Like how we've been told how bad of a crisis this is and that we need to pass the bailout right now?
Yeah. Exactly. They need us to bail them out, with our money mind you. And then through media persuasion they get you to work harder with threates of unemployment.
Don't know if you've ever seen this,

Well, Wal*Mart does have the cheapest shit in town...
True. I don't blame the consumer though, we need to spend our money wisely. I blame unregulated and uncontroled free markets that allow for the giants to monopolize.

We don't have to let them control our lives!
You're right, we don't.
