well - it isn't like the bankers don't deserve it although I thought most of the money has already been re-paid with interest.

Sorry to ruin your day but that must be another BajaGringo. I don't even have an account there to log on and comment. As far as "American-hating
Americans", you seem to be holding that title down all on your own based on the endless flaming posts and accusations you seem to hurl at
anyone/everyone who fails to share your point of view here on the forum.
But have a nice day regardless...

nice, subdued classy response- we need more of that here.

Most of the money has not been paid back, most of the money went to bail out AIG, which means that it went to banks around the world through the back
door with Goldman receiving the bulk of it. The banks have mostly paid back the payments they have received directly, probably with money borrowed
from the Fed at 0 interest.

old boy's reaction to his first Hustler! straight up!!!
but they sit there holding on to those properties so they won't have to take a hit on their bottom line!!!!
F)CK THE BANKS AND BANKERS!!!!!

Jeeze, I'm not sure the planet is ready for two BajaGringos, both with the same attitude towards the US.

SO ? Loco ?
Since the thread was regarding Mexican Corruption,What is the likelihood that reforming the Banking system would inspire the Mexican Police to go
straight and reject corrupt activity ?
On a scale of Zero to Ten ? - 0.1 ? OR, not that good ?
Next time I get stopped by the policia, should I point out that the REAL problem enticing them to solicit Mordida is the fault of American and
International Bankers ?
Urge the officer to forsake his wayward corrupt life and become an example of righteousness for his fellow officers ? By doing so, he'll show that
he's not a pawn of an International Conspiracy ?

Arrowhead, you've used the term "American-hating Americans" fairly frequently....could you share your definition of what type of character trait,
specific type of comment, action, or whatever else prompts you to classify someone as "American-hating Americans"?

No. You're just looking for a fight. Besides you already know the answer. But, now you can run over to Bajagabacho's board and do three pages of posts
on me. That will keep you entertained for a few hours.

You're mistaken....that was a sincere question.....prompted by my
curiosity.
Don't flatter yourself....I've never done 3 pages (2 pages, or 1 page!) of posts dedicated to you anywhere ever, nor am I likely to.

Perhaps, in the panoply of financial companies, AIG stands alone. A prior post did mention that many, if not most of the companies that received TARP
funds, have paid them back. The most compelling reason for them to do so was to get the feds off their back, so they could resume their unsavory
practices without oversight. That said, as much as 101% of Americans probably despise AIG, their bailout was probably the single most important aspect
of the program. They were either allowed to, by lack of regulation or oversight, infiltrate their tentacles throughout the world's financial system.
The fact is that AIG was probably the singular entity that could not be allowed to fail. Presently, the number one issue, and that which may
ultimately define the Obama presidency, is whether sufficient controls and safeguards will be enacted to ensure that in the future, no single
corporation or entity of any type should be allowed to control or influence the world's economy.

Since we have had so much recent experience with cops demanding mordida in the pueblos outside of la Paz we have much experience to draw upon, mordida
is prompted based on fear, fear of unfair persecution, of being detained unfairly and hassled unreasonably. If people would learn that if you don't
pay the corruptos they will always give up very quickly realizing their efforts and gas money are wasted.
It seems corruption around the world is based on fear in the USA as well, with a false war on drugs or false war on terror both of which are
manufactured by those who profit. The difference between the US and Mexico is that in the USA does put innocent people in prison in large numbers, in
order to profit from a corrupt prison industry and slave labor population both of which hurt the rest of us greatly. More people are in US prisons
than in both China and Russia combined and most of them are in for non-violent crimes such as drug possession.
Daily it seems, we are told that the USA will hold people in detention without charges or evidence for ever with out trials which goes against
everything we stand for as a country, this is not to protect us in fact that why we are being targeted. It is to promote fear and to destroy the
fabric of our country and legal system-which has been effectively achieved by the current administration. This should make you angry, at those who are
breaking the law, not mad at innocents who are being tortured and targeted, it could be you and in fact it is you.
On the other hand in Mexico, drugs have been decriminalized and the prison system is quite small in comparison, while you do hear of stories of unfair
incarceration the numbers are far less in comparison to the USA, likely so because they do not have space and there is no profit.
Arrowhead like to repeat news stories, so what? These stories are memes, propaganda produced for a purpose, a profit, they do not represent truths
that people experience. The truth about corruption is quite obvious to those who are not repeating fear based stories, for example the people of La
Paz rallied, many of the women against corruption of the procurador justica general for failig to prosecute the murder of a young man, the procurador
resigned and certainly the Gob BCS has lost immense credibility and are also on the run literally from these angry women. The videos are psoted all
over the internet-you can search and see exactly how corruption is run out of town.
Unfortunately the result was that the corruptos ran to the pueblos to hassle those less angry and less organized, many of them gringos who are
uninformed and living in fear.
If only people would educate themselves, ignore press stories and rely on your intuition, your personal experience, if you explain to the corruptos
whoever they may be, US or Mexican and get angry and get organized corruption will also back down and run.
It's really time to learn the laws, learn your rights, speak up for yourself wherever you are and say no to corruption and say no to fear based
propaganda and it's agents of provocation like arrowhead who are predictable shills having little to do with reality or real world experience.
Take a moment to do some research into the USA prison system, the number of overturned prosecutions, the number of overturned death penalty
prosecutions, the number of cases of planted evidence, beatings, forced confessions and the number of cases of people killed while in custody without
charges not to mention the vast history of cops who run their fiefdoms of bribes and corrruption around crime rings. This news of corruption certainly
can not be news to anyone here but when will you become angry enough to run them out of town like the powerful women of La Paz?

Well, since the original post questioned whether the corruption in the US
is more or less than Mexico, I was making the point that monetarily it's probably more in the US because it's on a higher level and more organized,
whereas in Mexico it's on more of a personal level. I think that the corruption in Mexico probably has more of a net beneficial effect on their
economy because at least when a cop takes a bribe he is likely to spend the money in his community, when a hedge fund manager or the CEO of Goldman
makes a 100 million it likely goes into a Swiss bank.

I find this works quite well, if you look them in the eye and begin to lecture them on the negative effects on the community and what a bad example
they are they will turn and walk. When I am with Mexicans they start in the corruptos hard before they can even get a word out. They turn and walk.

Gnukid,
Thanks for writing. I enjoy your posts. You mentioned the number of people in US jails, and it reminded me of a recent San Diego news story. A change
in bail setting rules is going to make it easier for some to make bail and therefore reduce the number of people in jail.
Here's what the county sheriff said about that when questioned by a reporter during a discussion about throwing more people in jail for minor
offenses, now that there is room:
Reporter: "So you're saying, 'Let's charge for some more crimes?" Blacher asked
Sheriff: "Oh, absolutely. I don't want to have empty beds in my jail," Gore said.
(I know this is off topic but I thought the statement was so bizarre.)

Learn something gnu everyday !
"It seems corruption around the world is based on fear........"
There's a Profound Revelation. Original, too. It's quite possible nobody has ever realized that until now.
BUT, even better:
"..........if you explain to the corruptos whoever they may be, US or Mexican and get angry and get organized corruption will also back down
and run."
I'll be waiting to see how that works out.
Say hello to Dorothy when you get back to OZ.
