I believe this is one of the most sane answers I've heard yet.

After all, if the government is of the people, by the people and for

the people, it would be the most fair option. Spread the wealth. As

it is now, with a federal bailout of the financial mess, there are

only a FEW people who are going to get rich off this mess, while we

will be lulled into believing it is going to save us all. NOT.

I agree, it is sane and sometimes I wonder if any of our government

is. But, I will stay out of the political arena. I just thought it

was pretty good humor since it will never, ever, ever happen that the

people would get the $$..
