No mumbo jumbo, folks. It's REALLY simple. It's YOUR money. Demand ownership.

[understandinglife]

Please, do not allow anyone to confuse you or anyone you know.

You work.

You pay taxes.

That's YOUR money, they are talking about spending.

If they want to spend your money on ANY financial company then YOU get stock - stock with the same voting privileges of the most preferred version of security that that company has issued.

For every dollar invested, you the tax payer, now OWN equity in whatever company the US Treasury invests.

Do not allow anyone to distract you from this simple outcome - YOU ARE THE INVESTOR, YOU ARE THE SHAREHOLDER and you have full shareholder rights in every company your tax dollars are invested.

Call bullshit every time someone says 'bailout'. This is not a bailout if your money is involved, this is you becoming an owner.

1. "Call bullshit every time someone says 'bailout'. This is not a bailout if your money is involved,

... this is you becoming an owner."

Unless you like walking down the street tossing $ 100.00 bills in the air ... because unless you DEMAND OWNERSHIP in these financial companies that is exactly what you are doing - with your money, your children's money, their children's money, their children's money ......................

Peace,
Bob

3. True. We the People are now expected to foot the bill for ...

... buying the naked emperor some clothes.

I wish you had included in this message the modus operandi by which we can all lay claim to our fair share in the companies!

Maybe there will be a checkbox on all tax returns in the future where we indicate which company we want our shares directed to. Think?

4. Actually, a "national trust" similiar to what Kucinich is proposing tomorrow, is the mechanism.

You, and every tax payer, would participate in a portfolio of low risk, solid balance sheet equities.

Peace,
Bob

6. Yes. I hadn't seen Kucinich's proposal when I posted this.

I hope there will be enough spine on the Hill to do what he is proposing, along with Bernie Sanders.

Interesting times!

7. Rep Kapture (OH) definitely gets it ...

Yours and

this one.

No BS with this Representative. If only America would listen to people like her and Rep Kucinich.

14. SHE'S A KEEPER!!!

Damn! GOOSEPIMPLES!!!

10. Excellent

Now that is what we need.

I called my congresswoman's office today. Corrine Brown of Florida. Her office said that she is against the bailout, no way, no how, is how they replied when I asked what her position was on the bailout.

13. That woman is afflicted with constitutional fever.

Let us pray for a slow recovery! She nailed it, and with humor!

5. "It's YOUR money!"

Remember how that was the chimp's nauseating meme throughout the 2000 campaign?

Couldn't find a video of that specifically, but I found this one, which is also drenched in irony. (Watch only if you have a strong stomach):

9. I don't want their crap..

It comes down to this. Bush has been a miserable failure. He's the last person in the world I'd want as a financial advisor. If they take my money there will be trouble.

11. Well said.

YOU ARE THE INVESTOR, YOU ARE THE SHAREHOLDER and you have full shareholder rights in every company your tax dollars are invested.

[earth mom]

12. Yep & don't forget there is NO guarantee that the economy won't crash AFTER they scam 700 BILLION+

from all of us. :grr:
