Before too long, anyone making over a certain amount of money will be decried as "un-American", salaries will be capped, and the standard of living will go down. Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, but apparently, there are those in power in American who want to give it one last shot. Scary days ahead, my friend.

The TARP sucks money out of all of our wallets in the form of higher taxes and a weaker dollar, and ships it off to people who really should just find other work. It hinders competitors — the stronger ones — from selling more of their products. " That's brilliant. That one quote right there sums up what's wrong with this whole mess.
