Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest Govt Action

[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

Larry,

I feel the same way to some extent...  The government owns a majority of 
the land and property in our country, like it or not, and is the largest 
employer (isn't that mostly socialism?).  Realistically though I can not 
say the government is spending my ~800 billion...  I never made that 
much money...  But I do not like the notion of my tax dollars bailing 
out these greedy folks and the less than highly intelligent folks who 
over extended themselves due to lack of planning or math skills...  Nor 
do I like my tax dollars paying for yet another squad car to give me a 
speeding ticket.  That money should go to other socialist activities 
that my family and I can benefit from such as better schools, better 
roads, shorter lines at the DMV, cheaper medical care, cheaper energy, 
cheaper food, easier air travel, fewer criminals, and better snow removal. 

:)  But hey its a freight train...  Don't get in front of it, just 
figure out how to hobo onto a car and ride it out...   It could be 
worse, you could be stuck in Houston cooking all your steaks since your 
fridge has no power...   Darn now I want to go have a nice steak dinner...

I hear the govt has been pumping money into Fannie and Freddie - 2 more semi-govt companies being run into the run by govt regs demanding loans be made to people who cannot afford to pay the loans back - yet these companies are getting ~$800 Billion of mine and your hard earned dollars!  The same govt that created the problem is throwing more money at it!  We keep getting shoved farther and farther into the failure that is spelled "Socialism".
