money, that's what I want

money, that's what I want

A Poem by Nan
"

greed has hit the glass ceiling

"

Chinese infants are dying from baby formula

laced with melamine, a few years ago, it was

dogs and cats dying in the US

 

The US government agrees to bail out AIG insurance

and Whoopi Goldberg asks when the feds are going to

bail out the American people, she's got the right idea.

 

Millions have lost their homes in Galveston and along the

Gulf coast where Ike ravaged the coastline, it's only the beginning

of more disaster economics  where big hotels and casinos

might be built instead of places where folks can actually live.

 

But surely, I have to give credit where credit is due

and the bill is due now, don't you know

if you don't have the money for that latest gadget

maybe it's time not to buy it?

 

Recent studies have shown that young people don't think

the bills ever come due and that they can scam their way through

until their credit is trashed and they've killed off their future.

 

Now, try to buy an house with just one ding on your credit report:

it's a new life right now. I wrote about bankers but here's the show

they've been watching in the past years. Brokers, investment companies,

savings and loans, taking big risks and spreading it all over the world.

Place your index fingers in the air and point them

right and left, and say "It's their fault"

democracy has hit the economic sector

of the world.

democracy has hit the economic sector / of the world.
_______________Socioalisation of capitalism is what is happening in US; that's because the government is taken ownership of private debts........this is the absolute antithesis of everything .....isn't it? It s not a salvation in my opinion, even it looks like one � I started to get the impresson that American tax payers are soon to be in debts to somewhere between 10 and 100 trillion dollars .. the trouble is that ppl don t translated yet: say that you have 100 millions ppl and every week they pay 100 dollar in taxes. then this means that to cover debts amount now these ppl are looking at least 1 000 weeks of taxes .....just to cover this debts! This means, that American tax payers are in debts for at least � 20 years..... just to pay what they borrowed until now...... When I have a panoramic look at this and I look at the taxation of Americans and those on-going costs, health system, education, army, science, state mashinery....... then there is no way that Ameicans can pay off this debts.. when then?
great writing.. and we all stick there. we all stick there.germanKreditanstalt f�r Wiederaufbau gave Lehman on Monday 300 mio euro.......something like this nobody in Germany has seen before (just news say everywhere.. and all is going to be payed by German tax payers.. what a bunch of manipulants and gauners..) and they knew about bancrupcy...of course they knew.. ha ha now Budestag (goverment) is wondering....how was this possible... what a bunch of greedy bast***** those german managers are sitting in this that gremium and influence here and there and: utterly corrupt thea are...

Good point Nan, bail out the people and the people might be free enough to bail out the nation.. But the rate its going in the end all that might be left is usless paper and metal.

The whole thing is quite sensless if you look at it... wow I mean save finance institutions but not the people that build them? Hu? Yeah, were is the worth?

Very political of late here Nan =)
