Why is it that everyone is upset by high wage earners?
We aren't...we are upset over greedy dishonest and irreparably corrupt assholes who have been robbing the people blind every chance they get.
Okay a good 60% don’t do anything to earn their money, or so I am led to believe by anybody that has a grudge against the rich or have a debt crisis of their own.
Or by academic statistical studies that prove it.
Bankers; and let’s take RBS,s top man as he seems like a rich man, and by the sounds of it he will be £1.5 million richer if he receives his bonus, which I am in no doubt he will. Since he took over from Sir Freddy Goodwin that took the bank down, the one now has restructured the bank and closed all the holes so that money cannot leak out anymore.
Good for him, give him a cookie, a pat on the back, a job well done Sir, a small bonus...something under a million dollars and lets give the rest to the people who need it, rebuild some infrastructure, give some people good paying jobs.
There is a way to stop their high bonuses...
Yep make it illegal!
By the way I live on a pension, I am not rich but comfortable, but I worked for it. I have always lived on the principle that if I have not got the cash to spend then I will not buy it.
To bad AIG and all the other speculators(who by the way knew plenty in advance that the whole house of cards was going to fall and fall big) didnt follow your example then.
Everyone is blaming the banks for the mess Europe is in...
Because it is their fault we are in it. When they mark loans up and fix credit as they please even when they know better and then bet against the person they loaned the money too so as to maximize their own profit... when the guy cant continue making payments because they lied to the poor sob who believed them to be telling him the truth...who is to blame? ...the greedy banker asshole speculators are to blame and the big corporations are right there with them and useing all their power and influence to continue taking advantage of the system and someone needs to stop them.
