2. Thank you.

It's apparently not as popular of an idea as I'd hoped.

3. The Swedish success in the early 90s hinged on an equity stake.
We must have the same.
Emailed Schumer and Clinton yesterday.

4. Exactly... I thought maybe we should demand better this time.
I'm calling over and over. Everyone I can get through to.

13. I agree! I want my socialism!

We're being handed the keys to the castle and people are too scared, pissed off, or suspicious to realize it.

Dennis Kucinich I believe was the first to raise this point, and today it's approved in the lead editorial of the NY Times!

I know I get hammered for this here, but with proper discounted valuation of the mortgage backed securities plus an equity stake, shit, this could pay for universal health care.

Think of the scale of all the profits those fuckers made over the last decade; that will belong to the US Treasury.

15. THANK YOU! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one here who sees this as an OPPORTUNITY!
:bounce:

I'm talking to anyone who'll listen, sending out myspace bulletins, e-mails... by the end of the day I'll have a flyer to hand out at the grocery store tonight.

18. So did anyone else call?
I had the hardest time getting through, all day long. I'm hoping that's a very good sign. :)

19. I'm sorry to self-kick this but I really do think we have an opportunity here
and need to flood their offices with this demand.
