Because I don't.


I. Do. Not.

Don't tell me it's all for the greater good, it will be worse if we don't,etc. Let the CEO's and CFO's bail their companies out. Mohterf******rs!!!

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I think it's interesting that 5-10 years ago, it was the banks and credit card companies that lobbied for changes to the bankruptcy laws so that individuals would find it much harder to file for bankruptcy and gain protection from their creditors. These lenders were engaging in predatory lending and wanted to be able to keep the thumbscrews on their debtors to collect every last cent.

Now it's the banks who need the protecting, and they are coming to the tax payers to ask for the handout.

They didn't want us to have protection, and now they are begging for protection.
