"Nothing moral or compassionate when you take money out of one man's wallet and place it in another" Ever heard of Medicare? Medicaid? Some of the extended beneficiaries of Social Security? Any of your elderly family members partaking in these programs? Because I want them out of my "wallet" immediately, as I'm not feeling particularly moral or compassionate toward these people I don't even know. Everyone for themselves, you know. No helping hands for those you personally judge to be undeserving, situational realities be damned! Brilliant post! *applause* *applause* I hate MM like poison.

Doesn't matter that all these rich guys tried to make a quick buck over easy credit offered to people who honestly shouldn't have been granted that---fuck 'em they lose for being "stupid" to think they could own a home in an "ownership society". Tell me...what is the difference between offering healthcare to the working poor or bailing out a really stupid investment firm? There is nothing moral or compassionate about helping a <b>company</b> who speculated on investments knowing that all investments carry some kind of risk.
