Step right up!
Concept: you're given a megaphone and are standing in front of a crowd. Everyone has an opinion about the US economy and whether the government or leaders are doing the right thing - what say you? You have 30 seconds to make your point before you hand it over to the next person. No essays here - make your point, and see what the crowd thinks.
Suggestion: Read your message over and try to avoid making too many spelling mistakes. Don't include URL / weblinks or your post will be discarded.Let's be real, do you really think that by giving tax payer money to banks and home loan institution's,that they are going to bring us out of this mess.If I recall, aren't they the one's who created this fiasco. I say put the money back in the hands of the tax payer who makes under 250,000 a year, and see how that works.I'm not talking about some slap in the face 600 dollars. Send everyone who made 250,000 dollars or less a check for half of what their gross income was when they filed taxes. If they still had a job. People will spend that money and help create supply and demand again. The 600 dollars some people received, probably went into their gas tank,which went right back to the hurting oil industry.

What is this all about?
Our nation's independence movement was inspired by the Patrick Henry assertion that "taxation without representation constituted tyranny". We had no vote or say in King George's England on tax policy, trade policy, or tariffs.
Today, we face a different threat - one in our nations capital and leadership. Many believe that recent economic events have forced US citizens into accepting government oversight and control which we never agreed to.
Which begs the question: What Would Our Founding Fathers Do?
