Greed

Well if you want to see greed in action, it is out on the street for everyone to witness. AIG has come to embody the greed in its most naked form, pure and unadulterated. They symbolize all that is wrong with the bailouts as they continue to lavish bonuses and perks upon themselves after taking taxpayer dollars.

The conspiracy theorists must be having a field day. Hank Paulson effectively took our tax dollars and funneled them to his buddies on Wall Street with little or no oversight. They made us look like fools; we handed them trillions to help them remain solvent but instead they kept their same behavior and rewarded themselves, so locked in their greed, that they have exercised no conscience.

Can we trust anyone to do the right thing with our money? Now What?
