Midterms Matter!

I do agree smokey about athelites get paid wayyyy to much.....same with movies stars. Doctors,scientist, techers,firefights get paid way too little.

Good atricle. These banksters are fucking us over and over. How can you reward faliure with such high pay and somehow justify that.....as if their is a way. These people don't do anything other than move money around. They didn't invent a cure for cancer.....they hare the cancer!

so?

Its just really nice to know that the company's that got bail out money paid themselves huge bonouses with essentially with money from us, the tax payer. Then what do they do to return the favor???? Abolutly nothing!!!...well other than forclose on peoples houses. Also its to be noted these company's paid huge amounts of money to fight and water down the financial reform....where did they get the money to do that when they were failiing???? Oh yeah that's right...us

What's even more mind boggling is how they have been able to get poor and minority people on their side, amazing how propaganda and fear never cese to gather the masses

we should not have bailed them out. that was our mistake. under normal circumstances though, it's none of anyone's business how much these people make.

like i said, we should not have bailed them out.

Oh, so you're just talking about the CEO's of the specific companies we bailed out. You never said that before. I thought you were saying that people should have control over what people earn from their jobs, just in a general sense. I understand now.

Although, I really don't care what these CEO's do as long as they pay the bailout money back.

yeah, they probably should have taken a bit of a pay decrease I guess. But who is going to give themself a pay decrease? Anyways, all I care about is them paying back the money which most of them have at this point plus some interest.

Smokey taarp was set up by bush under the guidence of henry palson, formor ceo of goldman. Of corse palson had no problem giving his old company money. More than likely he knew the day was coming. Unfourtinatly though we needed to rescure the banks...imagine how much worse the situation would have been without it. Much higher unemployment is where we would be for sure. Just thank god that the repulicans failed in trying to privatize socially security....now imagine what would have happend if they would have secceded and then we let the banks fail....anarchy in the streets it would have been

Lol thank you smokey your article proved my point. Henry paulson forced the banks..under bush....not obama.

Smokey are you going to ignore the facts I just pointed out? Palson forced the banks..under bush...not obama.....any response?

Ok smokey I can follow your logic for not liking the bailouts.....I just wanted you to stop spreading the false premise that obama bails out the banks when in fact it was bush....obama bailed out the auto industry....that is correct....weather we agree or disagree with thoughs decisions, its still important to get the facts stright.

A lot of people made a shit ton of money crashing the system no doubt

Nope, nobody forced them to make these shitty deals, bad legislation and de regulation opened the door, and their greed and lack of responsibility walked them right through it.
