Are You Disgusted Yet?

I am totally disgusted and furious about the news of the CEO of Merrill Lynch spending over a million dollars to redecorate his office when his company was in trouble. He gave billions of dollars in bonuses to employees of Merrill Lynch at a time when Bank of America was in the process of taking them over.

Then Bank of America asks for more money because Merrill Lynch was in more trouble than they thought. I am furious that the taxpayer's money is going to line the pockets of people who are already wealthy and have acted in a greedy way and misused their power. I am sure that this is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't believe that Merrill Lynch is the only company that has misused the taxpayer's money. We should be rising up in anger and putting a stop to this type of abuse.

Then there is the issue of the illegal wiretapping that occured during the Bush administration. One of the NASA analysts has now come out and told how deep the wiretapping has gone. He did not come out into the open while Bush was still in office as he was afraid of retaliation. As it is he was fired from his job when he began asking questions and it became obvious that he knew too much. I believe that there will be an investigation into this at least by investigative reporters.

This is another issue that we should all be rising up in anger about and writing to our Senators and Representatives and calling on them to look into this matter. Our rights have been compromised and we should be angry and concerned.
