Pushed around by the banks, NO

The financial world is pushing this counrty around. They think that if they scare us enough we will give in. The truth is they made a mistake in judgement and thought they could make a killing offf of high interest, high risk loans and they lost. They loaned money to people they knew could not afford it and yet they are shocked when they stop paying. If they had made the money they hoped do you think they would be giving it to us? But, now they want us to pay for their mistake. NO!! We are becoming a socialized govenment and that is not what I want.
Your retirement accounts are fine Meredith. You have years and years for the market to rebound, just continue to save and save and you will be fine. The people in trouble are the ones who are retiring soon, and the ones who have just retired. My parents may have problems for awhile, but the market will rebound and this could be a very healthy thing for the economy. This will make money hard to get and people will have to live on what they make. The fake world many have made will have to be changed. If you cannot afford it you do not buy it. Is that really such a bad thing? I will continue to write my govenment officials and tell them how I feel about this issue and others. This is a great chance to have your voice heard, no one listens better then in an election year. Write McCaine and Obama and let them know.

From an article at Foxnews from Andrew Jackson's day.

"You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
Today I turn over my space to Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, who said these fiery words to a delegation of bankers in 1832:
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
The issue back then was the Bank of the United States, a federally chartered institution—sort of a predecessor to the Federal Reserve—that Jackson, ever the populist, strongly opposed. Today, most people agree that a national bank is necessary, but as today’s vote demonstrates, there is no national consensus on transferring wealth from the middle to the top. Good! Let’s hope that principle holds true for a while longer.
Today, the same as back then, big bankers attempt to blackmail America: If you don’t do things our way, exactly as we tell you, then the roof will cave in.
James Pinkerton. There is a better way.
