Does your stomach just ball up in knots when you see or hear
these commercials for stock trading firms, accounting firms, mortgagers, credit card and credit report companies, and banks now? I realized yesterday that I was having an equal stress reaction to the commercials as I was having to the economic news. I wish they would bar them from advertising now, at least until this mess has been sorted out.

1. No, I don't get knots in my stomach, I get acid because...
I get soooo pissed off that all of those commercials are still there lying to people. I get soooo pissed that most of these companies are still in business.

3. I'm looking for work right now
I'm being bombarded with requests to interview with financial service firms. The reason is that I have some sales background and it's on my resume, which I downloaded on several job search sites. They are looking for SALESpeople, not people who have expertise in finance and investing.

4. Yes, but the ones that REALLY make my skin crawl...
are any of the oil company advertisements about their research into "clean coal" or whatever they call it technology. There's one in particular with this smirking slimy looking guy talking about his research into improving the extraction of fossil fuels of some sort and it just makes me sick whenever I see it. I just want to kick his smug little smirking face in!!!

5. Even WORSE are the Tax Cheats
Husband and wify all smiles and giggles about how they owed the IRS $200,000 and got off paying $5

How the hell do these assholes not pay taxes and allow them to accumulate into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and then they get off scott free?

What the hell is this all about?
