Look what these citizens did while we were having house parties!
I just found a very heartening video of hundreds of homeowners rallying in matching "Stop the Loan Sharks!" t-shirts, carrying posters, outside the Connecticut McMansions of some of the bankers who fleeced mainstream America and who are now complaining that they can't live off of $500,000/yr. provided to them compliments of us taxpayers.
Click on this link to go to NBC New York News, and then click on the video that's on the lower left-hand side of your screen. Those marchers could be any one of us!
Be sure to click on the slideshow that's just below the video for a roll call of the sheisters who made off with all the subprime mortgage booty and who now are struggling to pay their nannies, chauffers, and groundskeepers, without tapping into their offshore accounts made possible by lax financial regulations during the Bush administration.
Looks like the foxes are about to be evicted from the hen house!

CEO bailouts or aid to working middle-class homeowners?
This video is especially poignant after reading Lynn Woolsey's letter to Pelosi and the Appropriations Committee about Senate cuts to Obama's economic stimulus bill, including cuts to zero out $2.25 billion in aid to states and localities to stabilize home abandonments/foreclosures.
To those of us who don't think this foreclosure crisis affects us, think again. Every time someone loses their home in this bank-created fiasco, the home values for every homeowner in America go down. Just because you haven't lost your home in this greed-frenzy doesn't mean you're not losing equity/wealth you have spent years of hard work earning.
While CEO's are screaming about their salaries being capped at $500,000, and corporate America is claiming that CEO salary-capping will discourage America's best and brightest from continuing to do the "terrific jobs" they've been doing these last few decades for American business, GOP Senators are engaging in Capitol Hill histrionics about the "pork" in the stimulus package. Apparently, salary assistance for hedge fund managers will pull us out of this recession, while financial aid for communities to address home foreclosures is "pork."
