It's funny how all rich people stick together. They also somehow have no idea that there are some who have less. Much much less.

I dont get it. How can they not know?

It seems we all feel the same about that clown. He's just another bush the Dictator clone without a clue.

You really have no idea how money works, do you?

(Hint: it doesn't just fall from the sky.)

If, on the other hand, Don 9/11 is talking about companies not selling their soul for a "bailout", then for once I'll have to agree with him. Top money brings top talent, and top talent brings top performance, even in an "economic crisis" (engineered by the feds). Limit that, and top talent will leave this country. Hope you know how to say "would you like fries with that" in Cantonese...
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but this top talent is afflicted, or blessed, with rapacious avarice. That's why they work in finance.

Another poster child for what is wrong with greed, corruption, and the repugnant party that just doesn't give a damn about anyone not in the top 0.5% of the food chain.

Being a New Yorker, I was NEVER a fan of Ghoul-LIE-Ani. His polices reflect that of a typical far right individual who is basically out of touch with the people of his own city he once governed, and the times that us American's live in.

Did anyone follow his Republican Primary campain? Remember wen Ron Paul told the truth about America in front of Mccain and all the GOP candidates how quick Ghoul-LIE-Ani spewed his Pro-Bush propaganda into the sea of people in attendance and basically made sure that Mccain looked good?

He is obviously just a politcal puppet. How could people give him any serous attention?

YES, for the ultra wealthy CEOs of FAILED companies it was handed to them (like falling from the sky !) in the form of a huge WELFARE check!


They did nothing to EARN it but destroy the economy..... (strengthening the belief that it was planned.)

It's the government that destroyed the economy with its control of the fiat money supply, mandates forcing bad loans, taxes, regulation, and all the other government interventionism that takes place.

But, like I said, the companies getting the bailout money deserve to be screwed. Every MBA program should begin with a class where you're taught to say: "Free money? No thanks!"
