the politics of buisness

Sooo as everyone sits and watches the world's money managers have their decisions go full circle, its hard to see a way past it... or if you are me, laugh... laugh my ass off actually. There is a crisis with the people that are holding everyones money while a friend of mine says, "all this craziness doesn't affect, us the poor people because, shit... we are poor, its all those rich people who will be affected". So what do the so called savvy business people of the world have to say for themselves, when the governments that they rejected for free trade and capitalism are the ones bailing them out and buying up their mistakes. Mmmm, maybe the world should have figured out a way to make the dreaded communism work for them before they ran a muck. But its kind of funny to think that the currently in debt US government is spending billions on companies. Is the debt really there, or is there just more buying and selling of debt, transfer of debt, so that instead of fighting corporation there will be fighting the US government. It funny how the lines have become so clearly blurry, and oh so thick.. I mean its obvious that politics is an intangible working within the realm of business, but damn. Its hard to believe that the politics of national governance is going to be concerned about whether or not I have what I need as a young woman to make my quality of life better. So when CNN asks what does this mean to you, and then go on to start talking about 401(k)s and investments and what not... not to say that those with the funds to invest and those that have been planning on their retirement don't have a lot to be concerned about and angry about.. unfortunately they do not make the large majority.. so yea.. how does it affect you me.. and the future that we want..
like my love says... "we should just cash all our money and keep it under the mattress".
