I've been reading about how the everyday person - like you and me- is being shafted by our government.  We gave AIG a BAILOUT due to it's own mismanagement.  We gave the BANKS $700B to keep them from going under due to their participation in and ELABORATE PONZI SCHEME and now we're giving money to the BIG THREE AUTOMAKERS to keep them from going bankrupt DUE TO THEIR OWN MISMANAGEMENT AND LACK OF FORESIGHT.

So, where are we now????  AIG is continuing to give BIG RETENTION BONUSES or whatever euphamism they want to call it to lackluster and ineffectual managers, while still crying the blues.  The Banks are buying failing banks with the money they were supposed to use to assist STRUGGLING HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE FACING FORECLOSURE and now they want to CHANGE THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR LOAN.  You know, if they re unhappy about the terms of the bailout, THEN GIVE THE MONEY BACK AND SHUT THE HELL UP.

There are people living in tents in their friends backyards, people who are losing their jobs (just in time for Christmas) and people who are being evicted from their homes!  Their stories are all over the blogs and in the newspapers.  And yet, the CEOS, CFOS, COOS, AND WHATEVER OF above named companies are crying the blues, WHILE THEY ARE GETTING THEIR MILLION DOLLAR PAYCHECKS, STOCK OPTIONS AND TAX WRITE OFFS.

What are we waiting for AMERICA???  When are we going to have OUR REVOLUTION?  What is it going to take to make our government realize we are tired of this WELFARE FOR THE RICH?  Instead of that money going to those UNGRATEFUL CORPORATE ENTITIES, it should be coming to us, Mr. and Ms. Everywhere.  We know what to do with it.  We will pay our debts and perhaps... even start up some companies, invest in businesses and the economy is booming!  We could even invent energy efficient cars, solar homes and STIMULATE THE ECONOMY! 

This is very simplistic but, you know, simple may be a good thing. So, I'm ready to march on WASHINGTON to let them know that I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
