Well, you know my solution. The 'rules' are stacked against the working 
class, so I don't play by them. I withdrew  from the system; my money is 
invested in my land and in tools; I rarely buy anything new, buy locally 
when I can to support my neighbors.

The bankers and CEOs got rich because people gave them money to invest. 
Those investments may have been lost, but the high salaries and bonuses are 
still coming. I'm happy to say that it isn't my money that bought their 
private planes or boats. It comes down to choices...support what you like, 
don't support what you don't like. I don't like the way Walmart forces out 
local businesses then raises prices, so I don't do business with Walmart, 
either. If you give your money to the Wall Street mavens, you can hardly 
complain that they are filthy rich and you aren't....converting your money 
into their money is what they do best.

By the way, the 'economic crisis' hasn't affected my life yet. Not even a 
little. I'm still waiting. My income and expenses are the same as a year 
ago, or four years ago, and aren't likely to change much in the next year or 
two.
