought this whole nation’s economy to collapse?! It looks to me as though pots (skeezers) are calling kettles (tax payers) black, but answer this question. Which is the greater of the two evils? Is it a family who had to default on a home loan because of losing their job, or the exorbitantly paid financial geniuses whose greed brought the economy of the greatest nation on the planet to its near-demise?
I remember the skeezers saying that the Government should by no means bail out those average working class Americans who had lost their homes to foreclosure. They said it was my friends’ greed, incompetence and wreckless behavior that brought them to their own financial ruin. Therefore, there would be no Government bailouts. You got yourselves into the mess you’re in, so you take responsibility for your wreckless acts and get yourself out --- there will be no Government bailouts for you, said the skeezers. Their words need to be thrown right back at them because as a person judges another, so shall they too be judged. Since the skeezers judged my friends as they did, the same judgment must apply to them. Right? In fact, they should be chastised more harshly for their inept financial dealings because the public put complete trust in their abilities to make sound financial decisions for the good of all, but they didn’t.
Given the skeezers didn’t want the Government bailing out my friends who lost their homes, I don’t want my tax dollars used to bail them out of the financial crises they’ve got this country in. Us tax payers shouldn’t be forced to bail out a bunch of deceptive greedy rogues who’ve brought this economy to its current critical state. The skeezers didn’t want to help average working Americans who lost their homes to foreclosure, so I don’t want to help those money gluttons out of the economic mess they’ve gotten this country in. Let them pay the damages out of their own pockets, and leave tax dollars be.
There’s one thing I don’t think U.S. leaders, politicians and the wealthy elite understand. Poor folk like me can weather severe financial crises because our whole lives have been one big financial crisis from paycheck to paycheck. We’re used to it. When President Bush started yapping all that fear in his speech about a 21st century depression if we didn’t bail Wall Street out now, I flipped a bird to the TV screen and said out loud, Screw you and the horse you rode in on! I’ve been in an economic depression all of my adult life. A 21st century one wouldn’t be anything to me but another day. Armageddon means the end, right? So, I say bring it on. I’m ready for the end because I’m tired of life and living it. Depression and Armageddon don’t scare me one damn bit. I welcome an end to all of this crap --- disappointment after disappointment, failure after failure, doing the right things in life only for the right things NOT to happen in your life as you planned, dreams deferred, hopes lost, stupid politicians, ignorant financial leaders --- which is all the more reason I don’t want my tax dollars being used to bail out any reprobate mammon mongers!
Let them experience REAL LIFE as all of us working poor Americans have to do every single day of our lives. Let’s see how the skeezers would manage if they had to live through a 21st century depression. Folk like me would survive it. We have to every day. Would the skeezers? No. That’s why they want to use my hard earned tax dollars to bail their sorry asses out, and I detest the thought of being forced to do so.
