Reply #45: Banking system and economic terrorism [View All]

[mdohoney]

Has anyone thought to call what the banking system without adequate controls "economic terrorism"

The people who perpetrated below prime loans should be labeled economic terrorists and hauled off to Gitmo. What they have done to the lives of average Americans is far more painful and distructive to the general welfare than 9/11.

The Oil companies who are hi-jacking the American consumer right now are economic terrorists who are getting away with trashing our economy in the name of capitalism. This is not capitalism but pure and simple greed.

The Neocons and Republicans who initiated the war in Iraq draining the national treasury and the national line of credit in the name of protecting us from terrorists have committed a terroristic act that is far more damaging to the national character of this country than the real terrorists we are supposed to fear. We are now less capable of taking care of the problems here at home for the sake of hopeless nation building.

The fruits of economic terrorism is fear: the fear of loosing our home; the fear of loosing our livelyhood;the fear of not being able to care for our families who are taken ill; the fear of not being able to obtain a quality education for our young folks. Yes, indeed, the fear created by trying to kill the new deal by destroying out society is an act of economic terrorism warrenting the severest penalties.

Many Bankers, oil company execs, and leaders of the executive branch who caused these problems need to spend some time at Gitmo til they get it that they are criminals.

Thank you for listening to my rant
