Want to read something brilliant on investors in America?

Ethan, I agree with Farrell's assessment. We've are the victims of continual lies, yet we are unwilling to question them. We accept the lies as truth because we do not question. We truly are the suckers P.T. Barnum liked to take money from. We are the ideal kind of host that the financial parasites love to prey on.

Its a sickening thought. Even the latest move by Geithner, the Public-Private Investment Fund plan could be yet another way to take more wealth from the public. What if one of the bailout firms takes part of our money (TARP) and buys their own assets which then the plan supplements for as much as 50%-90% of the purchase? What if one of the friend of the Fed companies does the same? Its just another knife in the back of the taxpayer, another "Please may I have another..knife in my back" plan to the already victimized (the every-day American).

We are constantly lied to...to the point that we think it is okay, that it is business as usual and nothing is wrong. Yet we wonder how so many have lost their jobs, why housing prices are falling (why they rose like that in the first place), and why our investments have been raided?

We think that Bernie Maddoff and Stanford are the ONLY crooks? While the many other crooks shoot up the town and have a party at least once a week on the U.S. taxpayer...and we do nothing about it. Its like we have been hypnotized. In the very least, its propaganda on a grand scale. We sit by and suck it up, our happiness fades, our wallets become thinner...Very very sad :(
