Precisely. This phony scandal is an attack on the free market contractual system. AIG and these execs are just the pawns de jure used to accomplish what is in fact a very malicious agenda. Frankly, given Dodd's complicity in exempting these bonus arrangements from TARP, and Congress' intentional "no strings attached, we'll just trust the Treasury Secretary" policy, I think they were set up intentionally for this charade. IOW, If it wasn't them, it would be somebody else. The goal is a command and control system---one need only see what kind of people Frank, Schumer and Obama *are* to understand what they are really trying to do. They are authoritarians, pure and simple. They have zero compunction abrogating private contractual arrangements, seizing private property or criminalizing the free exercise of Constitutional rights. During the Bush years these loudmouths were the biggest whiners about abuse of power. It was really a classic case of projection---they were projecting on Bush and the Republicans who they really are, and their frequent ranting created a perception that was completely false. Now that they are in power, they are really doing the things they accused Bush and Republicans of doing, with impunity, since after all, everyone does it, right? It's really sad to watch. I hope people wake up before it's too late. I hate the thought that my kids will be suffering the rest of their lives for this generation's idiocy. And at the rate Obama is racking up multi-trillion dollar initiatives on top of the bailouts, it will likely be three or four generations before we can set things aright. Even the Chinese are balking at the apparent goal of hyperinflation and devaluation that the Obama administration is pursuing with these fiscal policies. You can tax every man, woman and child at 200% and still not pay for this agenda. It's deliberate enslavement. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
