Transfer of Funds

[Jim O'Bryan]

Seven years ago, and I am sure this could go back 25 years or more, some of us were having a coffee, and that week the first Bush Tax Refund came down the pipe.

If you remember this was the one, that gave all Americans about a can of Pepsi a day. While we were all aglow with our new found wealth, gas climbed $0.25. Now many questioned the sanity of a refund as we were headed off to war. Others questioned the very odd transfer of wealth.

I can list hundreds of examples over the last eight years.

Some of us saw it as the shaking out and transfer of wealth that it was. At that table we even joked that "$$$ in the Attic" shows were nothing more than. We got all their money, lets see what is in their attics we want.

Now today, they are looking at the largest bailout in American history. This in a record breaking week, where every day we say the record broken for bailouts.

So now, the government uses taxpayers money, to bailout the people that gambled and won personally on our money, to buy loans against taxpayers, while "hoping to make a profit" on taxpayers, and then eventually sell these loans off to the companies they just bailed out with tax payers money, to once again hold these loans on taxpayers.

I really think it is a time to step, in, and say whoa!

The Great Depression, was neither Great nor Depressing for some. Joe Kennedy entered the Great Depression a hundred thousandaire, 7 years later his estimated worth was $10 million. The great depression was a select group, busting American so that they could buy companies, and properties for pennies on the dollar.

As some of us speak of "the Slaughter of Cities" this is truly The Slaughter Of America.
