I understand. After all, they lost everything. They paid enough. Don't pile on them. It is anti-business hatred. So say the men of infinite wisdom

I want my bailout. I want my family to get theirs, too. H3ll, give a couple to my neighbors and friends.
Free bailouts all around.
How many of these fools getting this payoff are democrat cronies?

Same thing happened where I used to work. The company went from a 6 billion dollar a year company to bankruptcy and yet the Board still got their bonuses. What company would bail out another company and honor the bonus plan? Why did the banks and bankruptcy court agree to do this?
When people condemn the idea of corporate greed they do so for a reason.

The $2.5 billion (£1.4 billion) pot, which has been ring-fenced as part of the acquisition Just to make sure that everyone understands the concept of "ring-fencing" - it means to take a chunk of money in a transaction and put it in a "pot" that is completely void of any risk whatsoever.
They probably created a series of tranches for the sale and the ring-fenched tranche is at the top of the heap. Any other tranches is where the garbage would lie.

I want reparations. As a German-American my Nazi ancestors were wiped out by Allied forces. Where can a German-American go now to steep himself in the culture of the Third Reich?? I want One Trillion Dollars to heal my psychological wounds and to buy that nifty red Ferrari I’ve got my eye on,...hey, after all, they were an Axis partner! So I’ve sent a letter to Bush asking him to drop a check in the mail. Should be here any day now! Can hardly wait to buy the Ferrari!

How does one get in on this scam? I want to destroy a historic institution and get paid big for doing it. Heck, I’ll be happy to ruin BAC for just $1 million. Heck, I’ll tatake $500,000 — anything bonus with six figures will do!

Anybody want to bet bushsucks.com is taken?

How does one get in on this scam?Easy. Attend an Ivy League institution, kiss all the right butts, and say and do everything they want.

Woah! that’s way too much work. This is supposed to be easy money. Can’t I just scrounge up some illegal Chinese campaign cash for Obama or something?

It’s the gazillionaire-class culture. They take care of themselves.
