Let's see now ... we have a leader that "cried wolf" once and we ended in a war, and now we are to believe this bailout MUST happen. This makes many American's pretty nervous! Wonder way?

All the "experts" when interviewed and asked how a lack of bailout will effect the "average" American (who is paying the freight AGAIN) can't really do more than pass on more gobble-d-gook and avoid a hard answer. I can only assume that is because it won't ... but it WILL puncture a heck of a lot of corporate balloons!

IF we end up (as we probably will) bailing out corporate America again (at OUR expense) then why not pass a flat tax for all of us including corporate America? This way most tax payer's will get the relief that has been long due, and corporate America can put enough money in the coffers for a change that they won't need to hose the average person again!

Gee ... common sense ... we sure can't have that, right?
