The Rich Get Richer
Okay, so by now most people have heard about these God-awful bailouts that congress is just throwing at banks. Most people know that the only people benefiting from these bailouts are the stinking-rich executives that need a good ass-kicking from each and every person who they’ve casually laid off.
Well I’ve just found out about one particular scum-bucket bank who decided to not only take a 1.6 billion dollar bailout that they claim they didn’t even request, but to add insult to injury they just recently threw a HUGE bash in L.A to celebrate the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club for the PGA.
There are no words for how completely horrible this is. The bash lasted most of the week following the PGA and included performances by Sheryl Crowe, Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire (who are all on my crap list from here on out). Guests dined on fillet and seared salmon and the ladies received gift bags from Tiffany & Co. We can only hope that they all got horrific food poisoning…
The cost of all these INSANELYexpensive treats for the filthy rich? Millions…I can’t even imagine a punishment bad enough for these people. There has to be some kind of repercussions for these banks who WASTE OUR MONEY! So much for “Change”. I am incredibly disappointed in our congress who probably got some kind of kick-back for these bailouts.
Oh and I forgot to mention, this bank who threw the lavish cash burning bash laid off 4% of their workforce in December of last year. That’s 450 working class folks who most likely wouldn’t have even been on the guest list to begin with. As they say, The Rich get Richer, and the Poor get Poorer.

As long as we keep throwing money at these banks the more they will spend. There is no policing of this money. Who knows what they are gonna do with all that money. And now our government wants to take over the banks…the banks need to file for bankruptcy like ever other idiot that over spends. We can’t keep helping out these banks.
