Do you not find it obscene? It's a pretty simple question. I shouldn't have to explain it. I probaly will have to explain it though. Given the settings in which I ask the question.

Well, the whole mess is rather obscene. I wouldn't label it the poor bailing out the rich. Rather I would label it some of the rich ****ing up and the US Gov dragging everyone else (rich, poor, themselves) down with them.
The bailout started last year, with the Fed throwing the dollar under the bus to try to prop up the stock market which was being dragged down by the financial mess. That didn't work, and it essentially transferred trillions from $'s to the stock market. THis $700bn bailout is piddling by comparison, and just a drop in the bucket considering the $50+ trillion CDS cluster****.

This is more like the rich bailing out the rich.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

EPW, stick the invalid poll up your ass. And take California and fall into the ocean, for all I care.
Damn troll.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The lower half will pay very little indeed toward this bailout.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

They have less to tax and devalue, sure. But they pay, and pay more dearly (losing houses, being laid off, and having what little they do have devalued) than the rich. You can't pretend that only the rich pay, no matter how little you actually care about the rest.
