Well played sir. Here is the truth, the Government has failed to protect us from the to 10% conveniently in the same way they have failed to protect us from everything else. The government fails its people, its soldiers, and fails to uphold the values and liberties it was appointed to safe guard. Why because those who make it up are for the most part in the body of that same 10%. Government is composed primarily of well educated, well funded individuals, not "the common people" how then can we expect them to protect or comprehend the interest of those same "common people". The real minority in this country are the wealthy, yet it is that minority which dictates the rules the rest of follow and many of the circumstances that play into our everyday lives. How have all these bottoms outs occured without reprecussions for those responsible, how is it that reprehensible behavior gets rewarded. Because they are all part of the "Price Club". KBR and Halliburton, are both companies founded, or partly owned by none other than Dick Chaney and yet, they manage to go unpunished for their poor practices, failure to meet contracts, practices that cost American soldiers, lives and discomfort. Yet they continue to be award government contracts, gee isn't that convenient. The same is true in this bail out. Bad behavior being rewarded. However not bailing them out wouldn't help either. Because the majority of the employees of these institutions are doing their jobs, and doing them well, it is their leadership /ownership that has made poor decisions, and none of us would like to see our own situation compromised needlessly to punish the actions of our "betters". Nor is another increase in unemployment good for the country. We have the option of paying for the bail out or paying for massive unemployment, and a surge in prices and inflation.
