The only way for the little man to strike back is to not use those bailout banks.
Talk with your wallet.
Move your money to a local bank or credit union, one that services their own loans and didn't need any "bailouts".
Banks NEED deposits. If more Americans moved their money there is nothing the Fed or Treasury can do to force people to use those banks. This is something you can do and don't need to contact your Congressman or wait for a vote or hope for the best; you can do this today.
It's your CHOICE here people to use or not use those banks. By using those banks you are indirectly promoting and agreeing with the corruption, manipulation and greed.
hahhaha thank you jcarl for being the exact stereotype of the stupid, ignorant American who just eats that "foundations of the country" BS right up.....
it has nothing to do with "success". it has to do with them earning for more then they should, for a job way overvalued...
I think jcarl was talking about the US, not your country. I might give your comments some greater weight if Canadians would stop crossing the border to work at jobs here in the Metro Detroit area. I guess our "stupid, ignorant American" opinions are not so bothersome as to prevent our neighbors to the north from coming to the worst job market in the "states" for a better opportunity than exits in Canada.
hahaha its kinda sad how pathetic americans are!! the socialist there are trying to change the country (maybe not obama i dont know how much he has truly changed) while the right wing nuts defend these great innequalities!!! they believe that the rich honestly deserve to be that rich!!!
your all being ridden to your graves on the horses of consumerism and being content with sitting on your couches.
live alittle!!!!!! make your voices heard and bring back the great country you all once had!!
Being rich is not a inequality. Being middle class is not a inequality over the poor. Earning what you make via working is called the fruit of your labor.
I also remember the fact that those who are rich are giving everyone else JOBS which lets you buy your computer, your online services and all the other things you use to support yourself and your family etc.
I think the issue I have is the rich use their money to influence the government to create benefits for business which can create inequality of fair free markets. But stop giving the power to government to interfere with business and create benefits for businesses but you also dont have punish businesses. Government favoritism in the form of laws and bailouts is part of the problem and creates a place were responsibility is no longer required and government will fix everything.
Citibank- which is on government "welfare"- is giving 50% raises to the fat cats! When was the last time YOU got such a raise? You are more likely to get a CUT or even a pink slip.
If you don't like them making more than $8.57 an hour, this is still America (although we appear to be headed to Socialism), get off you fat ass and go start your own company and get paid what you are worth, which will more than likely not be very much by the sounds of your whining.

Maddoff was rich too. I bet you believe he earned it. Sorry, I don't buy into rich always deserve it and poor are because they don't deserve it.
