Mad As Hell - USA

May 2009

Wall Street engineered todays mayhem, but its executives still pay themselves obscene bonuses from government bailout money while tent cities grow fast. And average Americans? Theyre mad as hell!

Are we ready to fight? Yes! An angry crowd has gathered outside the Bank of America headquarters to protest against the huge bonuses paid to its executives. You take the taxpayers' money and make sure your house is paid for, but here we are losing our homes. Unions like the SEIU are leading a charge to reclaim control of the financial system. We cannot trust people at the top to be looking after our best interest. We cannot trust CEOs to not be greedy and enrich themselves at the expense of their communities states the head of SEIU. James manages New Yorks oldest and busiest soup kitchen. In his eyes its not only Wall Street that is responsible. We all are to blame for wanting something for nothing. Could the first step to recovery simply be learning to spend what we can afford?

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain."

- Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

The Federal Reserve (controled by the ten largest banks) controls our government and economy. End the FED, give the power to create money to Congress with strict controls.

James Macklin (The person in charge of the soup kitchen in this video) is probably the only person I have ever seen telling the real truth. everyone is to blame in this situation. People now a days are so materialistic caught up with a fantasy life style. The sad thing is that a lot of people never want to realized it and always want to blame others for their problems. specially politicians.

The greed for power in DC is just as damaging as the greed for money on Wall Street. And don't think for a second that the unions are looking out for the average American, they are motivated by the same power grab the politicians are.

The latest tactic health care for us citezens. Who is gonna pay for it? The federal government sure borrowing money from other world banks. In turn raising our taxes to pay for it. I swear the government is like a kid with an unlmited credit card. Keep on charging it up. Who's gonna pay us... HEY FEDS CAN I GET A PORSCHE OUT OF THE DEAL?

[BillQ1971]

More change coming... The federal goverment has screwed up the deficit. It continues to bankrupt our country. Meanwhile taxing you and me to no extent. Using or borrowing foreign dollars and making us pay for it. We need a change alright and it isn't one of the politicians in office.
