That bailout of Wall Street was a disastrous mistake. It's tragic that the American people have not done as well as the people who ran their own car off in a ditch and then had their neighbors involuntarily pull it out for them, and now they've used that car to run over the rest of America. I hope my friends have pointed out the injustice that's going on on Wall Street since they donate 4-1 to Democrats over Republicans. Hopefully, they'll get with their big donors, and will help them realize that they need to quit taking from America and that we need to get a level playing field.
