So, tax money and socialism for the superrich in order to save 'everyone'. A little risk transfer. Dig in your pockets folks, we have to save "everyone", too big to fail, ya know.

Abandon the risk model of capitalism, take the money from 'everyone' to save the economy by saving the rich who created and owned the risky paper, and save 'everyone'.

So now 'everyone' is stuck with the rich folk's risky bills, but 'everyone' was saved.

Especially the bankers who took the risks on 'everyone's' behalf. They took the money, we took the risk. Now they keep taking the money - and we get endless recession.

I see what you did there.

Hence, #occupy.
