    US taxpayers should take their Redpill and stop taking their Bluepill/Xanax/Valium...

    Since the taxpayers are bailing out multi-billion dollar companies I think it only fair that the people responsible for the financial crisis are brought in and stripped of the billions they have virtually stolen from those companies in payouts to themselves.
    They can plead incompetence or insanity but either way they are left with a modest $50,000 and the clothes they stand up in. The luxury yachts, mansions in the Hamptons etc. are auctioned off for the taxpayers.
    If I had my way they would also do a "walk of shame" starkers thru Manhatten and apologise for wasting the country's assets.
    It would certainly concentrate minds in future

    Throwing rotten eggs at them would be optional

  3. Humpy,

    hehe, well - the old-money elitists and the Neocon fanatical choir leading the march abroad were the ones behind all the fuzz - but old-money abroad also supported the upheaval for their benefiting; and ultimately contributed to this meltdown as the resulting erosion of trust and polarization is overcoming the US.

    Since your proposal is far fetched, I guess we oughta be asking just how long an average American has to work to pay in taxes enough to maintain a yacht, crewed of course, on Long Island Sound for say one month. That at least would get us further down the road to answering the eventual cost of this. What, no right wingers around who can answer that right off the bat? I'd have thought it and similar questions would be very current among the posh just now.

    Further proof that right-wing beliefs are, at the top at least (where they actually count), no more than a set of criminal impulses. Too bad we're given the practioners free rein.
