Well, the businessmen are at it again. It was reported today on Moneytalk
that business executives are slated to receive more money in executive
compensation than they are going to spend to fund employee pensions. This
includes executives from companies receiving bailout money from the
federal government. Many of these companies, especially the financials,
have made a lot of money this year since the stock market hit its lows in
March. As a result a lot of executives plan to get huge bonuses, bigger in
fact than they got last year. So as the country sees jobs go bye bye, and
average people got a lot poorer, big shot executives are slated to rake in
billions. Meanwhile, they are putting less money than they are going to
receive in bonuses into the pension plans for the companies' employees.
These pension plans are already underfunded by 200 billion. So there you
have it. You wonder why things are screwed up in this country? Look at our
businesses and look at the top. You'll see why. They live like kings and
make more money than ever as the rank and file American suffers. You have
to love capitalism. At least if you're an executive... or a republican.

I see you failed to mention all the raises for Congress critters. And
Michele's entourage of 21 personal assistants who are paid $100k to $200k
plus lifelong bennies. Hillary created a **** storm when she had three.
Most first ladies have had one.

It would have been a good thing for average people to have gotten those
jobs, but they were doled out to friends, family, and political
acquaintences.

No common people allowed.
