The Wall Street Bailout: Why We Deserve it Dividends and Shares!!

Why the Hell Not??

Ever since America and the World started discussing the Bailout plan, I have been repeatedly saying to my friends, family and now you - that "If I am to contribute to this investment, I deserve some dividends and shares." I mean we live in the land that Capitalism built - and investors earn returns on their investments so, why should this be any different?

Let's take a look back a few weeks, when the argument was: The "Economy is fundamentally sound," to the point when a presidential debate was almost called off because - a "Maverick" or two were going to take on Washington and single-handedly solve a global financial crisis in less than 24 hours.

Now, we all seem to have shifted and come to agreement that CHANGE (literally and figuratively) is the only thing we can Believe In. I'm sure that admission has been a hard pill for some to swallow - but hubris is a tough one to let go of. But -anyhow, I'm now thinking that in the midst of all this hoopla and shift in dialogue/rhetoric from Surges, to Baby Daddies, Racism and Sexism - the reality remains that we are ALL in a whole load of Sh**!

Okay, so this morning President George W. Bush, faced the nation and after 8 years of drama announces that with BI-PARTISAN participation, we have reached an agreement for a BAIL-OUT of Wall Street in which Main Street will be actively participating or the SKY WILL FALL!!! I'm thinking aren't these the same people who said that they could not bailout Main Street with their mortgage crisis - 'cause they should have known better? Then I flashed back to Fox News Neil Cavuto - who suggested that the US economic mess was caused by Minorities and less than qualified folks - Now, the "Qualified Folks" want us to help them out??

I'm so confused - but moving along because I realize that we are in the middle of some critical negotiations and there has to be some give and take. So, I would like to share this email I received from my girlfriend Amie (love ya girl) - that was supposedly initiated by one T. J. Birkenmeier, who describes himself as "A Creative Guy & Citizen of The Republic."
