You, me, every workaday taxpayer in the US are being forced to pay into an insurance program for greedy CEOs who take insane risks with other people's $, pocket any gains & make us cover their losses.
TARP & every corporate bailout is a financialized version of the medieval corvée & we're the serfs.
