So to get even, somebody has to get shafted?

I hadn't realized my opinion against bailing out Wall Street was shared by mostly conservative Republicans. Wow.

I have seen both sides of the fence now, and if there is no bailout for Wall Street, the effects could be devastating to those depending on credit--namely small business owners who would get totally shafted. Small businesses depend on lines of credit to operate and pay employees...without credit they would fold. So, to stick it to the assholes on Wall Street is to stick it unwittingly to Mom and Dad's carpet business! How shitty is that?

As much as I hate corporate welfare, and the sickening thought of supporting a failed financial infrastructure that has profited from the suffering of others for many years, I guess my support of small businesses is far stronger than my love of watching billionaires losing all their money. Perhaps we will learn the lesson finally that greed just fucks up the whole world at the end of the way. Trickle down economics is really trickle down diarrhea, and most of us are in dire need of some big fucking umbrellas.
