youtube.com — While Bank of America's CEO, Ken Lewis, is calling for business as usual, taxpayers are calling for change. It's time for Bank of America to stop the policies and practices that helped crash our economy and hurts its customers with unfair fees and hidden costs.

I like how everyone is up in arms about CEO's getting huge bonuses and wasting taxpayer money, but for some reason no one is up in arms about Congress and the current administration passing the bill to give them the money.Hilarious

Can't we just solve these problems the old fashion way by taking out guns and shooting each other?

Tea Parties != Bailout protest."On April 15th, hundreds of thousands of citizens gathered in more than 800 cities to voice their opposition to out of control spending at all levels of government. Organized in all 50 states by Americans from all walks of life, these "tea parties" were a true grassroots protest of irresponsible fiscal policies and intrusive government. TaxDayTeaParty.com was the home of these protests, and will continue to be an online gathering place for a new generation of grassroots activists who are committed to effecting positive change in their communities."CEO's are being used as scapegoats. The REAL issue is and always has been the Obama administration and Congress pushing the bill through instead of letting the companies fail like they should have. We are whining about how "our" money is being used when we sat by and let it happen. We are whining because CEO's are just getting richer off taxpayers, yet how is that their fault? Honestly...? If you give a junkie cocaine, he will snort it. "Here have 50 billion dollars... but don't go spending it on yourselves now you silly Executives." Give me a break.Another point I want to make. At what point is "our money" still "ours." Where is the line drawn? Do you people not see the government is out of control? Do you REALLY want them to have the power to tell you how much money you can make? At what point does it trickle down to the common man? It's a slippery slope and it's only going to get worse.

CEO Ken Lewis behaves the way he does because our legislators are in his pocket. We have no healthcare because our legislators are in the pockets of the insurance companies and Big Pharma. We are at war all the time because our legislators are in the pockets of the MMWI (Military-Media-Wall St-Industrial complex). We have no jobs because Wall Street makes more money investing in China and India. Campaign Finance Reform is the number one thing we need to do to before changing everything so that our government reflects a democracy instead of an oligarchy.
