Trenton, NJ B I know a thief when I see a thief.

I don=t know jack about the economy. But I know a thief when I see a thief.

What the fat cats are doing is nothing short of a wholesale Astrong armed robbery@ .

These suckers, for lack of a better word, are outright stealing hundreds of billions of dollars and sticking us so far up the butt our throats are getting sore.

And on top of all of this they want the power to rip us open and not have to answer to the courts of the land.

For years the Bush boys et al. have been getting richer by doing all kinds of things with mortgages. Again, I don=t know anything about economics. But whatever has been happening these guys have been having a ball for years.

It=s not just Bush and friends. It seems like it=s Obama and McCain and friends, too.

For years they=ve made billions off the market using very suspicious methods. Now that the chickens have come home to roost they want us to give them cover for their crimes using billions of dollars of our money to make them rich all over again.

In other words, they want us to pay them for screwing us.

That=s the ultimate screw!

They say if we don= t take action things will get a lot worse. So let it get worse.

Bear Sterns collapsed, I didn=t know it. Fannie Mae and Mac went under, I still got up and went to work. Lehman= s and Morgan Stanley suffered, I still have to pay my bills. Nothing changed for me.

All this stuff going on but my life is still exactly the same. So what do I care about these people going belly up? I don=t.

And I don= t want my money used to help them out. I don=t care what happens to these companies. And you know what? These fat cats don=t care either.

All they want is an opportunity to steal more money. They are going to do that.

But I=m not going to take the screwing without letting everyone I can know I=m getting screwed.
