Can someone please explain to me why it is illegal to rob a bank, but it is perfectly legal for a bank to rob us?
I want to be too big to fail!
Sometimes I think poor people commit crimes just to go to prison, for free room and board, free medical care, and even an education.
Big banks crashed my life right around the time I got sick.
I received a letter the other day, informing me that because my husband made a whopping $7,000 between July and September, I may lose my Medicaid for being over income. What! Then they gave me a whole three days to respond, which covered the weekend and a federal holiday, so that makes it one day.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, for Christ's sake! My medication costs $6,000 a month. How the hell am I going to pay for that, let alone my doctor's visits and tests. MRI's AIN'T CHEAP YA KNOW.
How can any one live on $7,000 in three months with a mortgage, insurance and a child to pay for; and medical treatment for a serious disease to boot?
They tell me to send them check stubs, so I do. Then they tap into the wage and hour deal, and tell me that they think we made too much. Why did I have to send in pay stubs if they aren't going to go by them?
I am not attempting to whine. Don't get me wrong. I am just a wheel demanding grease, or to at least understand why I'm not getting any, even though I squeak.
What the Hell is the deal here? Social Security denied my claim. They think I can still work. According to them I am not disabled enough. Well, let me be the first to spill hot coffee on them. All I know how to do requires balance. I have none. I lose consciousness for no apparent reason and without warning. I once found myself 20 feet from where I was standing, after God only knows how long, staring at the ceiling of my kitchen. I was on the floor.
Would you like me to wait on you, even at a gas station?
I am visually impaired and no longer feel safe driving a car, so I don't. I don't want to hurt someone.
So why is it the government that is for the people... allowing banks to rob us when we go to prison if we rob them? The government is robbing me of my fundamental right to health, because I can't pay for it on my own. So, I guess I want to know why the laws in this country only seem to apply to some, not all.
Corporations/banks get welfare and they are the richest fuckers on this planet. I need help and my government has forsaken me, the peon tax payer. Wall Street bankers should all be in prison for robbing the American people. Better yet, why waste the money; just shoot 'em.
I can deal with my illlness better than I can deal with the way the banks and other corporate entities have ruined all we have worked for. (my husband and I)
I've lost income through the housing crash, I've lost the home, where I raised my children, I've lost my health through all of this bullshit, and the list goes on... When will those bastards lose something? They got a fucking bonus for crashing the economy!
We bailed their asses out and they grew their bank accounts.
Tax the shit out of them and then shoot 'em.
Yes, I am having a bad day.
Is that justice?
