Bil Maher - New Rules February 20 2009

Death isn't a fitting punishment for those assholes. They learn nothing from death. The best way to punish a rich person is to make them a poor person. Seize their assets, sell all their belongings, subdivide their property into low income housing, put them to work doing some minimum wage menial task where they work 35 hours a week so they can't get any benefits (you know like the majority of the people who are going to be paying for their failings), and then you pay someone (from the seized money) to follow them around and blog about their life struggling to make ends meet. Forcing them live like the rest of us workin' stiffs for the rest of their lives will be the start of a proper punishment.

I still don't understand why this bailout was allowed to go through. Everyone I know and even those I don't know (internet ppl) disapproved and yet our REPRESENTATIVES sign off. What the hell is going on? These assholes are still raking in millions of dollars (our dollars) when their company is failing.

It's all just absurd. And I agree with HollywoodBob... take it all away. How these greedy bastards are safe and unharmed, both physically and financially, is beyond me.

If it was just one bank failing, they would have let it fail. But this was a LOT of banks about to fail. That would have decimated the economy, probably making the US and many other western countries into third world nations overnight.

It took me a while to figure it out too.

The politicians were tripping over themselves to give away money, because they were not going to be blamed for the resulting fallout of a collapsed economy.

Destruction of the economy on such a global level such as might have happened had the banks been allowed to fail could quite possibly been the best thing for the world. The banks needed to be propped up to maintain a monetary economy that is essential to class stratification.

A paradigm shift in global economics will happen within this century, might as well get it over with now.
