One thing that really, really burns my ass
is that these guys in charge get anything. They must get fired and walk away with NOTHING. Go to unemployment like you must do if you fuck up at YOUR job. Why in the world would the government give them ANYTHING ?? I mean it, fire them!!!! I could swallow this shit so much easier if they were fired. I heard (don't have a link but will find it if anyone wants me to) One of the executives on the top on these 5 banks has 7 houses and 2 yachts and also some of the top guys salaries are a MILLION DOLLARS a month.

2. You don't get it, these people are better than we are, they deserve
all that money just for being who they are.

It's the way it is.

5. Yeah
Unless you pay them enough, you can't get such stellar leadership for your company. :sarcasm:

3. yep
among other things. it seems so plain that if they hadn't been so incredibly greedy we wouldn't be in this spot. but they remain so and they won't be taking the hit, they won't go without money or worry about making the rent.

4. The question is how do you punish those deserving of punishment
without punishing millions of innocent Americans? Where do you draw the line? Is it worth it to punish half of Americans to get the greedy Wall Streeters? Life is not fair and there is no way of taking down those deserving of it without causing some faultless regular people to get hurt also.
