Dead meat.

Editor,

Entrepreneurs who put up seed money to start a company claim forever the right to dictate to anyone they hire the terms of employment because they, the entrepreneurs, "took the risk" to start the company.

Why, then, is it assumed that the American people lose the right to dictate the terms of our engagement with the banks once the banks "pay back" the loans we gave them?

The banks are dead meat that we resurrected, and we therefore have the right -- by the same logic that the banks use to grind American workers into the dirt -- to tell the banks exactly what to do and how to do it from here on out.
