We can survive without the bailout, it's Wall Street that's scared

[Wetzelbill]

The American people can withstand anything. We're the ones who can tough it out. So what if things get worse, you think we can't handle it? Things have been bad for awhile now. Nobody seems to care all that much when we're hurting.

If they can't pass this thing with a real upside for the American people, then hell with them. We shouldn't have to get hosed because Wall Street can't take a hit that they brought on themselves.

The American people are the ones who sacrifice. We're the ones who do the hard work, we're the ones who fight their wars, and we're the ones they come to when they screw everything up.

So what are they going to take away? My money? I don't have much to begin with. My rights? They've been trampling over the Constitution for 7 years. They have nothing they can take away from us that they haven't been trying to take away for years. Lots of us have been sickened watching a radical economic ideology poison our lives. We've seen the middle-class get destroyed, we've watched our deficit go through the roof, and we just kept living our lives the best that we could. Now after everything they've tried to sell to us has proven to be an absolute fraud, they want us to pay for it?

No thank you.

It's time to look out for the American people and not just a privileged few.
