The knee jerk reaction of so called conservatives on this sight that the wealthy “deserved” this is downright frightening.

You know what it is - we don't mind when people work hard for what they get! We believe in a honest days pay for an honest days work and the American Dream - if you work hard, you too can someday go from working out of your garage to being president of your own company. (Case in point: Bill Gates - worked his way to the top!) If you work hard enough, anything can be yours - its just a matter of perseverence! What we hate is GREED!!!!

Many conservatives are also Christians. Christianity is based upon Judeao principles. We believe in honesty, fairness, good business practice, ethical behavior, "Thou shall not steal". We do not like to see businesses fail - we love for success for all - success is the American Dream. But the American Dream should not come at a price.

My dad always said, "Be careful who you step on on your way up, because they are the ones who will support you on your way down!" How True! Those companies stepped on alot of people, and we have no symapthy. You reap what you sow!!!!

Careful, there.

"Hildy" is apparently an extremely overly-sensitive Jewish person.

Telling her/him/it that you are "Christian" might be mis-interpreted as some kind of anti-Semitic comment.

PS - ...and strangely, I didn't see Bill Gates' name on the list of "victims". Did you?
