Who Is John Galt? Many saw this coming decades ago.

You know, it's really sad that people that I personally knew refused to believe me because it wasn't on CNN or Fox or in the newspaper, etc.

They knew me, knew I was trustworthy, but they refused to listen. Even when I held the proof.

Capitalist 6th graders, that is. It takes buildings full of Harvard PhDs to come up with these multi-generation-bankrupting nightmares.

Conspiracy. Also (hint, hint) never trust any expert from an Ivy League school or a Nobel prize winner. They don't give out either of those without approval.

Ried and Pelosi as voting shareholders? Insanity.

No, Reid and Pelosi as Directors! Total insanity.

Who decides how to vote the stock? Obama? Geithner? Congress? How is that Constitutional?

...some critics PATRIOTS would consider it a back door to nationalization, since the government could become the largest shareholder in several banks.
