U.S. Citizens taking 40% of Citigroup? Possibly.

Given the current economic woes of Citigroup (stock plummeting to 18 yr low of $2.00/per) the citizens of the United States are contemplating taking a 40% ownership in common stock. This goes in line with the 80% we own in AIG. So now that the US Citizens are all over the stock market with investments in huge firms, how do we get our cut? I mean, once the stock goes up how do I get my dividend check? I'm a share holder right? The shares were bought with Treasury dollars taken from our collective pay checks. So that said, how do I get my dividend? My guess is the US government will step in and take it for me to redistributed in the way/fashion they see fit.

Man, I sure am glad they are sitting in the wings to help me with this. Lord knows, we'd be in a ton of trouble without their expertise in financial matters.

Where is my dividend?

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
