“...I begrudge no one their success. But that was before…

Before we looted the Treasury and mortgaged the futures of generations to bail out the Too Big To Fails...”

A few years ago I did a job on a large property on expensive waterfront. Tearing down a 20-year old 5,000 sq. ft. home to put in a house 4 times as big. Neat place and enjoyed working there. Until I found out the new owner was some big-shot from a failed bank, that was just hired by another investment firm that had gotten a bunch of TARP funds. Then deals were made between two other banks to arrange for financing as part of the move, with the downpayment paid by his new firm.

The guy ended up with a $900 a month mortgage. With MY (and my kids and grandkids) tax money.

Obviously that guy worked a lot harder than you, your kids and your grandkids. Only a red-card carrying communist would think otherwise.

Stop being a taker 21twelve!!!

Well...there's another way to look at it...your wage was paid by TARP as well.

So you got your tax money back and then some.
