So I’m assuming that “bonuses” are paid when a profit is made. So if this money is paid as a bonus to whiner Executives, couldn’t the companies divvy this up via shareholders and pay dividends with it, which would be taxed instead?? Either way it gets taxed.
Their stock options will still be taxable once cashed. There’s too much drama with this thread.
I agree. I don’t see why people would be against this...it’s based on performance which is quite fair. The only way they won’t get their stock is if the company is doing poorly. Maybe they might consider their stockholders for a change.
Sh...it’s still a secret about how this free trade fraud has bankrupted this country...unsustainable consumption market-no prosperity only bubbles.
What about moral hazard? These welfare people are not Gods of the universe, thus are subject to moral hazards...why they might not buy fine are, illegal cigars (Cuba) and the assorted really important high end product our master buy.
There is one flaw in this reasoning...Bush was president...as Pres. Truman once said, ‘the buck stops here’. He appointed all the people named except the Dem...he sold it to Congress and the American people in a press conference...nope trying to blame Obama for this problem which began under Bush make us look foolish.
However, there was a little gem put in Tarp 1 by the government...they could change the agreement at any time in terms of compensation and dividends etc...it’s why over 30 banks including Beneficial did not take Tarp money...too bad live with the conditions or pay the money back...they would rather lie and say Congress won’t let them pay the money back...BS by BS artists.

——but of course-——
It does seem a little, well, dumb, to champion a consumer-driven economic model while getting rid of the means by which people can consume in the first place (i.e. jobs).
Yes, Bush was President blah, blah, blah. The Dems owned the House and the Senate from 2006. The Dems controlled the original TARP funds, too. Now they control the second half of the TARP funds and a MASSIVE spending bill that I like to call 0bama’s Reparations Bill to Benefit Those Who Contributed to 0bama’s Campaign. Too bad Big Media is controlled by the Dems also. If we had an independent Media we wouldn’t be in this fix. And I mean America not Republicans. An independent Media would have been truthful about 0bama and he wouldn’t have been able to get near the WH. Meanwhile I would like to point out that Bush isn’t complaining. I am. In the 8 years that Bush was in DC he consistently appointed Dems to many posts and many of them rewarded him by leaking info and stabbing him in the back in other various ways. This bipartisan BS from 0bama is just rhetoric but Big Media laps it up. Yes, Master, is there any other way we can help you defraud the American public? Yes, Master, consider it done.
Isn’t that the truth...braniacs go to consumption driven economic model...jobs losses result...consumtion drive economic model fails miserably...totally predictable.
Obama was beat up pretty badly during the primaries, you have to fact the fact he defeated McCain decisively...in the Mid West, trade played a role. We don’t live in 1980 anymore where there were no other voices but the drive bys...we have independent media now.
You’ve got to be kidding me. 0bama was treated with kid gloves during the Primaries and the General. The only place I can hear my point of view in commentary is Talk Radio and FoxNews half the time. There was a load of information about 0bama that was not a focus that would have changed at least the Primaries. If the Media had publicized Edwards affair when they first knew about it 0bama wouldn’t have won Iowa. Edwards would have dropped out and Hillary! would have won Iowa. Not that I like Hillary! but the Media was her downfall. Everyone that voted for 0bama knew he was a liar when he said ‘I didn’t know Rev Wright was that way’. Twenty years at the church and 0bama didn’t know that Wright and Trinity subscribed to Black Liberation Theology?? Sorry. 0bama is an empty suit and the Media has covered for him at every turn. Without a teleprompter he stutters and stumbles his way. Nope, Media is responsible for him and they will have to take the responsibility with him for the mess this stimulus will create.
