Sir;... What nasty trash are you dumping in the public square??? The government owns nothing of the Banks... G.W.Bush said no representative from government would be seated on the bank boards... So what kind of ownership is that??? You own your car??? Doesn't it go where you say??? Don't you drive it as well as pay for it??? Do you own your house without the power to tell strangers to get the hell out??? Who has ownership without control??? The fact is, that government money was given to the banks, no strings attached... It was a gift of the public purse from the thieves in government to the thieves in finance attended with no little ceremony... And it is meaningless because there is no control, and no consideration... Everybody is just hooked on the system, and all people fear to live without it... What if they have too??? How will people make it??? If it fell tomorrow, and could not get up, the people would go on as they always have; but so long as they do not know that to be true, they have to live in fear of the dominoes falling...Thanks...
