We need to take control of the banks. They are ripping us off big time. Do it now before their assets are transferred out of the country. Once those assets are moved to switzerland we wont get them back without going to war.

Ask yourself which three single member of congress, both Democrats and Republicans, received the most Bonuses ( in the form of campaign contributions from the Wall Street / Banking / Real Estate Broker sector of the economy)??? By the way, check sector of the Economy gave massively to politicians - compared to all other sectors of the economy, while you are at it.

Ask yourself which three single members of congress both republicans and democrats were most involved in witting the bail out law details ???

Then check multiple non-profit, non-partisan web sites, which make campaign contribution information from the Federal Government search able and organized.

After which you will no longer be ignorant who in congress is receiving bonus.

Then asks yourself if Barney Frank really was stupid, or was he just looking out for his own bonus.

I suggest a TAX PAYER REVOLT

I find it ironic that the guys who benefited from Capitalism most, now need Socialism to bail them out. Not that I''m for Socialism, or anything like that. I just think it''s a little humorous. I know what caused the mess. There''s at least four housing developments, all in the 300,000 and up price range, within 5 minutes of my house, that are only half finished because the interest rates bottomed out around 3 years ago and nobody wants them now. At this point they''ll probably never be finished. (because no one around here can really afford them)

Add too that, the price of gas to keep our huge SUVs and 6 wheeled pickups and 4x4s rolling, with only one person in them.

We''re all crazy!!!

I don''t even have a college education, and I figured it out! It doesn''t take any degrees to recognize greed.

By the way... I''d be happy to take a job as an economist, if anyone is searching. It doesn''t take a degree to know when the wallet is empty.

Someone else mentioned that there are a lot of $500,000 homes in their area that aren''t being bought. Maybe they could send those buyers down my way. We''ve got the $300,000 ones here!

The Federal Reserve Board has refused to say which banks are getting how much of the pie.

And lefty asks what is the solution. That is tax money lefty.

Stupid, no. The people are stupid. Congress knows that, so they are the smart ones.
