Ben Bernake, "We must enhance the confidence of the investors"...
A national sales tax, less money for education, bust the teachers unions, get rid of social security.

How can the U.S. be competitive on the world market when we are cutting education?

Paul Volker, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner,... pushing for a "Value Added Tax" on EVERYTHING from soup to nuts.

How about a tax on Wall Street? A tax on secret derivative trading & Credit Default Swaps?

No... I didn't think so. Billions $$ for Wall Street.. not a dime for tax payers...

1. How about going after the 54,000 American tax cheats with accounts in UBS Bank?
Thats' one bank in one foreign country. Just think of how many others there are.

SOBs need to go after the real criminals...

2. ...without publicly revealing what the Fed does with "its" dollars.
It's a real tricky job Bernanke has there.

3. Investors would have more confidence if they knew the market...
...was actually regulated to the extent that they weren't going to be ripped off by this year's Madoff.
