Big Bird & Grover did all that? Or was it the celebrity guests? Either way, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

We need to focus on their source of crony capitalist bailouts. Banks and Corporations have dominated our Government. We can fight thousands of Banks & Corporations or we can fight ONE corrupt Government.
You this backwards. It may be EASIER for a simpleton to focus all their rage on one opponent than many. However it's clear that the banks and corporations are the source of the corruption. The SEC wasn't the one agitating for gutting capital reserve requirements, that was the role of banks throughout decades. Eventually Hank Paulson and his buddies found a "quiet time" when they could sneak it through, past sleeping cops. However, the cop on the beat who is snoozing (bribed or not) while the vault is robbed, is clearly not the instigator of the robbery.

However, the cops and tax-collector knocking on people's doors forcing everyone else to replenish the bank vault after the alleged robbery certainly are the real robbers . . . especially if the alleged bank robbery is entirely cooked up make-belief, just some banks charting the loot from one vault to another . . . in many cases there were no money in the original vaults to begin with! AIG was "robbed" for more than the firm ever had in the vault, and taxpayers are somehow forced to make the imaginary vault whole thereby paying the robbers.
It would have been quite pointless to stage the "robbery" if not for the government's coercive power to rob everyone else to pay the alleged "robbers."

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. *

We are stomping our feet and lowering our eyebrows at the entities taking the handouts and benefits. Those entities see us as Muppets. We need to focus on their source of crony capitalist bailouts. Banks and Corporations have dominated our Government. We can fight thousands of Banks & Corporations or we can fight ONE corrupt Government.
