It would be even better if they gave us tax incentives so we could build our plants overseas and not have to pay the full tax there. No tax here, half tax at where we want to buy cheap labor. What a deal!

Goldman and Hedge Funds in massive insider trading scam. news.yahoo.com

So, Wall Street gambled stupidly and the taxpayers paid 100s of billions of dollars to bail them out.

Then, this welfare bailout made them profitable again, so they paid out their temporary profits in huge bonuses to, well, themselves. All the while giving the middle finger to Congress, brain dead shareholders and taxpayers while screaming, "thanks, suckers!"

Then it turns out that even the temporary profits were gained illegally.

Never has an industry cried out louder for strict regulation of its behavior and its salary structure.

Is this the time when Barack Obama finally gets some iron in his soul and cuts the legs off these professional crooks?

Is this the time when corrupt Congressmen of both parties say "enough is too much?" Bring them to Congress to testify. In shackles and orange jump suits.

Or do the Teabaggers, Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats continue to show their true colors and act like this is business as usual?

I'm betting on sleazeballs to stay sleazy, but hoping and praying for Democracy to come to the USA. Try them before a two man court made up of Dennis Kucinich and Anthony Weiner.
