AIG Stock Widow

I am a 63 year old woman. My husband died 3years ago in february. We loved and cared for each other for 40 years. My husband worked for many companies because of buyouts.

Over the years we did what seemed to be the responsible thing. We invested 10% of our income in company stock. The major portion of it was in aig. It grew over my husbands employment career. my husband had lymphoma.

He was ill for nine years. He died and i was so distressed and missing him that I was not ready emotionally to make changes in his investments.

Late summer of 2008 I spoke to my advisor about making changes so that not so much of my future income was in a single stock.

I would have made a change, but the greed of the people in control of my money and the lackness of my government, my senators and congress men/women made the decision for me.

I'm not impoverished but I'm not sure now that I will be able to take care of myself. I am so angry with people that had a duty to protect me.

Instead they by commission or ommission took advantage of me and many people like me. The sad thing is that they are still doing it. The thieves are still allowed to rape us and our country.

Our representatives for reason of ignorance graft or greed are still selling us down the river. I've been robbed and now i am expected to pay for their sins.

I am paying for their rewards for them being allowed to take my living from me. I'm so disappointed in my government. I feel helpless. i am a strong woman. But I have no tools to deal with the carnage that my fellow man/woman has been allowed to bestow upon me. I have children. one of them disabled.

I had hoped to leave a legacy for them. thats what their father wanted me to do. This is getting overly long. Not as long winded as my senators and congress men/women when they are posing in an attempt to show their ablility to run this wonderful country for us.

The sad thing is i could have done a better job left to my own devices. again i am so sad. this country is build on a belief that we are all in this together. I know things have changed.

But is now okay to harm our fellow countrymen or help others to do us harm. this is what our elected officials have done. What can we do? I would like to have the ability to change things. I feel like i don't have a chance.

i will work with any one that has a plan to change this mess without doing more harm to my country. i would rather die than to make this mess worse.
