For future reference: Should we NOT nominate tax cheats to be Treasury Secretary and oversee the IRS?

Yes the US government should tax AIG because it will like the IMF support bailouts of EU countries and the majority of the money is US capital. Banking in the US should be regulated, since the federal government underwrites them, and to make sure our bailout monies are used properly. We cannot legally Investment houses but we can and should regulate them and short traders.

At this point after the bailouts that would be taxing the banks for what was our money in the first place and giving it to people. This sounds like the idea of a mad man.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
