Reasons for Not Bailing Out Wall Street

1. Reduce illegal immigration. Who'd want to come 1000 miles to struggle when they can do it at home.

2. Reduce the level of decadence. Who'll pay $40,000 for box seats at hockey games, who'll pay $200 a month for phone sex, who'll buy designer jeans for $300, who'll be able to afford a BMW for their high school kid?

3. Reduce the terrorist threat. When the evil empire becomes the feeble empire, it takes the fun out of the rhetoric. Also see decadence.

4. Reduce our dependence on foreign oil. We will actually have to change our consumption patterns. Besides, we won't be going anywhere far from home.

5. Reduce the risk of war over far away places and over false causes. It is hard to send an army into battle When there is no money to buy bullets.

6. Shrink government at all levels. When there is no tax to be collected, they'll have to do what they now do not want to do.

7. Strengthen labor unions and re-create the neccessary tension between labor and management

8. Resurrect political parties with clear, opposing philosophies to replace the two parties which are complicitly seeking the same re-election contributions

9. Prove capitalism to be as false a god as communism. Time we recognize that balance and moderation is good for personal and national health.

10. Create another generation of Americans who are self sufficient, value hard work and save(like the Depression kids)
