Wall Street Blasphemy

I just saw Michael Moore's film, Capitalism: A Love Story.
Very insightful indeed. All that we suspected, and worse.
I don't understand how these people on Wall Street who
bilked millions of people out of millions of dollars, their livelihood,
their security, their trust, their future, their homes, their families...
HOW can they live with themselves? HOW do they sleep at night?
WHY aren't they ALL returning their ill-gotten, undeserved bonuses?
Sheer greed. They caused this downfall of the American dream, and
took more security and peace of mind from us than the September 11th
terrorists. They changed our society in more far reaching ways, for generations
to come. The enemy within.

I am so angry. I cannot believe that nothing can be done to right the wrongs.
I cannot believe that Congress and the White House for decades allowed this to happen.
Facilitated it, in fact. For years. Especially as regulations were lifted in the last decade.

And to our horror, not once but twice committed precious Bail Out Funds, with NO reasonable
checks and balances. Not the tiniest fiduciary responsibility and accountability.
No strings attached. This is unacceptable. They "allowed" the Wall Street BONUSES to proceed.
This is ABSURD. And, they are being allowed to persist in their dirty little
secrets and their dirty tricks. Business as usual. Where is the Outcry? Why isn't Congress listening, acting, embracing and protecting the will of the American people?

A democracy is the greatest good for the greatest number... NOT the railroading
of the country and the people ... to cover the asses of the greedy gentry who got us
into this mess. Why should innocent Americans have to pay the price, with their loss of jobs, livelihood, homes, peace of mind. This is unconscienable. Is there no justice?

Wake up America! Send your elected officials packing. Change the rules of the game and
legislating. More transparency. No more business as usual. Recover the spoils of the
evil robber barons, lurking amidst the halls of Congress and the White House,
and give it back to the people. Throw the bums out. No more piggy-packing bad bills into unrelated legislation.

Take back America! Go see all of Michael Moore's films. He has the courage to tell the awful truth.
Listen, and weep.

Fight back, America!
