Wall Street Fat Cats need our money now!
Usually I respond to e-mail solicitations asking for my participation in monetary deals by hitting the delete key. This one seems different somehow? Do you think that they are on the up and up with this? Do you think that your average American taxpayer will benefit by agreeing to these demands??
Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson
When the history books are written about this period I wonder what they will say?? If this bailout happens the way they are insisting that it must happen every single person in America will be on the hook for an average of 2300 dollars.
What do we gain by it? Is this going to help the average American taxpayer or is it just a cynical looting to benefit those who created this financial disaster in the first place? According to Forbes Magazine the Treasury Department admits the $700 billion bailout figure is “not based on any particular data point. We just wanted to choose a really large number.”
