Someone SHOWING how the bankers messed up a lot of lives Options

The free market (Laissez-faire Capitalism) did not cause this crisis, the government (CRONY Capitalism/Socialism/Communism) did.

The free market did not create Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and Sallie Mae, the government did.

The free market did not pass laws that force banks to lend to those who do not qualify for a loan, the government did.

The free market did not take us off the gold standard, the government did.

The free market did not dump trillions of dollars of cheap money into the system causing the largest asset bubble in history, the government did.

The free market did not create multiple multi-trillion-dollar unfunded entitlement programs, the government did.

The free market did not write a 60,000+ page tax code that punishes work, rewards sloth and buys the votes of special interest groups, the government did.

The free market did not destroy our public school system and graduate (or fail to graduate) generations of civically and financially illiterate citizens, the government did.

The free market did not drive our jobs overseas and kill our entrepreneurial spirit with over-taxation, over-regulation and frivolous lawsuits, the government did.

The free market did not ban drilling for oil, vilify coal and block the building of nuclear power plants in the United States, thereby transferring hundred of billions of dollars of American wealth and many thousands of energy-industry jobs to foreign countries, the government did.

This crisis is the result of a giant social engineering experiment and vote-buying scheme gone tragically wrong.

The free market does not try to engineer society or buy votes, the government does.

The government caused this crisis, the free market did not.

The government cannot fix the crisis, the free market can.


VOTE EM ALL OUT!!!!!!

lgjhn I applaud you for your firm grasp on reality !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif)

George Washington said it best !!
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

And let us never forget the eloquent words of Abraham Lincoln.
“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

For far too long our elected officials have ignored the best interests of the people.
They pass laws and institute policies that favor only those who contribute the large
dollar amounts to their campaigns. At home & abroad they regularly act in a manner that brings
shame to our Great Nation ! Consistently they act without consideration of those who
make this nation great.

It's time these despots were rewarded for their deeds.
In the coming election cycles , vote every single encumbant out of office.
Republitard and DIMocRAT alike. A message must be sent to our elected officials.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING & WE EXPECT YOU TO ACT IN OUR INTEREST !!!

If left unchecked , they will continue their destruction of the system of economic and social freedom
that has made this country the greatest in the world.

VIVE LA REVOLUCION !!
