WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!!  GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASS LONG ENOUGH TO SEE HOW WE GET DRY FUCKED BY A BIG RED WHITE& BLUE DICK IN THE ASS EVERY DAY!!

Contact your representative and urge him or her, to reinact the Glass-Steagall Act, that was repealed in 1996 during the Clinton years in the White House. Goldman-Sachs has been lobbying for it's repeal since the fifties, and now we know why. When the housing bubble was ready to burst these guys sold the paper(mortgages) with AAA ratings thanks to Paulson who was the Treasury Secretary at the time. It's a clear abuse of power and conflict of opinion, which should be criminal at the least.

The question is, why did we bail them out in the first place, when the British unit caused the problem to begin with. I haven't been able to find out if AIG ever has to pay this back or was it just a gift from Uncle Sam. GM is paying it back, so they say anyway. Who can you trust? Nobody thats who. I had money in a 401K with T.Rowe Price, because I was losing more money than I was making. I took it out and invested in CD's. At least I wasn't losing money.

I dont know about all those who come here to see and here this video, and many videos similar to this video, but I have seriously thought about running for the hills, and having a "live off the land" scenario; this circus has gotten out of hand, foot, elbow, ear, nose, throat, ass, back, and anything else you guys can think off. it's just redickeelus.

If I lost $100 taking foolish risks that I knew were wrong, an then some1 came 2 me and said hey I'll give ya $50 and no more. If u don't wanna take it I wont give ya shit dick weed.

The Federal Reserve is an evil unconstitutional institution that must fail! It serves the interests of a few elite bankers that wish to enslave and destroy the world. The Fed must END
