No Taxation Without Representation!
Why should we pay taxes anymore? I understand that many folks need this bailout to save their retirements, mortgages, etc. But why should we take such good care of those at the top, the rich fucks who caused this shit? If the taxpayer is made to pay for this bailout, shouldn't these companies be nationalized? I'm certainly no expert, but at the root of this stuff is a lot of greed by those at the top.

3. The government has you by the balls. You have no choice but to pay for it.
Either they bail them out or the whole system collapses & takes you with it.
