3. We've lost every deal that's been made with the banking
industry.

They ruined our economy and have bankrupted us for a generation to try to keep them afloat. Then they turn around and screw every taxpayer in sight and every other company that's failing because of their previous actions (who do you think forced the issue of Chrysler filing for bankruptcy). There is no transparency with the TARP or what the fed has done to keep them afloat...

They are the worst kind of parasite... they are an ungrateful parasite.

We won't win this fight either.

Love Bernie. But this one is over even before it starts.

The money grubbers still run the show in DC.

5. At least he is trying and the more we can gather with the pitch forks
and the sooner we start building the guillotines, the sooner we may get some action in our favor.

The last two elections were a revolution despite all attempts to steal them. They were a revolution in that incumbents were no longer guaranteed their seats and in that feet on the street and small donations could over power big money and selfish-self interest.

Many of our elected officials have not gotten the message yet, but by 2010 if we can keep our anger boiling (and daily it only gets hotter), then they may begin to understand that they need to be our whores and not the whores of special interest and big money.

9. I agree. But 15% as the cap--the highest, is better than 30+
which is very common and I don't believe there is any cap at all, so it could go higher.

I think that a 9-12% cap would be acceptable--cap, not average. But I can live with 15% if the average were ore in the 7-9% range.
