Well I think that people who helped create this mess and enabled people to live beyond their means should foot the bill. But perish forbid we tax the bankers!!!!!!
I don't disagree with you at all on this. The people responsible for creating the mess certainly should be held accountable. But did someone hold a gun to 'Joe-Live-Beyond-My-Means-Taxpayer' and force him to live beyond his means? People are responsible for their own actions.
So lets line them up and shoot them.
What exactly do you propose we do with these people? They made a mistake. I really don't see why when faced between a choice of making them suffer, making the economy suffer, and making the neighborhood suffer for their mistake v. making them not suffer, helping the economy, and helping the neighborhood, we should choose the former.
I'm not interested in punishing people who made financial mistakes. I'm interested in helping the economy recover from this clusterfuck.
