Well, it finally happened. Billionaires for Bush have decided to take care of things once and for all. In their own words:

What You Get: $ Winning bidder (to repeat, you must be a Wall St. Firm (see note below) may immediately begin charging ordinary Americans: Brokerage fees! Deposit fees! Management fees! Service fees! Early withdrawal fees! Fees to process fees! New owners will be allowed to invent any new fees we haven’t thought of yet!
