Dear Mr. Bulls*** you have let people on wall street off with little tax on invested money, but the wage earners pay more than their share of the taxes, the housing market is so crooked and when those people have made their profit before things go bust, the people who are bailed out are not the home owners, but the crooks who have caused foreclosures, and then there is the mantra, wall street is doing well so the country is going great guns from your point of view.

And guess who gets the blame the illegal workers, that Washington D.C. have hired as their nannies, I think it is a shame that work is outsourced (usually to illegals) and then when caught it is the fault of the employeers, if this government would be more careful about handing social security numbers there would not be people stealing s.s. #.

Even our credit cards can be compromised and still the credit cards are allways out after customers to take their cards and get upset when someone is on to their game.

Well the American people have been on to the game of this administration for a long time.

I wonder if McCain will win the white house this turn around?
