How many millions of dollars in bonus, stocks, etc. are the CEO's taking home?

First, I think we need to require them to return their benefits and all the gifts they received while sitting at the head of the table.

Dear Ridiculously Wealthy, Clueless, Obtuse People on Wall Street:

I am not paying for your mess. No siree. No one's hiking up my taxes because of you. I don't want to fund your toys, your estates, your cars, your wife's plastic surgery, your fabulous vacation, your kids' Botox treatments. None. Of. It.

My suggestion: Buy a Gremlin or a Pinto and develop a love for tuna fish sandwiches. Because 2 slices of white bread is all you'll get out of me.

Why are the "leaders" of our government asking for advice from the very people that allowed or caused this financial mess. Both presidential candidates talking to folks that are neck deep in this. Why would we want to listen to them? They have already damaged this economy, don't let them do it again. We have lost our moral compass in this country and greed rules.

The Federal Reserves plan to save their rich buddies is very short sighted to say the least. What the Fed's have not included in their mathematical genius plan is who is really going to pay for all of this? The middle class is shrinking everyday, living wage jobs do not exist, credit is at a standstill, the poor certainly do not pay taxes, and the rich are also off the hook. This being said, whom is going to pay off this tremendous debt? We will be a country of low-wage slaves, with debt like a third world, no middle class, very few living wage jobs, with the majority of American just getting by. The rich and political elite have us exactly where they want us!!

I'm so disappointed with our government at present. Aren't they supposed to believe in the free market? They can no longer be trusted as their words and doctrine are meaningless. So much for being fiscally prudent, they have mismanaged things for years. They are a disgrace using our hard earned taxes to bail out companies. I hope government cuts back on all their expenses like the rest of us but that is just a pipe dream.

How are we suppose to invest for our futures when the rules keep changing? It's like they want us to be dependent on the government.

I believe the banks should have to pay back to every tax payer for the bailout

This is getting ridiculous, the Fed now wants to buy everyone's bad debt?!?! Are you nuts! I don't want any such thing! If I did, I would buy it myself. Please, for the love of free markets, everyone write your Senator and say no way!
