Sorry sport, they don't have a major news network promoting them and corporate underwriters hauling them around in air conditioned buses to venues they've set up to listen to speakers they've arranged.

This movement is not astroturf, yours is.

Okay, so TARP.

You said "stole" from the treasury. That is the part I am asking about.

They stole by engaging in predatory lending practices to make trillions and then, when the bubble they created burst, stole over a trillion from John Q. Public when bailed out.

You can call it whatever you want, as can I. I know what it is.

No one is arguing that their lending practices were not problematic.

You suggested that they stole from the treasury. I asked how. I would appreciate it if you stop jumping around and answered the question. The bail out was a loan in which taxpayers profited. The bail out in itself was not stealing.

You can't lump all wealthy together as you did in your initial post.

Just incase are wondering... as close to NYC as my username implies, I am not a banker on Wallstreet.
"Problematic"............Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!

Go back to Wall Street.

P.S. Did you get your bonus last year?

Whatever man. If you do even the slightest research on here, you'll find out exactly what my profession is. It has nothing to do with the financial sector.

If you can't support what you're saying and want to just bring up BS, that's fine. Have fun with your protests. Keep warm.
