Sheila Bair - World's Worst Regulator - to Stay at FDIC

Dare to disagree with most of your points but the first is disgracefully tasteless, and awfully irresponsible too.
The "let’s-stick-up-for-th... schtick" should be most welcome and desired attitude nowadays, which shows exactly a healthy dose of "independent judgment". It's the little guy (fancy your name too) that the whole banking system is living off nowadays, and won't take long until our creative (read crooked) "financial experts" find another novel way (through independent judgment as you wish) to screw us all again in order to get bailed out for the sake of raiding the little guys' pockets again. Have you forgotten Enron, and the likes already? Sure if it is done in mass now, it's no longer visible..., or it's just simply acceptable: everybody does it. Right?
If raiding the little guy's pocket (since we all know the big guy still pays an obscenely small share of taxes) is what you desire, then most likely Sheila Bair is not the right person for the job. Since that little guy is already being robbed by the Bush administration and his rubber-stamp Congress through the bailout, someone has to protect the masses too. We cannot allow the greedy to shamelessly keep massing up the riches on the back of that little guy without impunity. This redistribution of wealth from middle class to the ultra rich is becoming way too disturbing nowadays, while our financial system is a willing accomplice; this trend cannot continue without a mass revolt. Is that what you rather have? Middle class is the backbone of America; we want it thriving, healthy and happy, not exploited, robbed and disenfranchised. So, give the little guy some slack; rather have the riches just once play fair.
