The start of all of this.

I didn't realize it would take so many steps to create a blog. "Enter your blog name:" "What is your blog name?" "Do you really want to use this blogger?" "Do you like the idea of bailing out banks before you start your blog?"

Generally, I've blogged before and I stopped soon after it became a media frenzy where every friend of yours become addicted to sitting behind the computer and writing about every single little details of their lives. I thought I'd blog in a different approach. This approach in which you'll rarely see, is a unusual blog/vent and/or ideas that would be posted. The rest of the blog would just simply be a story line that I want to get reader feedback on.

This story, is intended (based on how many approvals or interest) would probably be adapted into some kind of movie flick. Something where I would have to go to the local retail shop and buy a cheap camera and shout "action!" toward random strangers, just to see if they can create a scene and make a movie out of it.

Anyways, please allow me to put one simple vent/political point of view. It's about the bail out and the current economic state. Yes, we're hitting these financial road by having our government saving these corporations, mainly banks from their bad debts. Yet, the rest of the Americans are suffering.

So, in a simpler analogy, would you hire an accountant to do your taxes if he or she made several mistakes along the way? In the same retrospect, the government is giving the money to the banks that made their own bad judgement with buying and/or selling bad mortgages. How can you trust the very same "accountant" to be sure they don't make the same mistake twice? If I personally made a mistake by overdrawing money from my bank account, I pay these fees and I have to be responsible for these actions.

The whole idea of putting money into "main street" is done by bailing out banks? It will not trickle down to the consumers, I'm sorry but it just allows the rich get richer and stay rich while the poor has to beg for money from strangers and still don't get bailed out. If you really want the funds to help the general population of Americans, simply set up your local IRS office to distribute the funds for those who come in and claim their worth. For example, under this so called hypothetical plan, you'd go into the IRS office, declare your identity, show your taxes, prove you're struggling, and your worth is based on a sliding scale, if you struggle the most, the more money you get, but if you own a house, own a car, have 4 kids, have a stable job, then the funds would be less. Those money will trickle back into the bank in the idea of people deciding what they want to do with the money that they get, they can choose to save it, or buy stocks, or buy items from the store, it will still end up in one of those banks and they will still profit from the money you put in their bank.

I'm just a big advocate for the little guy. Now onto my story line.
