25. I used to say, hell, I can screw up a company for HALF that...
But I've come to realize that if you undercut the competition, your potential clients don't RESPECT your ability to screw up the works. So, I've decided on a new strategy:
You paid these clowns a measly $11 Million to screw up your company? I laugh. Your company's still standing, isn't it? You want the best screw-up in the business (that's me!) then your stockholders will pay through the nose and enjoy every minute of it! Call 555-1212 for details, but if you're not serious (and I'm talking about at least $50 Million serious!), don't waste your time and mine.

They'll be lined up for blocks.

29. I don't know if I could, I'm just too competent. But for that kind of money, I could act stupid.
George Bush was a great President! Sarah Palin is really very smart! Why should the richest 20% of the people pay 72% of the income tax? So what if they own 73% of the wealth? The bottom 50% pays almost no income tax! Tax them more! So what if they have almost no money? And we have to do something about Social Security! So what if rich people hardly pay anything in Social Security taxes compared to middle class people? Our rich investment bankers need to control that Social Security money so they can make more money. I'm sure they will invest it all safely, like in Mortgage Backed Securities. That's safe as houses!

Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! I can't keep it up. I can't do it. I can't force myself to be that stupid. Not even for 11-ty gajillion dollars. Frack!

32. When someone "screws up", and they walk away with millions...
...they didn't screw up. It only looks that way to the loser investors who have to go home penniless while certain people walk away with wheelbarrows full of cash. No one makes that kind of money accidentally.

3. It is a different world than that of the 99%.
In OUR world, if you were worth 11 million, you would not be getting a severance check. And, if you are getting a severance check you are not, by definition, worth 11 million.

We have stepped through the looking glass.

I mean, Price and Check in the names? They may as well have been Jimmy Money and Mary Dollars.

19. I don't get where either class or resentment enter the picture.
What I see is thousands of hard working people being laid off due to incompetent management's lousy decisions. At the same time, two under-performing executives are being lavishly rewarded.

What does "class resentment" have to do with any of this?

Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 08:39 PM by DisgustipatedinCA
(most deleted on edit...Original text was ill-advised, and too vicious. Not proud of this, so I am deleting).

It's very clear that you don't have any understanding of the magnitude of anger toward bankers and their ilk..

Not knocking Doonsbury for keeping the story out there, but the story about their golden parachutes was actually reported on.

It reminds me of the sign I've seen posted that says "When people rob banks, they go to jail. When banks rob people, they get bonuses. Mama, let your sons grow up to be bankers."
