    Should Thieves Go To Jail?

     

     

    Paraphrasing Mark Twain and showcasing his incredible insight.

     

     

    Suppose you were a thief and suppose you worked on Wall Street.  But I repeat myself.

     

     

    Current Scenario - What do you do?

     

     

    One of the Wall Street bailout candidates comes to your house.  You answer the door and he is pointing a gun at you.  He immediately demands that you give him $2,333 for every person who lives in your house, what do you do?

     

     

    Would you hand over the money?  Would you call the police or the FBI?  Perhaps you should call your "Honorable" Member of Congress?

     

     

    Any of those things will do about as much good as spitting into a stiff headwind - the results are not going to be that great.  This is our current situation.  But, if we act there is hope.

     

     

    On Monday, September 29, 2008 a few of our congress critters listened to their constituents and voted against the $700 Billion Theft.  It would be my pleasure to name them all here but there is not enough space.

     

     

    Even though they have taken Tuesday off, we are certainly generous with OUR representatives in congress - aren't we? - if you have the time look up their Washington phone number through a search engine (use - congressional directory) and tell them you don't want Wall Street thieves stealing your money.

     

     

    Don't let them eat your Cake or Pork!
