This is just another example of how those with and about "white privilege" can just make stuff up as they go along.Want to wage a 7+ year war in a foreign land that didn't DIRECTLY do anything to us? Well how much is that going to cost? $720 MILLION A DAY? ... CHA-CHING - You got it!
You need $29 BILLION to make sure all the Bear Stearns' VP's and muckity mucks can get their golden and platinum parachutes? ... CHA-CHING - You got it!
$85 BILLION to make sure all the AIG VP's and muckity mucks can get their golden and platinum parachutes? ... CHA-CHING - You got it!
The Federal government can print BILLIONS of dollars in "new money" to save these white owned "old money" corporations, but can only afford to give hardworking American families between $600.00 to $1200.00 (and an additionall $300 per "qualifying" child) and call that petty ass payout "stimulating" the economy.
Sen. McCain can say that Sen. Obama is out of touch with the common voter because he holds campaign fundraisers that are damn near $30K a plate, but how exactly is Sen. McCain "in touch" with the common voter when he's married to a woman who owns a major share of an Anheuser Busch distributing company that grosses $300 Million ... ANNUALLY!
Those who are holding the purse strings of this country have BILLIONS to bail out companies that have made AND LOST billions, but there is no money for education. No money for healthcare. No money to create jobs and training for those jobs.
At the end of the day the "Golden Rule" remains to be "HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES."
Entrprenuerism is the ONLY way for the every-day man or woman to be a "golden ruler."

Corporate bailouts don't keep the high ups in the AIGs and Bear Sterns in financial bliss. They would have they're yachts and cars even if the US gov't didn't bail them out. Remember these are publicly traded companies, so the execs have limited liability. So, if they're company files for bankruptcy then their personal finances aren't going to be affected. Now if an entrepreneur files, they are not afforded the same luxury.
So the bailout helps the people who worked for the company who would have lost their jobs, and pensions/retirement money tied up in the company stock. The VPs would have taken a hit if they had significant company stock, but not nearly the same level as the middle management and common employee. So, I feel there should be a restructing of the way companies pay their execs, especially failing companies. But a gov't deciding to not bail out a particular company is not going to send a message to those execs, its just going to hurt the everyday man.
I agree with everything else in the post. :) And McCain/Palin amaze me with their bullshit on a daily basis
