This will be short.
Why are any of these banking execs allowed to retain their jobs?
Why are they allowed to stay in the business at all?
Why are they not banned from working in the financial business for the rest of their life?
These people nearly destroyed the economy of the world.
And all they get is a measley pay cut?
Their pay reduced to a level that most of us can only dream of?
"What could I do with $500K a year ...." is what most of us think when we hear of ANYONE making $500K a year.
And this is "punishment" for these people who nearly destroyed the economy of the world?
There's really not much to add to this.
Those who nearly destroyed the economy of the world are allowed to keep their jobs?
They are allowed to keep their jobs.
Just in case that didn't quite sink in:
They are allowed to keep their jobs!
They are allowed to keep their jobs AND get $500,000.00 a year.
That's $41,667.00 a month.
That's $10,417.00 a week.
For nearly destroying the world's economy.
Only in the bizarro-land of the post-Bushian world would this be seen as "punishment". Or an "improvement".
Well, we can do better, and we should demand it. We should demand that ALL of these people should be removed from their jobs, and ALL of them should be, at the VERY LEAST, banned from working in that industry for the rest of their lives.
And while the investigations begin, and continue, as to how these people nearly destroyed the world's economy, they should not be allowed to leave the country, and they should have ankle bracelets on them at all time letting us know where they are. So when the investigations are over, we can throw the really guilty ones into jail.
Why are we putting up with this crap? How much shit are we supposed to eat?
Whatever happened to simple, goddamn common sense?
I would like someone, anyone, to explain.
Mr. Obama? Anyone? Care to take a shot? Have tumbled so far down the Orwellian rabbit-hole during the last eight years that we're supposed to cheer this bullshit?
What. The. FUCK?
