[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 321064, member: 9859"] Big A, you bash all the "welfare rats" to get off their lazy butts and find more minimun wage jobs to move up out of poverty and welfare to stop sucking funds from our Gov't, but I find it comical that Corperate welfare is acceptable to you. Never do I want to hear again from my conservative friends about how brilliant capitalists are, how much they deserve their seven-figure salaries, and how government should keep its hands off the private economy. The Wall Street titans have turned into a bunch of welfare clients. They are desperate to be bailed out by government from their own incompetence, and from the deregulatory regime for which they lobbied so hard. They have lost "confidence" in each other, you see, because none of these oh-so-wise captains of the universe has any idea what kinds of devalued securities sit in one another's portfolios. Enter the federal government, the institution to which the wealthy are not supposed to pay capital gains or inheritance taxes. Oh hell no, you don't expect these people to trade in their BMWs for Saturns, do you? But if this near meltdown of capitalism doesn't encourage a lot of people to question the principles they have carried in their heads for the last three decades or so, nothing will. [/QUOTE]
