It would be nice if the GOV/we taxpayers get back apart of the $'s that were pumped into those company's. They played a huge part in destroying our economy and their names should be wiped clean off our public vocabulary. ]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:27:53 -0400

Greed, corruption should not be rewarded. Their bonuses should be clawed back and payments made to the board should be clawed back as well.

All of this is wishful thinking, since when do these people pay the price for destroying stockholder value and helping to destroy our nations economy.

We the tax payers are already paying for the mess they made and for their mis-management.

We the stockholders should sue the CEO and the Boards for the mess they created, and some of these people need to go to jail.

Greed and stupidity should not be rewarded. Financial corporations and their management should be put in regulatory straight jackets until they get their act together.

Unfortunately our system is built around greed, connections, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

We the small stock investors always wind up holding the bag after the rich and powerful make off with the jewels.

Our countries big mistake was when everyone went gag gag over the fact that we were becoming a service industry. Yeh, we serve the bankers and they screw the country while becoming supper rich. A country which can not actually manufacture and produce products and appears to be able to only enrich a few at the expense of everyone else is not likely to be great.

The Republicans and Bush did a beautiful job over their 8 years destroying the middle class, and enriching the top 5% of the population.

I hope that Obama's policies actually bring some change for the better, but I have my doubts.]]> Mon, 25 May 2009 17:33:37 -0400

I have lived in several banana republics and third world countries. The actions of the Bush Administration have created the mess we are it will take a great deal of time to recover from the disaster they created. I think that Bush and the republicans never found a banana they did not like. Tax cuts to the top 5% and the heck with everyone else.
The capitalistic system was used by a few to wreck our nation for the benefit of the few. ]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 00:20:41 -0400

Those other zombies who put citigroup together and those others who helped create the conditions which allowed citigroup to be created should be called to task and legally punished if possible, Of course most of them have moved on to better and smaller things with the millions that they sucked out of citi. Current shareholders and the US taxpayer have been left holding the bag.

Our system of rewards and punishment has become a laughing stock.

The banks and other financial institutions have done a remarkable job making a few supper rich and at the same time destroying the middle class of our country. The government over the last few years have aided and abetted the destruction of the middle class, with its no regulation attitude, transferring wealth from the middle class to the upper 5 % of the richest of the rich. Conservatives and the republican party want to turn the USA back to the system of the middle ages, a few who controlled everything and every one else turned into serfs.

Under G. Bush we the USA became a third world country without the bananas.]]> Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:11:11 -0400

I do feel some shame for the way for our country which has let all this happen over the last eight years of Bush Republican rule. Why anyone should trust wall street or investment advisers is beyond understanding. They do not know anything more than us poor Joe main street individuals who work hard try to save something for retirement and or a rainy day, what happens we lose our shirts, our 401's disappear and we get 0% on our savings accounts, at the same time that our Gov. is out there shelling out money to the same people who got us to this state of affairs in the first place.

Unfortunately, we are fast becoming or have reached the classification of what we used to call "a banana republic".]]> Sat, 13 Dec 2008 18:16:29 -0500
