If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Taxed for a Crazy Woman

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we told that the various bailout funds being given to banks because if they failed there'd be catastrophic consequences?
Without these bailouts our way of life would be devestated, our economy turned into a shambles, life as we knew it would no longer be feasible, right?

So, you mean to tell me that without the Crazy Woman Creek Bancorp of Buffalo fucking Wyoming, our world would crumble down around us? Is that why they got $3.1 MILLION of MY money? Because without them, my reality would cease to fucking exist? I am really getting pissed off here...

Some other 'institutions' that support our economy. Institutions who are brave enough and bold enough to ensure smooth flowing capital and trade around the world. Who are single handedly keeping you in your job:
Hometown Bancorp of Alabama in Oneonta Alabama.
The Private Bank of California.
DeSoto County Bank in Horn Lake Mississippi.
First Express of Nebraska.
The Little Bank Incorporated in Kinston NC.

Were it not for these pillars of our economy all would be lost. Too big to fail.

The complete list of TARP and various other government bailout fund recipients can be found here:

Too big to fail my ass...

THIS is whyipaytaxes.

Silver lining?
If Bush were still in charge of giving away this money, there wouldn't be a published list...

Hate to say it, but that last line is true... If Dubya was still in charge, there wouldn't be any evidence.

Not that I'm condoning this either.

Oops! In an effort to make their site 'easier to navigate' the link to the money we gave away has disappeared...

PLEASE POST A COMMENT REQUESTING THE LIST! BLOGGER WILL NOTIFY ME OF YOUR COMMENT, AND I WILL E-MAIL YOU A COPY. Because I kept a copy...
