Marx's Proposal Number Five seems to be the leading motivation for those backing the Wall Street bailout
Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, Karl Marx proposed 10 measures to be implemented after the proletariat takes power, with the aim of centralizing all instruments of production in the hands of the state. Proposal Number Five was to bring about the "centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly."

This bailout is not for Main Street. It is for the greedy investors and weak minded investors that got taken by the con men in the financial markets. Those financial market swindlers should be treated like drug dealers. We should seize their homes, cars, bank accounts, stock portfolios, boats, airplanes, and jewelry: then figure out what they will be charged with. Put them and their families out on the street with a shovel and a nice sign saying, "will Work For Food", and see then if they still feel like "Masters of the World".
If you really want to help the economy, give the billions to the social security recipients. They will put it to good use and stimulate the economy. Another plan is to giv it to the "FED" and let them loosen up credit to small local banks. That will improve the liquidity problem without helping the "Fat Cats"! You folks just seem to want to help the very very rich to get richer.
