USA is so corrupt

Quote from Fractals 'R Us:

Be glad they still need the little guy for something, the day we are unnecessary and/ or in the way is the day we die...

They NEED us for 2 reasons...

1. Tap our assets for their own pleasure

2. Vote them into power so they can "#1 above"...

Otherwise, we're just flotsam...

ok the US has its problems, but before you complain too much , there are not a whole lot of places where the little guy can make a decent living or even trade markets if he choses to do so.

People are still climbing over fences to come here.

a government or state in which those in power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves.

Let's face it we are just pawns in their game. The whole Iraq war was a complete crime. Where were the W.O.M.D.? Whoops lets' just forget aboutt hat blunder.

It's amazijng how quickly we forget and let them get away with these things. All those poor suckers whos lives were lost chasing Bushes oil money. What a travesty.

But we simply move on to the next crime.

Actually, the terrorists moved the WMDs out of Iraq and hid them in our financial system. What's worse, they're armed and could go off at any time, which is why Paulson needs $700B and no questions asked....(I suppose $700B is Jack Bauer's going rate).

You have , perhaps, said that in Jest. Nevertheless that seems to be precisely what has happened. In fact the Islamic fundamentalists have stated emphatically that there goal is to destroy our economy. And of course the Bush administration did a masterful job of playing into their hands in the wake of 9/11. Perhaps they will discover that owning the US economy is a better idea than destroying it. I wonder if Daddy Bush will get kicked off the board. Once they own every thing, they won't need him anymore!

After O'Neil was out of office, he did an interview where he stated, "... it was clear from day one... WE WERE GOING INTO IRAQ, REGARDLESS..." He went on to say that attendees at that meeting were told, "... find me an excuse I can use...."

Bush WANTED a war for political reasons.... justified or not.

The thing is, one guy stood up for us. He was threatened to be killed, and he still kept plugging. He went against his billionaire father, who now regrets not backing him up, and Warren Buffett, who told him it was 'too big'.

The bought- off press crucified him. The thieves on the Street bribed, yes bribed, politicians and others to thwart him. The manipulators, operating under the guise of legit short sellers, fought him tooth and nail. And a lot of you guys supported your heroes.

We didn't support him. We didn't offer help. Only a few. Now, we all pay.

And he tells me it's too late. And he told me that before the 'bailout' was public.

You can rant and rave all you want. We're getting what we deserve.

By the way. NYTIMES reports SAC is losing money. Amazing. Stop naked shorting and piling on the financials, and they lose money. Just an observation.

Exactly.

You could have been talking about Paulson, also. Thanks for clearing that up.
