Meet the new Boss...
same as the old Boss...

The bankers, the insurance executives, the Big Oil men. Nobody is going to tell them what to do. They will do what they want. They will make as much money as possible. No President can tell them what to do. Although a lot of citizens think they can change these barons of finance, they are only dreaming.

3. I don't know about that. They passed laws & rules the credit card co's
have to comply with as of 1/1/10. Yea I know, the btd's are pulling every greedy thing they can think of BEFORE Jan, but the bill was signed and it's now law. I still have faith in Barney Frank to pull off restrictions on the bankers too! Oil is another story. Unless we can convince enough Americans to start doing things to save on oil useage & get out of 2 wars oil will rule. I read somewhere last week that the amount of oil used by the military is staggering when you compare it to what's used in the US by the population.

9. Bankers and the rest think they can take their money with them
They need a lesson. Take a dead one, pile money on him and see if it goes with him.

7. 'Cause they ARE the government. Congress is just middle management, at best.

10. Actually,
they are the slave masters and Congress consists of their slaves (albeit well-paid ones).
