The Bear Necessities: Law of the Jungle Rules

rnairb ~ what reeks about what she said? Why don't you offer specific objections? Purl Gurl clearly stated her opinion and offered illustration beyond a one sentence comment.

Maybe she is only considering Now. What is happening seems to be limited to two camps:

Either 1) We really are greedy (Fat Cats) and needy (Average Citizen)
OR
2) The financial system is specifically designed to lower the ability of the common man to improve his condition.

Think about it. Money does not have to inflate. According to the Constitution, one dollar is to be set equal to 32 some odd grains of silver, or some such standard.

The Fed usurps.

Yes, greed has always existed. Stand back and consider, however, that perhaps the system we live under at present is encouraging greed to further other objectives...such as rendering the common man a serf, a slave, an economic prisoner to an elite ruling class.

WAKE UP. PLEASE. This is not conspiracy theory gibberish. Read Creature from Jekkyl Island.

When Bear Sterns is bailed out, as with all companies prior, the weight of the burden is shifted onto the American Taxpayer, lowering incrementally their standard of living. Time and time again. This is not new. The Fed along with Congress and w/e intermediary has bailed out many banks, firms, and companies throughout the years.

My stance = do not discount someone's opinion just because it is not yours. Wall Streets' butts may not really be "spanked"....Realize Wall Street is owned by the same people who run this place on the human level. Why are almost all Presidents Council on Foreign Relations members? Why are the original banking interests tied up with media, economic, and governmental control? Wall Street simply shifts the burden to the taxpayer via the Fed and Congress. Do you really think they will have pained gluteals?

However, we do live in a big house even if we are oblivious to that fact. X the stress. There is room for everybody.
