<p>All this bullshit bailout talk has gotten me thinking about how f*cking-halfass backwards this whole situation is, as well as our country. The government gave AIG Billions of  taxpayer dollars to do what with&#8230;give BONUSES to CEO&#8217;s???? WTF?</p>
<p>A bonus(in my definition) is meant to reward someone for hard work or a job well done. Common sense tells us that AIG&#8217;s business practice has been less than perfect. Who at AIG deserves a fucking bonus?(Rewarded for running a company into the ground????) I&#8217;m pissed that our government even gave them money. Fuck &#8216;em!!!, they screwed up all on their own&#8230;but, the government steps in and hands them an unimaginable amount of money&#8230;</p>
<p>Can you even visualize that amount of money? I can&#8217;t(our mainstream media has numbed us to the real value of money, by constantly throwing huge figures in our face.)</p>
<p>If AIG posted record losses totalling in the Billions, why jump to give them un-earned money. Obviously they&#8217;re paying themselves too much compared with what they&#8217;re bringing in as a business. This is the catalyst of something bigger to come!</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no hope for improving our country unless WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE stand up and voice our opinions and displeasure in the way our tax payer&#8217;s money is being used and also the way our country is being governed.</p>
<p>The people running our government are getting away with all this shit because most American&#8217;s are so damn busy with work, bills, raising families and voting for American Idol, that they can&#8217;t see through the lies &amp; wool that&#8217;s been pulled over their eyes.</p>
<p>In my honest opinion, a large percentage of Americans are willfully ignorant, they accept the way things are and rarely ever question authority, we call them Sheeple&#8230;.and the few Americans who actually have common sense and voice their opinions are usually labeled as being un-American/patriotic. But, as Bill Maher said &#8220;I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out it&#8217;s flaws?&#8221;</p>
<p>About my thought process:<br />
I do not side with any one political party or belief system, nor do I use labels to associate myself with any one group or ideology. I am always learning new things and my view point is constantly being updated and refined, so therefore I think it&#8217;s unintelligent to put my foot down and say that any one thing is totally/ultimately TRUE.<br />
Life is uncertain, unexplained, and less than perfect!</p>
