Bullshit... say I...

Here is is what pisses me off...

If *I* blow up my FX account by trading recklessly then I'm broke and looking for new money with which to 'gamble'...

ALL the big banks took excessive 'risk' in their trading activities and blew up their accounts...

BUT! When the banks went looking for new capital with which to 'gamble' the United States government, via the Federal Reserve, TOOK money away from American taxpayers, who were struggling through the worst economy since the great depression, and 'gave' it to the banks. The banks took this tax payer cash and have been manipulating the markets with it ever since. The government, the Federal Reserve and the banks have all colluded for many months now to prop up, and profit from, their manipulative activities in the market to the point that the banks who were too big to fail are now even bigger! Showing huge profits from trading American tax payer dollars.

The Federal Reserve just reported record profits as well...

And now all the government wants to talk about is tax tax tax... New taxes in the health care bill, new taxes on utilities (cap and trade), and now talking about new taxes on the banks!

Who PAYS all these new taxes?! The American tax payer that's who... Any and every industry that is taxed will do as 'they' have always done which is to pass any and all tax increases on to the 'consumer'. That's just the way the 'game' is played!

Why is it that the American taxpayer is ALWAYS, not only too small to save, but also never to small to apply additional taxes to?!

And the banks are STILL insolvent and the United States government is not far behind them!

This what pisses me off and I'm pretty sure it pisses off many other Americans as well.

There is NO morality left in American government or business at all! Our entire economy is a 'moral hazard' now...

All government and (big) business is good for now is lying, cheating and stealing from the American public. Period...

Consumerism was a huge experiment that seemed to be working pretty well for decades until it collapsed.

Government and banks have been so blinded by greed and corruption that 'they' didn't pay any attention at all the the underlying 'consumer' on which 'they' relied for revenue! Through their mathematical genius' and modeling 'they' have succeeded in DESTROYING the American middle class.

And now 'they' expect 'US' to pay for it all! Again!

Bullshit... say I...
