Everyone who has funds in these particular banks need to rush and take out every last penny and let the damned banks fail or let those who benefited from the bailout with bonuses etc. save the damned things. This is beyond disgusting the rich getting the benefits of the hard-working taxpayers.

Now you know why I was on the corner dressed up like D. Cheney thanking the suckers (my fellow Americans) for all the free money. Let''s all join Billionaires for Bush, why not. The billionnires need EVEN MORE, then they can have even more money for war. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!

Did you see the name, Richard D. Fairbank!! I bet he has laughed himself, along with his boyfriend Nigel Morris, sick over that being his last name.

I''m telling you all they will only stop when we start to make them suffer. Take away all these scumbag rich people... PUT THEM IN PLACES LIKE CORCORAN, MaCALESTER, AND ESPECIALLY ATTICA. Yes these are the nation''s finest places of lodging for those punks who are really responsible for the equivalent of treason.

Typical of the Bush administration...rich get richer and the poor get poorer. How do those rich *** sleep at night? Oh right, in their big cozy mansions with pillows fluffy with American common people $$$.

I have heard of several of my friends,whom had fairly good credit that have now been turned down for loans. I think that the US Government needs to make them pay that back. This was not suppose to be a blank checque deal.

All corporate jets need to be sold and full accountablity needs to happen. Please write you Congress

The problem is that while we still have something left the corporations didn''t get is when we still have leverage to fight them. If we let them completely ruin the middle class, we will be COMPLETELY dependent on them. We won''t be able to do effective boycotts and general strikes.

I would love to hear some ideas about what we should do about it. I have mine but everyone I know thinks they are too radical. They would rather be turned into slaves by their corporate masters.

Convincing the masses is impossible, they wont listen until its to late. All we can do is go off grid asap, be prepared to survive, and try to come out on the other end of this with at least minimal damage.
