The only place where I kind of disagree is that government can't completely let people take care of themselves. There should have been a law preventing banks from swindling people into those loans. Many people took the loans because they didn't understand them (which better education could have helped prevent). Not saying there aren't plenty of people that took them and figured they'd get some kind of bail out. That definately happend. But some didn't know. I feel bad for them. And with Katrina, the people that made it out and recovered well are the people that had family and friends in other states they could lean on. I'm not saying that the government should pay off everyone's debts that made bad load decisions. But government should do it's best to protect us from being swindled and provide for our health and safety. Every man for himself is unreasonable (not saying this was your proposal) However, you are so right that these politicians are not voting in our interests and we need some kind of revolution. Any ideas on how to start and what our goals should be? Great post. The only place where I kind of disagree is that government can’t completely let people take care of themselves.
