Why does the stock market fall when middle and working class Americans
Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 03:28 PM by carpe diem
are getting a bailout? They (Wall Street) got theirs and keep coming back for more. The stimulus is a chance for main street to get a shot in the arm and the fat cats that control the markets can't seem to stand it. You would think they would want the American taxpayer working and continuing to pay taxes (payroll, property, income, etc.) so there will be money available the next time they f**k up and we have to save their asses again!

1. They want our money with no oversight. They can't stand it...
the middle class isn't who they are concerned with. It's unfortunate!

2. Because
They want immediate access to every thin dime in the treasury.

3. Because -- despite RatBastard's "ownership society" BS -- the market
IS NOT THE PEOPLE ... IT IS THE OWNERS, THE BOSSES,
"THE MAN."

The fact that Wall Street is throwing a tantrum should
make working people feel more sure that what Obama is
doing is the RIGHT thing. It's only when Wall Street
applauds a policy that we have reason to be afraid ...

5. Because, Wall Street is a huge scam that produces nothing.
Wall Street isn't complicated, but the cheats run it and obscure the ways that they cheat.
