Robbery

I ask you America, " When your government isn't working for you, then who are they working for, and to what goals?"
After the banking-credit-real-estate-stock-market crisis, when a lot of people found out that their homes weren't worth what they owed on them, their investments had bottomed up, and that the banks were broke and they couldn't borrow more money ( the banks or them), the government saved the banks.
The banks then refused to negotiate the upside down real estate market, sticking homeowners and taxpayers with the losses, and saving themselves. Wouldn't it have been nice if the government had given the money to the people and let us decide if we'd save the banks, rather than the other way around? After all, it was our money.
It is beyond me why people don't walk away now and let the banks eat the losses. An individual's home is normally their biggest investment. Why invest for thirty years, pay for a home three times with the interest, and then have it be worth less then it's original cost? The bank won't negotiate? They want you to pay 350k for a house worth 175k ? Wasn't the bank taking a risk too? It's the banks house, give it back to them or accept an indentured life.
I don't understand it all, obvious in my simple words, but it looks like robbery to me, orchestrated and committed by the banks and the government, working hand in hand . Partners in crime. Can't tell the thieves from the elected officials. Maybe that's why so many elected officials aren't seeking re-election. Or maybe they know something we don't, and they're going to cut and run while they still can.
Scary. Especially because the greatest robbery in history is soon to be revealed: Millions of Americans have paid into Social Security for decades, now that it's time for their dividends , there is no money. The deal wasn't, "give us your money for years and we'll indenture your children to pay for your old age", So where's the money? Invested? In the bank? or gone? Decades of saving by millions of Americans. Gone. Like market money, or home equity. The greatest robbery in history.
America, we've been robbed. We're being robbed today as I write. It's the greatest robbery in history: The robbing of the American people.
Keep your money, America. It will be harder to steal, and put to better use in your own hands. The average man can no longer afford the extravagance of Government. IF Every American Born citizen had received an equal share of the money spent on bailouts and war since 2001, what would my cut be?
Harry Reid, how much money does he get paid? He's claiming we need to pass another jobs bill because domestic violence is up. Now there is great debate about domestic abuse and any links to unemployment, as if being unemployed and stressed out wouldn't result in more domestic abuse. Harry's going to spend US all back to Nirvana though. Let me repeat, "the ugly truth: The race downhill is picking up steam. Throwing false economy in front of the ball in the form of "stimulus money" is like adding fuel to a fire to stop it." (February in Cave junction 13feb10). A jobs bill would be false economy.
How much worse is domestic violence going to be after the country is bankrupt and Americans face generations of debt? How much do we pay this guy, ...how long has he been there, ...how soon can we vote him out along with all the others???
