The answer is LESS government you idiots!

[karend51]

These are the richest and most privileged 'poor' people in the world. They carry cell phones, use computers, shop at grocery stores, drive cars - all made by the corporations the speak against. It is the age of entitlement.

[beasty513]

I think that the private sector needs to grow and in order for that to happen government needs to shrink.

[Gregory Hughes]

GLB was in '99. Bush didn't deregulate. Little more complex than loans too.

[Ramon Santos]

Got no reason to "be here"? Jump to 06:38 :D

[MacAttackHD]

[al coss]

the only stupid coment was TXMPEST OILMEN MENTALITY BUSH CLASS

[coopmuch56]

Bush deregulates the banks so they can make risky loans which they did and caused a recession, and the answer is to deregulate more?

[dolberman2]

Yeah sure maybe were not a third world country but that's not the point here.. This is a fight for our rights, for our way of life. We occupy because we deserve those things. Your short-sighted if you think were fighting for those things your completely wrong THAT IS NOT THE POINT HERE. Its about PREVENTION. Its about our freedoms. If we had our way there wouldnt be third-world ountries. I hate karens remark

[Citizen5667]

Government would destroy every freedom we have if they could. A limited government gives people the power to make the government work for them and not the other way around. If you let government take over, they take over every choice you make. At least with corporations you can boycott, you can't really boycott governments.

On a second note, government programs are always a failure... Cash for Clunkers.

[Maroons1p]

I sympathize with you. However, small business owners will not do any major hiring until after Obama leaves office. That is a plain fact. Your anger is misplaced. You need to be in front of the White House protesting.
