They were set up for a fall just so the gubmint could come in a wrest control via "bail outs"
There is indeed a lot of blame to go around, but IMO, the majority of it rests with the likes of Frank, Dodd, Schumer, Raines, Fanny Mae ACORN, etc.
No one will ever convince me the the economic "crisis" and the installment of 'the one' was not an orchestrated coupe.
Yes, you are right.
It is so unbelievable to me that we even pretend that this is the country that our Founding Fathers created. They signed their own death warrants when they signed the Declaration of Independence, they took on the world’s superpower because of 8% in tax. We have been enslaved by this government. You paid off your house, do you own it? NO! Try not paying your property tax and see what happens. We are merely renting their land. We work more and more each year just to pay their tax. We are not free. This government has grown into an absolute corrupt entity. You don’t pay your taxes you go to jail, if you are in the club you become the Treasury Secretary. Martha Stewart went to jail for selling her own stock, Bernie Madof gets to live in his luxury Manhattan condo for stealing billions of other peoples money! Do you think we have gone past the tipping point? I am starting to think we have.
