Bail This Out, Lout!!

Here's an idea "conservatives" should be in favor of. It's a common sense return to the old days, when people worked for a living by creating real, physical products, or by providing an actual service that often involved objects & non-metaphysical stuff. And in those glorious days of restraint & responsibility, when someone wanted something, they saved their money until they could buy it outright, rather than entering a permanent state of debt. How about more of this, & fewer financial markets, obscure "financial instruments," investments, & other ways for the already wealthy to play w/ money & create nothing from less-than-nothing. How about a new system? That is, no fucking system at all. Just real rewards for real work. Any takers? Remember John Smith of whatever that colony was? "No work, no eat, spoiled imperialist spawn of the aristocracy!!" And just as there is no mention of "gawd" in the Constitution, we don't recall any mention of capitalism as the only way things can go in these United Snakes.
