The Law is Class War

In discussing the new bankruptcy laws in 2005, Prez Bush stated the following:

"America is a nation of personal responsibility where people are expected to meet their obligations."

It's fascinating to consider that statement as we consider the proposed Wall Street bailout plan and the many millionaires and billionaires with their hands out. Despite widespread voter opposition our legislators continue to claim that the proposal will pass in one form or another very shortly. How is this not legalized robbery? If every American is on the hook for a minimum of $2000, how is this not socialism for the highest economic class forced upon the lowest classes by distraint? They have the cages, the implements of steel, the guns, the jar-headed thugs to put you in your place and to force conformity with the prescriptions of the law.
