That's ok. We all have our opinions. I'm actually a lot more generous of spirit than you give me credit for. However, I believe Americans can do better than let the government run what should be in private enterprise. I don't believe I've lost my way at all. I see very clearly what is wrong with this country and understand that I'm lucky as hell to have my job. Why do you think I work so hard? I'm working as hard as I can and saving as much as I can, because I don't know when this opportunity will end. I'm saving my nuts like a squirrel who knows winter is coming. But make no mistake. Winter is coming precisely because the bankers committed fraud and theft on a grand scale and the government is now in collusion to bail them out and recapitalize them by stealing from the 99% of us. Until you understand that, you will not be able to vote for people who can solve this problem. Obama is well-meaning, but he doesn't understand that you can't solve a debt problem with more debt and you can't make the bad banksters go away by appeasing them with recapitalization. We need to confront them directly, put them in jail, shut down their businesses and let private industry replace them with new banks that are NOT too big to fail and with new executives who know how to take responsible risks. That's the bottom line.
