Editor, the Advocate:

I think that we, the taxpayers, shouldn't have to bail out the stock market. The stock marketers spent millions on themselves to go on vacation when they could have used that money to bail themselves out.

Why should we have to pay for their mistakes? They're going to raise taxes that the government says we're going to get back. Yet the government hasn't explained to us how it's going to give our money back to us. It isn't right that taxpayers have to pay for something that they haven't done.
