class warfare at its finest....thanks to our Dear Marxist leader who, as the fiscal cliff approaches, is headed for a 20 day multi million dollar vacation in Hawaii. Our fearless leader playing the fiddle while Rome burns...
"TAXES that would have been collected by NY on these bonuses will be much less as well. I guess the rest of NY taxpayers will now have to make up the shortfall. As the commercial said..." in socialism, the rich will be poorer, but the poor will be poorer too." So cheer when people more successful than you get negatively affected. A shame that's what it takes to make you happy."
Obama is taking a vacation to his hometown, not taking a vacation because Hawaii is tropical I'm from Puerto Rico, am I gonna be bashed for taking a vacation to Puerto Rico in winter if I'm ever POTUS just because none of you were born and raised and have most of your family living on a tropical island?
Notice it doesn't say anything about what those wealthy hedge fund managers are actually getting in bonuses ---- it's just some highly paid millionaires grousing about what might happen. Don't worry --- they'll be OK.
Last year was a tough year for the stock market and hedge fund managers compensation fell by 35 %.
Nevertheless, average pay for the top 25 earners in 2011 was $576 million each. Yes, half a billion dollars.
According to the actual article in the OP the the average bonus will be -- $101,000.
They'll barely scrape by! Poor things will starve. No new Mercedes this year!
Cry me a river !!!!!!
Indeed. Does the OP need reminding what the avg. salary in the U.S. is?
$47,000. That bonus...is 2x the avg. salary.
