In May, the Harris people asked a sampling of over 2,600 Americans to rate the following on whether they are "honest and trustworthy". This poll explains alot about American responses to the Wall Street bailouts.
"Honest and Trustworthy"
25% Banks
14% Accounting Firms
13% Life Insurance companies and Fiancial Planning Trusts
12% Health Insurance companies
7% Investment Firms
6% Mortgage Companies
4% Wall Street
4% Credit Card Companies
67% of Generation X (33-44) and 61% of Baby Boomers (45-63) do not consider any of these honest and trustworthy at all.
This contrasts with 52% of Echo Boomers (18-32) and 53% of Matures (64-) who do not consider any of them honest and trustworthy.
64% of people earning under $35,000 said that none are honest and trustworthy.
48% of people earning $50-75,000 said that none are honest and trustworthy.
A real vote of confidence for the Private Sector. But it doesn't harm them. They just buy the system and the taxpayers bail them out. Why shouldn't they have gazillion dollar bonuses? Some one should live well in these tough times. Now that they are persons again, can they marry? Can they bear arms? Hey, what about paying taxes?
The Supreme Court Decision is a catastrophic failure that puts the remnants left of our democracy in total danger. With Dick Cheney's Unitary Executive and this decision you can have a genuine fascist state. Don't even pretend otherwise.
