Someone is going to PAY!!!
I'm sure most of you have read or at least heard about the financial crisis that has occurred on Wall Street. Well for some reason while sitting at work, (lol yea I'm not doing anything today) and reading an article, it hit me that I am furious over what happened. These CEOs and brokers sit back and steal all this money from these hard working Americans who put their trust and their money in them and they go and blow it. They sit back and play Russian roulette with peoples money and when the bullet comes up they point the gun right at you. I just find it strangely ironic how ass-backwards the United States is. Someone who holds up a bank or store so they can feed their family is considered a criminal and goes to jail, but rich executives who make a career off of thievery get a government bailout and stick the American taxpayer with the bill. O well we pissed your money away trying to make ourselves rich and we messed up sorry...so ummm you think you can give us more of your money so we can do the same thing again? Something is not right here and one day all of those thieves will pay. It may not be when we want it or how we want but you know what they say about karma.

angry much? hahaha
But I agree that there's a ridiculous double standard concerning these "white collar criminals." It comes down to what we think of as crime and how the government measures its severity. These wall street folks have taken much more money than a bank robber. At the same time, the bank robber physically harms or at least endangers any number of people. I think some would argue that this is why the bank robber is worse than the corporate thief. That's probably BS, but it's not something I see changing anytime soon.
By the way, I just read that John McCain wants to suspend his campaign (and Friday's debate) to create a bipartisan solution to the economic crisis. It seems like the people continue to pay while the "elites" work the system to their benefit.
