We have one political party that broadly agreed with you and one who had to be "bought off" with stuff that didn't help, including a smaller than needed stimulus.

But what if all the little guys said, "Let's take our cut of the bailout by developing a national movement of people who refuse to pay their debts?" Suppose eight or ten million households decided, for just a month or two, to forego making payments to the banks? Pundits would call that reckless and un-American. They'd be wrong, of course, as that would be a true tea party of sorts.
