Pay back my money and then you can get that bonus.

Nothing more than a 90% Income Tax Rate. Hope these people feel as well when they come after their income.

i have amused by the term “Wall Street talent”. What talent is required to do dumb things, display colossal greed and ignorance? This great "talent" apparently extended to Harvard as they lost hundred of millions of dollars. I respectfully submit that some less "talented" persons should be recruited to work there to straighten out the mess.

Next, the Pay Czar will take a look at cutting by 50% the salary of one Colin Barr.

Now how are you feeling about that, Colin?

what a simplistic...perfectly childish premise. no wonder we’re being subjugated by the media.

Since the Taxpayer Bailed ‘em out, I’d say the Taxpayer is their most important and best performing employee.

Since we have 140 million workers

and

WallStreet gave out 140 BILLION in bonus’s

each worker in the USA should get 1000 dollars

because I’m sure Wallstreet wouldn’t want to lose its best employees.

They have a point--just like the fact that the gubbermint has been in the hands of Ivy League einsteins since 1989--how'd all those geniuses work out?

The fact is, it is all an inside game and merit has precious little to do with it.

This concept is ridiculous. Where exactly are the dead weight losers going to go except the financial world? Only Washington DC and if can can destroy that, well goody gumdrops.

Too bad some of these companies didn’t have the smarts to lose some of this great talent before it lost them so much money.

It never ceases to amaze me that stupid CEO's beg congress for money and expect not to be controlled by them...The guys at GM and Chrysler are too damn dumb to be CEO's of a hot dog stand...same goes for any company that thinks the government is their piggy bank....To then have the arrogance to continue in the old ways of pay makes them not only stupid but thieves and belong in prison..The free market should never involve government...its too involved with its stupid regulations, red tape and mandates as it is...

The regulations on mileage for cars make cars lighter and insurance companies rates are sky high, cause a small fender bender ends up costing thousands of dollars and more people die in accidents. To solve this more regulations, air bags in the front, then its the sides, pretty soon you'll totally enveloped in air bags and have a periscope to see the road...(that one is a little exaggeration).

This didn't happen overnight, the public let them do it cause it was for the safety of all until freedom is nevermore..I have watched it creep since the 70's...

Those nanny's love the regs. smoking nazi's, snitch on your neighbor nanny's, seat belt nanny's, cycle helmet nanny's, even helmets for kids on bikes...I raised 5 and my good Lord, they survived without the government....so did I..I was born before the end of WW2.
