DougR;

It is not what "Democrats" do, it is what governments do. It may be your indignation is that you would prefer the system of plutocracy ripping off the large middle population of America with underhanded schemes while being protected by the wiles and guns of government. Unfortunatley, I think your kind have already demonstrated that there is something deeply rotten in that method. How soon do you think we should forget all about the mortgage scandal, the AIG bonus scandal and the other fat-cat greed-driven dishonesties that got us where we are? You think this back-slapping inside big-money game is the right way to run the country? Have you NO conscience?

How about instead we at least have an agreed-upon set of rules, which we can change through due process, and which imposes stasndards of ethics on financial operations? How about we have some transparency as to where the money is going, and who is acquiring it? How about we seek to acheive NOT just the good of a group of shareholders and executives, but a more general good for the nation, through a more rational method of balancing personalprofit and public duty? Or is the sense of public duty soimething that has evaporated in your arid view of the world?

Would you like to build a stronger country, top to bottom, or just a stronger set of wealthy aristocrats with wage-serfs in attendance and support at every hand? Come off it, Doug.
