Wall Street’s Golden Parachutes!
The Government is out of their damn mind! The package they have put together and thank God has failed to pass would allow each of the top executives of the companies they are bailing out to KEEP their golden parachutes. Packages that the bailout would not be able to exclude because they had been in place before the government stepped in to save the companies and prior to the Democrats adding curbs on CEO pay. How in the world can they put that on our shoulders? This is all being put on us “THE PEOPLE” and even though we didn’t benefit from all the good business they generated we sure as hell are going to benefit from the breakdown! Not Fair!
Had the bill passed Millions of dollars would have been paid out to people who were on employed for less than three months, THREE MONTHS! How the hell can you pay someone $22 Millions dollars for working only a three month period? Another gentleman which was CEO of Washington Mutual and held that seat for a WHOLE 3 weeks would have been $3 Million richer! So what this tells me is that all we are doing is keeping the rich richer while taking away from the lower and middle class and now basically crushing their hopes of ever getting anywhere!
Bush is trying I will say that, but I believe he is only trying to show face without having a clue! Can we please go back and re-read what is being voted on? Can you exclude that part of the deal and use that money where it actually is needed? Yes bail out the organizations which need it, but don’t give money to the damn people who caused the problems in the first place! That’s rewarding someone for messing up, and aren’t we already doing enough of that by giving away $700 Billion to the banks? Golden Parachutes, I wish we could just give these people golden showers!
