UM...That's great!  Glad to see they ended up in jai...oh...no they didn't.  The same millionaires are running the show?  That is justice box.  You rob somebody of an I-Pod and you go to jail, you rob people of billions, you settle in court.  Obama was as tough on thieving bankers as he was on people who started and illegal war and killed tens of thousands.  Democracy is great!

Cicero wants them to go to jail...
Hmmmmm Jail is a function of BIG GOVERNMENT!!!
And it's taxpayer funded!!!
Cicero wants our tax dollars to be taken from us to pay for some corrections officer to watch
over his Wall St criminals.  


See Cissy... YOU NEED YOUR GOVT!  


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Nope, just illustrating how BIG GOVERNMENT protects their corporate interests and the average mundane gets squashed like an ant.  Don't need the government to steal from the poor and give to the rich.  That's your bag.  You support it every time.  Whether it's your support of the theft before it happens, or your support of civil penalties after the theft.

Lincoln did?
Who fired the first shots of that war???
Who fought for the right to keep slaves in that war???
Of all those living in the South, how many supported that war?
Note:  I'm assuming that the 47% of the population of the South who were slaves
opposed the war and supported their own freedom.

Who prevented the south from leaving the Union?
Who forced the south to stay in the union after the war?  
Was slavery still legal in states after the emancipation proclamation??
If the war between the states was about ending slavery, why didn't the Union attack Maryland,New Jersey and other boarder states?

Bailed-Out Banks Donating To Obama's Inauguration
Huffington Post 01/14/09 05:22 PM ET

Citibank executives, who are expected to ask for another billion-dollar federal bailout on top of the $45 billion in rescue funds they received in November, are trying to buy the goodwill of Barack Obama -- or they just want to help the president-elect throw the best inauguration party in history.

Of the hundreds of banks and firms which have received bailout money, Citibank employees have contributed the most to Obama's inauguration fund -- at least $113,000 as of Wednesday.

Among those contributions is $50,000 from Ray McGuire, Citi's co-head of global investment banking, and $50,000 from Louis Susman, the recently-retired vice chairman of Citigroup.


Wow!  Citibank received $45 BILLION in a bailout, and had to pay $7 billion back.  And they were generous enough to give Obama nearly $1 million in campaign contributions.  

Yup, American justice was served!

labor is personal....if you have a farm to feed your family it's your labor AND your capital....outside of that the system believes
in the feudal system because no one wants to create their own 'capital' anymore....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Exact figures were never divulged, but most historians say much less
than 1/2 supported the South in the Civil war.  With 47% of the population as slaves,
the number of supporters is likely around 20 - 30%.

Citibank paid back $20B
USG took $25B in ownership
USG sold off $25B ownership
Quoted Text
.... the government will have realized $57 billion on its bailout package for the big bank.

Of the $45 billion provided to Citigroup, $25 billion was converted to a government ownership stake that the Treasury has been selling off since last spring. The bank repaid the other $20 billion in December 2009.

Treasury said that with the pricing of the last 2.4 billion shares of common stock on Monday, it would receive $31.8 billion from the sale of common stock plus another $2.9 billion in interest and dividends.

The $57 billion total also includes $20 billion from Citigroup's December 2009 repayment of TARP money and another $2.2 billion from the sale of trust preferred securities held by the government.

You've already posed those questions.  You've never answered why boarder states that stayed with the Union were allowed to own slaves during and after the emancipation proclamation.  It was fought over slavery right?

It's irrelevant because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Ok, so they only gave $25 billion away.  Did you get any of the $25 billion?
