Start calling the Banksters Terrorist
Max Keiser called them that this past week, and Thom Hartman has picked up on this language. The language is accurate.

If Osama Bin Laden came to the United States Government and said give me $700 billion dollars without any preconditions or I will blow up your country we'd go to war (as evidenced by 911). These domestic terrorist held a gun to our congresses head and threatened to bankrupt the US economy unless we saved them. They effectively walked into the US Capital with a suicide bomber's vest and threatened to blow themselves up.

The terrorist are not done. Every 7 minutes a family is receiving a foreclosure notice. Many of us have been laid off and are facing a tough employment market because of the terrorist.

What have the terrorist done with the gains their threats have gotten them, they have taken huge bonuses and used the money to pour into lobbying that would prevent us from receiving decent health care and stop them from terrorizing the nation again.

They are not banksters, they are not greedy fucks, they are terrorist that threaten every American's way of life.

So when you hear about a politician taking their lobbyist money, they aren't taking money from criminals they are being bribed by terrorist.

3. The other side doesn't seem that concerned with language they use
Seeing that the other side is financially supported by the terrorist and uses that type of language against people seeking reform....no, I'm not that concerned about their well being.

8. Hedge Fund Hyenas...
Venture Capital like the Carlyle Corporation. They buy up profitable factories and businesses in the United States: bust the unions, fire the workers and strip out and sell any usable equipment.

They then sell whats left of the emaciated business to Mexico or China, while storing their mega profits in secret bank accounts in the Cayman Islands. (All without paying once red cent in taxes)

They are vampires. We need regulation and banking laws to stop these economic terrorists. Geithner,Summers and Bernake are not the men to do the job.

11. Financial Terrorist allowed to survive
The bankorist are only allowed to bankrupt the entire country with the assistance of our Congress and the watch dogs that allow it to happen.

How in hell did "toxic assets" bankrupt this country with (supposedly)no one seeing it coming? What was the main cause for the banking and S/L bailout in the 1990's? Over valued real estate mortgages (toxic assets). So how in hell were these bankers allowed to take this scheme to this level? How?

How did real estate values triple in the last 20 years when American income has been stagnant during this same period? What drove the market, besides fraud? How can the very same problem that caused all the banks to fail 20 years ago be the very same problem that bankrupted the entire country?

How do these people say no one could of seen this coming when it was obviously enviable? There is NO WAY in hell real estate prices can keep going up and up if Americans aren't earning more to sustain the growth.
