As the US economy began to collapse a few years ago because of the scandalous Wall Street shenanigans, did those men responsible go to prison? On the contrary, their banks were bailed out by our government and they then proceeded to pay themselves huge multi-million dollar bonuses; as they do to this day.

Meanwhile my 401k plan has lost tens of thousands of dollars. Dollars that I have worked all my life to accumulate toward my retirement. In addition, the value of my home plummeted by over 40%. Many of my less fortunate neighbors went broke. Those same ripoff bankers then took away their houses in foreclosure and threw them out into the street.

I’m way past retirement age now but I’m still working. I may have to continue working until I die just to get along. Is this justice? Had I been the one to rip off their banks you can be sure they would see to it that I went to prison for a long time. So I ask, why are those greedy individuals still free and living in unfettered luxury with their million dollar penthouses, their yachts and their planes? Why?

Most of my life I had considered myself a conservative Republican. But I am beginning to see the folly of this position. You can be sure I’m going to be very careful as to whom I vote for from now on.

You can also be sure that if I could I would go down to Wall Street and join those protesters, even if it meant getting my eyes blasted with pepper-spray.

Does anyone here agree?
