The federal government seems to believe that, even though they haven't been paying taxes, we should use tax dollars to bail out America's failing financial institutions. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about how corporations (like AIG) managed to avoid the IRS for years by hiding their money in offshore accounts. These are the same companies who are being rescued by the $700 billion bailout.

1. If "only poor people pay taxes" maybe only poor people should benefit from

what those taxes go to pay for... Oh wait, this is America. Sorry, silly idea.

2. And people still naively

believe that congress represents we the people. Congress is nothing but a facade for the plutocracy that runs this country.

3. I keep saying it....

This bailout is the last big ripoff of the Bush "Fraudulency"...These companies are going to move it all offshore so they can hide the kickbacks to the "bushies" and no one will see it happen.
:wtf:
