“The expectation in Washington is that ‘We can kick you around, and you are still going to give us money,’ ” said a top official at a major Wall Street firm, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of alienating the White House. “We are not going to play that game anymore.”
What a bunch of @#$%& Mother*******!!!! What freaking "game?" You mean like the game where we all lent you money because you ran yourself out of business and almost destroyed our country?!! Or the game where you took that money and gave yourselves bonuses with it?!!! And "kick us around?!!" They are the ones that kicked ALL OF US around!! Now they come back with this "poor me" crap??!!!!!
It's beyond sense. I say, take back all our money and close their businesses. Depression be damned.:-5
(If this were the real world, we'd all get to take them out behind a dumpster and kick their a$$es.)

I will say though that the unfettered capitalism and the money in politics have essentially ruined this country IMO. It's a real me first and it's all mine mentality, with everyone.

That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.[57][58][59]
