Let It Drown

To hell w/ the whole fucking mess. Don't bail out one of these fucking incompetents or fraudsters or cheats or whatever they are. Just let them go to hell. The only laws or regulations that our gov't. should propose or pass are those fulfilling the cynical promise of the "free" market, that those who "risk" (& therefore, bleat the glibertarians, should be well-rewarded) should be punished if their hare-brained schemes & scams go south. That is, some sort of GIVE BACK OUR MONEY Act that will confiscate all the money, wealth, property & anything else of the slightest value that belongs to anyone (well, we'll limit it to upper management, although no one employed by these rapacious corporations is innocent) involved in the financial crisis/meltdown/standard operation of capital that fills our airwaves, Internets & news racks. Then these captains of industry & finance can be placed in jobs digging ditches, greeting at Wal*Mart, & doing yard work for illegal immigrants. We'll see how long it takes for their business genius & entrepreneurial spirit to come up w/ clever new ideas revolutionizing the yard work, greeting & manual labor fields, thereby creating new jobs & wealth, & restoring their socio-economic preeminence. Do not, however, hold your breath, except for the part where they're all drowning. P. S.: An added bonus of this Act would be that the next idiot who opened his or her fat yap concerning the wisdom of the market, the horrors of regulation, etc., ad nauseum, would, it is to be devoutly hoped, be dragged from the studio whence s/he spoke, or the Ikea computer desk whence they typed, & beaten soundly on the bottom of the feet w/ bamboo canes. For starters.
