We, the people, should take every last effing dime they own from every CEO,
and every board member of every company on Wall Street that gets ANY money from the coming bailout. Beyond that, we should take every piece of property Dubya, Cheney, McCain and every politician, from Republicans to Blue Dog Democrats, who kept pushing this deregulation crap on us.

We should put Pelosi on the damned street for not impeaching the bastards when she had the chance.

They all screwed us, and they should all pay with every damned thing they have. They all should be holding fucking signs at the end of exit ramps from the interstates.

Bastards. Theives. All of them.

3. Damn f'ing right
I'm calling Kennedy, Kerry, and Franks in the morning demanding they freeze and seize assets of the Wall St crooks...every f'ing one of them. Sell the mansions, yachts, and retrieve the golden parachutes and bonuses the MF'ers took even though their own companies were tanking.

6. They wanted class warfare
They're gonna get class warfare, baby. Just driving up the freeway today, I was especially aware of the giant mega-SUVs passing everyone else at 80-85 mph and weaving in and out of traffic. These bastards have no empathy for their fellow citizens, and it's high time that they be forced to pay for their arrogance. I don't just want revenge, I want retaliation, retribution, remuneration, and if the Democrats cave in on this, well, I'm not sure what I can do.

And it's that feeling of helplessness that has me ready to stick a fist through the window of the next Escalade that whips by me because I'm only 7 mph over the speed limit.

10. I agree I hate those but many times the drivers are up to their neck in debt!
Or is the Escalade the new Mercedes Benz or Cadillac? Seems like more of a poser vehicle for young guys.

I've got callouses on my writing hand. He's a piece of shit Blue Dog who always votes with the Repukes. He should be one that's out on the street, too.

11. Off to the Greatest! I think that we should sell every house, car and
piece of jewelry the criminals own. They should be left with nothing. They certainly didn't mind dreaming up exotic formulas to dupe their fellow citizens into default. There should have been no, none,nada, subprime loans. They kne exactly what they were doing with all the bundling etc. and deserve to pay the piper.

13. MAYBE for them, when they are homeless, I'll give them a bottle
of water and something to eat. MAYBE. If I know it's them, though, I doubt it.

24. I saw some fairly decent boots at the Hill Country Recycle shop recently!
I bet these financial types have no idea about resale, Salvation Army or Goodwill stores. They should look at it as expanding their horizons.

22. I never want to hear about how much the rich pay in taxes.
They steal from the ordinary far more than they pay in taxes.

27. Deprive them of property and liberty
Strip them of all assets and jail them if at all possible on any charge that will stick.

The audacity of these filthy beings astonishes me. How dare they ask for a WELFARE CHECK from government when they are exactly the class that would begrudge someone a food stamp?

No bailout. Let them practice the beloved FREE MARKET they love to preach.

31. Close, but I think they should be in chains too.
And at the end of the day, it's right back to a cell. Repeat the same process tomorrow, and then the next day, and then the next, for however many years they deserve. In other words, the rest of their lives.

35. We the Peasants
do indeed need to rise up and take back our country. But I fear we've become too docile and easily distracted by American Idol, the latest missing blonde girl, and other BS that passes for news. We've become a nation of sheep.

37. Or, at the very least, least do the civilized thing...
...and levy an 80%+ windfall profits tax on any of their bonuses. Before the civil suits begin, even.

38. Citizen's arrest!
We need to go after these CEO's. We the people. They should never feel as if they are not being watched.

Problem is most will go over seas because they are treacherous bastards. After they have fucked the US economy they are going to go spend their spoils in South America.
