I am the owner of a small business who managed to survive the economic maelstrom
that came on the heels of Lehman Bros.collapse and the ensuing bloodletting on Wall St. Many of my employees however (approximately 15%) lost their homes to foreclosure. Others who were lucky enough to not have homes found that there expectations for better wages would be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile supporting a family became even more difficult.
I as a responsible and fiscally cautious person am disgusted at the idea that the
very perpetrators who brought about the credit collapse through their greedy
machinations of the market are now reaping huge salaries and bonuses like
2008 was an aberration. You have the power and the responsibility to reign
in these excesses and make the average American believe that the deck
is not fixed against him.
Thank you listening to my rant,
