Read the second paragraph of my last post.
Why not regulate the banks so they don't f**k up in the first place. If all of our economy depends on the financial sector, idiot CEO's shouldn't be allowed to turn commercial banks into gambling casinos for their personal profit. They weren't allowed to do this until congress under Republican control decided to deregulate banks in the late 1990s and Clinton caved under their demands.
In any case, it's double standard to extend relief to failing banks after they act irresponsibly and then say "tough luck" to the homeowners who may or may not have acted irresponsibly. This is what the OWS protesters are rightfully pissed about.
Oh, but if we regulate the banks, and show any sympathy toward ordinary homeowners, that would be SOCIALISM!! !! !! !! And God knows we can't mistreat our financial betters!

I live in Australia…
*My student loans from our government are not subject to interest, they do not increase each year and we can pay these off in manageable amounts
*Our minimum wage is the equivalent of $14 USD and our working week is limited to 38 hours by LAW
*Welfare is available to whoever needs it, we do not have to wait years to qualify
*Every citizen automatically receives health cover for life-threatening illnesses and severe and chronic pain.
- Our government and country is not in recession
- Our corporations still make an insane profit
-We are looked after
IT IS POSSIBLE

I'd love to move to Australia for everything that's showcased here - it's just that I live in absolute terror of being eaten alive by salt water crocodiles. Plus, some people say that there might even be plesiasauruses lurking off the coasts.
In actuality, I want to stay here and fight for the same thing in America.

They're just something to look at while the snakes spiders sneak up on you. Remember to put the Vegemite behind your ears so the drop bears don't get you.

I see it as irrelevent actually........winning and losing is for playing insignificant games for entertainment. I don't think once financial status makes them a winner or loser. I care more about what type of person someone is so I guess if I have to use the terms winners and losers I would see people who care about others and want to make things better as 'winners' and people who want to get to the top no matter who they step on for personal gain as 'losers.'
So, let me get this straight, someone who manufactures a product that makes millions of lives more comfortable (or in some cases even livable at all) is a loser because the sell that product for a profit. But someone who hands out a few cans of perishable food at the homeless shelter is a winner.Actually, it's more like this...

Nobody is making the doctors out to be the bad guys, as it's the drug companies who have made it their life's ambition to defeat any sort of healthcare reform all for the sake of greed. The Wall Street executive had in fact nearly wrecked the economy, and are getting home owners foreclosed on, again, all for the sake of greed. Sounds pretty bad to me.
