Death to Money Vampires

[statusquobuster]

Despite attention to the current economic meltdown, including the confidence-building words of President Obama, I keep getting this nagging feeling as I move about in the real world and on the web that many Americans are in a state of denial. I still see the same numbers of peaceful people at the health club where I work out daily, at the concert hall where I go regularly to see world-class artists, at several supermarkets where I shop and at a local mall where I get my discount prescriptions at Target. Bruce Springsteen and other stars are still selling out their concerts, despite outrageously priced tickets.

After having read your article, I find pretty cool that most of Americans don't have your reaction!

You blame their hope! You blame their calm! You blame their confidence in Obama!

Hell! If they are like it, luckily! The economy currently needs confidence, calm and hope and you blame them for so!

What do you want? Seeing desperate people everywhere in streets? Doing what?? Going with some guns at Congress and White House??

You just had big elections there and you you had the luck in this country to have chosen a great leader, at least a serious honest one in its intentions, I don't know if he will solve the things, if he will always takes the good decisions, but sounds he really wants to improve things. So don't blame people to trust such a guy.

Plus, let him breath. He has just began, and he has already taken measures that even in continental Europe we haven't taken (limit salary of bosses for example), and you forget the big thing, targeting Switzerland for the 50.000 guys you spoke about, no one dared before. The action would be very interesting only if all money paradises are shut in the world, but this is a world problem, you can't blame Obama for it.

Then, you want to hound big bosses? You think that just punishing them will be enough?? I hope the justice institutions will punish everywhere they have to and everywhere they can but that's not only by punishing a few men, even hardly, that you'll solve the thing.  Hell, we're talking about the problem of a system, a technical and maybe a moral problem.

Well, you should come in France, you would be more satisfied, you would find a lot of people like the ones you're surprised not to find in US. A second general strike day with all unions is planed on the 19th of March here. You would hear in it a lot of slogans you would love... Welcome?

The French do understand the social heirarchy and their place in it - Americans are completely duped by comparison.

Euh, and if you develop your thought?

Oh pardon, I don't know why, I thought you had wrote:

Euh, I wouldn't say like you for the explanation. I think that French have never been happy in that capitalistic financial system (they complained about failings but they wanted the advantages of it, that's always what I've been fed up with concerning my compatriots) and now they see a big occasion to claim it loudly. Plus everyone has the feeling that Sarkozy try to make the active guy more than he really acts, and even if I think he tries to do the best, I can't reproach that to them, because it's a trend by him. Plus, unlike Obama, it seems he acts to earn some fame, not some results.
