| One Hundred and Forty Four BILLION dollars |

That is the figure that will be paid in Wall Street Bonuses according to the Rachel Maddow Show last night.. I think we should ask for an even bigger tax cut for these people, because it is obvious they are hurting..."Main Street not Wall Street" said Obama so very forcefully...

Con Man: More formal term: confidence man a person who swindles another by means of a confidence trick. a swindler who exploits the confidence of his victim.
I would see that as a fitting term for this admin at this point. I certainly feel conned.

If you contribute $100 million to the profit of a bank, do you deserve a bonus of $1 million?

No one at no time deserves a Bonus of a million dollars or more..Question if a Corporation such as GM or Ford creates a Profit in the Billions should the Administrators of that Corporation make more than five hundred times as much as their highest paid worker?

| 5. I support workers getting a fair cut of the action |
|
even if that cut is $1 million. Many WS bonuses go to workers who produce profits for the company.
The fact that CEOs that make 500 times the average worker is disgusting.
