SEC. 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS.
DIVISION A—APPROPRIATION PROVISIONS
The lack of regulation in all areas of the stock market has been the primary cause of our present melt down. Wall Street, the biggest unregulated gambling machine has allowed the plutocrats to manipulate the market so the small investor is at their mercy.
We broke away from the Royalty of the British Empire with their Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, Lords and Ladies, Dukes and Duchesses,with their Castles and extravagant living.
We have substituted CEO’s, COO’s, Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Junior Vice Presidents, Senior Department Heads, etc., along with their wives and consorts. They carefully guard their Mansions, Estates, Yachts, private Planes and all the toys of their affluence.
Who has the power to dethrone these plutocrats ??
How and when will we return to the basics of a country of the people, by the people and for the people. ???
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and insure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do (again) ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States”
Frank, you say;
“Distribution of wealth predisposes one to suppress ambitions. What is gained when hard work and long hours are used to support a person with a poor work ethic? The work ethic is lost when there is no penalty for not working”.
Who sets the standards of how wealth should be distributed??
Is it the hard working person who must work two jobs at minimum wage to survive ?
Or is it the person who inherited a fortune, and along with fellow plutocrats establish the wage scale; putting themselves at the top of the mountain and denigrating the average worker to the bottom??
Is it fair distribution when the corporate system gives the top earners 100 to 200 times the income of the minimum wage earner ?
This is worse than “taxation without representation”; it is the epitome of greed and unethical distribution of wealth.
Gambling with other peoples money has become respectable; when they win they keep the profits; when they lose they ask the government for welfare support.
Does anyone know how the congress was able to put together 1075 pages of a bill that encompasses, among all the other things, the right of the State Legislators to override the Governor if he/she should choose not to take the money. It is amazing that they were so prepared. Seems to me it was well planned in advance.
