To most Americans, and espcially, I'd suppose, to those on this list, all 
this blather about the big banks needing bailed out because otherwise the 
bottom 
rung worker will be harmed seems an odd concept .... except maybe to Bob.

But to understand this, you have to keep in mind that the wealthy, mainly 
wealthy conservatives and Repbublicans but also most wealthy Democrats, 
believe 
Reagan's 'Tinkle Down Economics' as if it were gospel, as if it were one of 
the 
fundamental cosmic laws of the universe. 

Put on the spot they (the plutarchs) would freely admit that the money is 
ONLY going to help the very wealthy bankers and their interest.  BUT, say 
they, 
the common worker's very life and breath depends on the wealthy 'creating' 
jobs.  If the wealthy don't stay wealthy, the poor, for lack of jobs, would 
perish 
in the streets.

The homesteading life and many other life styles like non-debt entrepreneur, 
the craftsman, the artisan, etc. do NOT depend on the wealthy's tide that 
floats all ships.   </HTML>
