Weird Acronym and a rant

Rate: 3 Flag

AIG is missing the “C” for All I Can Get

 It’s been said before but I’ll say it again.  Those who control the toys make the rules.  In this case the toy is the economy and the Government has allowed outside forces to control the economy.  It's time to take back the toys!

 Too big to fail should mean too big to be.  The derivatives market was bigger than the world GDP…  Did we really need to know more than that to know we were in trouble?

 There are people who cannot get medical insurance due to a “previous condition” that can be controlled with medical attention but AIG is insuring “bets”?

 Enough is enough!  Oh, I forgot; nobody knows the meaning of that word anymore…

 This country is, was and should always be for the people, not the corporations. 

 The Constitution states “We the people” not we the corporation.  It was ordained to establish justice, which we have let erode, to insure domestic tranquility, which has been lost, provide for the common defense, which has turned to aggression, to promote the general welfare, which has become specific to the upper class, and secure the blessings of liberty, which has not felt so blessed or liberated  lately.

Perhaps we need  a new document to re-establish the drive and desires this country was founded on!

How do we get you a high priority position in Washington? You make more sense than anyone there! You're so right, go back to and follow the guidelines this great county was founded on. Promote the general welfare.
Here, Here - Trevor! Well said.

It took over 200 years to get to this point and it looks like it took only 20 odd years to wreck it. How has our country become so complacent? Where is the desire to serve? Where is the honor to do right for your fellow man?

Greed, decadence, self and 'to hell with others' are now the rally cries. As you said, enough. Bring back our vow to be responsible citizens for the good of all.
