I’m not sure where these comments are coming from or where they lean politically, but I need to vent. I am SICK and TIRED of the greedy b@#$#!s that are in charge of Corporate America. I founded a manufacturing company over 25 years ago and I am still in business. SHOCK!!! It has not been easy ($250K Line of credit not renewed, mandating a 15% cut in either hours or salary for 25 employees, taking a 50% paycut myself), but we are going to make it. AND without a BAILOUT from Uncle Sam or even any of the frigging banks that are getting money (taxpayer backed) at a discount to invest for their own ‘proprietary trading’. I am sooooo f’ing tired of every one of these “executives” that have set themselves up for life (unless of course they piss it away on some mortgage for an overpriced property in the Hamptons). Since it appears that no one actually MAKES anything anymore, all I can say is screw all of the financial gurus, lobbyists, and politicians. From my current view, they all suck.
Well, gee, Martha, that’s just plain crazy. You see, what you want to do is cheer the pillaging of our Treasury by Corporate America, and then complain that the government is ineffective in stopping it.
And one more thing. Giving trillions of tax dollars to rich corporate fat cats is a good. Giving it to union autoworkers isn’t it. See? It’s not so hard.
