The common population doesn’t have anything to do with calling people common, the common population is the public at large that have all things in common.  The masses of the public at large will become aware of their power as the American Common Populace, which denotes no insignificance whatsoever, only a class and culture that needs to be realized, because as individuals there is no way to have equality with the two other classes and cultures, the Corporate Middle Class and Culture that will never shrink more than 20% of the population and the Corporate Elite Capitalist Class and Culture that is only 10% of the entire population.

Here are some definitions of common usage:

The common population of Egypt and Wisconsin USA are outraged at the government’s attempting to remove the workers common benefit.

common council: the lawmaking group of a city, town, etc.

commoner:  one of the public; a person who is not a nobleman. 

common land:  land that is used and enjoyed by the public and is not restricted to private ownership.

MarthaA,

Who are you calling common?

Truly all the corrupt bankers should be behind bars, but there are different laws for fraud for the Common Population, as the Common Population could never get away with fraud, but there are no laws against high class bankers taking millions without even a slap on the wrist, because cheating the population out of money is the popular way to play the game in upper banking circles, as the following video documents: http://www.realecontv.com/videos/banking-malfeasance/straight-from-the-horses-mouth-.html

If we charged them 40% interest and got a couple “co-signers” I might be O.K. with corporate bailouts. That’s what they would do to us, why don’t we do it to them when it is our money?

By all means, don’t let the conservative culprits fritter off to an ascending economy after sapping the U.S. Economy dry leaving the common populace of the U.S. holding the bag for centuries.  The Big Banks and the War Mongering Corporate Military Industrial Complex have squandered most of the $14 Trillion deficit, as the common population receive only a small drop in the economic bucket, and are begrudged even that.

I second that, PatrickHenry. Seize the assets !  Send in the bean counters !  But,
how are you going to regain those funds from all the CEOs/Bankers from funds
which are now commingled and in nice secure trust funds for the recipients’ future
generations? 

Matt Taibbi has a wonderful article in the new RollingStone that should be
published every where allowable.  It is excellent investigative journalism.  Its title
is “Why Isn’t Wall Street in Jail”.  http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-isnt-
wall-street-in-jail-20110216

Under pressure?  I advocate siezing assets.

Boo Hoo, no bonuses for you.

Send in the bean counters.
