Listen to us - no loans, no bailouts, no subsidies

We have to act now! It is a crisis! I have looked into Paulson’s eyes and seen fear! The sky if falling!

Calling all federal legislators.

  • Do not attempt to fix anything.
  • The people do not want you to spend our money.
  • The market will take care of itself.
  • The system is called capitalism. If you fail, you start over. You do not get $200 and and pass go!
  • A legislator does not, because of your position, title, education, party, religion, or sense of self-importance know more or understand more than the rest of us.
  • A legislator does not have a duty to save us. We can save ourselves. Really.
  • Let those who made bad investments fail. Send those who lied and borrowed to jail. Send those who lied and loaned to jail. Send those who lied and sold those loans to jail.

And please, ask all those people yelling on television to take it down to conversation level. It is only cloudy, the sky is not falling.
