I've got a package for him![]()
Just reading that quote reminds me of a stubborn child having a temper tantrum.
Not knowing how old you are, but he gets that from his father.
You know what really irratates me is this is a huge headline above the market ticker on yahoo finance. This is such propaganda crap. When the heck are our representatives going to listen to their constituents and stop acting like nanies...oh yeah when it ceases to benefit their bottem line. Looks like a long drawn out depression is in store."The better to own you," say tptb....
Is it just me, or does it sound like he almost says "something suspicious must be done" instead of "something substantial". Love it when the truth almost escapes.

Pure and simple bail out of the rich.
Just my humble taxpayer's opinion, but if this bailout gets passed in spite of the overwhelming opposition of the people, would that not amount to taxation without representation?
It stands to reason that if the entire American financial community is in crisis, so am I. And yet, though I am an American citizen by birth and am expected to pay taxes, not one of the swifty nifty bailout or assistance programs accrue any benefit to me…beyond the vague but patriotic comfort I am meant to derive from our propping up companies that are too lousy to succeed and too large to fail, and our bailing out individuals who are either too crooked or too stupid to fare well by means of ordinary free market commerce.
I do not feel comforted, on the contrary.
I contend discrimination by marital status. I contend discrimination by property ownership. I contend malfeasance. Finally, citing a premise fundamental to the birth of our nation, I contend taxation without representation.
As you know, the October 15 deadline approaches for those who, like me, filed extensions on their income taxes.
I require a formal Redress Of Grievances to determine what, if any, income tax I owe in light of sustained and brutal occupation of a foreign land, to which I hold such conscientious objection as to undermine the quality of my daily life, and now in light of fiscal tomfoolery that is being perpetrated at taxpayer expense but from which I derive no benefit.
Bearing in mind that it would be undemocratic, unreasonable and unjust to oblige me unto ruinous legal expense in order to register a legitimate and honorable request for Redress Of Grievances, I await advice on how to proceed.
