The treasury on the way out the door.

Bernard L. Madoff entered a federal courtroom in Manhattan on
Thursday to admit that he had run a vast Ponzi scheme that robbed
thousands of investors of their life savings.


He admitted his guilt for the first time in public, and apologized to his victims, dozens of whom were squeezed into the courtroom benches behind him, before being
handcuffed and led away to jail to await sentencing.
But under Capitalism, where selfishness and greed of the rich is
given a license and they run the government which was heighten by
Bush's example! This bailout is really not a bailout at all; it’s a
parting gift to the people that the Bush—that George Bush once referred
to jokingly as “my base.” It to what European colonial rulers used to
do when they finally realized they had to hand over power; they would
loot the treasury on the way out the door.
They make the laws, what chance do the poor have? They supposedly
vote, so what? They vote for one greedy capitalist or another. Every
one of the men running for office are rich men, what are they going to
do for the poor? Throw'm out a few crumbs? A few bones to pacify the
dogs?
