kallend 2,027 #27 October 25, 2011 Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Oh, I don't know. They aren't asking taxpayers to pay them personal $multi-million bonuses like the AIG execs did. ok, let's talk scale though. OK, $550 thousand vs $200+ MILLION. And the AIG execs bankrupted their company and bled the taxpayers. On the greedy scale there's just no comparison. Leeches! AIG....isn't that the company whose top exec took a $1 salary and no bonus in 08/09? Why, yes...yes it is. Funny thing about those bonuses you rail about.... Quote For example, Obama’s “pay czar,” Kenneth Feinberg, on Wednesday approved a $4 million raise for AIG CEO Robert Benmosche. Then, of course, there's Freddy/Fannie... Quote The federal regulator of bailed-out mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac defended plans Friday to give $210 million in retention bonuses to employees he said had lost years of savings when the companies’ stock collapsed in 2008. So you agree that corporate goverment department execs are greedier than the protesters. Cool. Fixed it for you. And the gov dept heads are using these usful idiots to help them AIG and F-M are PUBLICLY traded companies, not government departments. Not that facts ever bothered you.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dks13827 3 #42 October 29, 2011 All of my grandparents, born about 1905, went from dirt poor literally, do decent jobs, college (or tradeschool ) for their kids, and the same for us grandkids, who have had nice lives. Nicer than 100 years ago raising chickens, watermelons, and corn in MO and OK. I think it really does work, at least it used to. Now, if your folks are druggies or winos.............. not much I can do about that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CloudyHead 0 #49 October 29, 2011 It's funny how many people take this seriously "We're going to take back what's rightfully ours" "What is rightfully yours?" "Pretty much all the money in the United States of America" That dialogue pretty much proves that this is purely satirical. Anybody who uses this material to support their views are ridiculously blind to a good joke. These guys are probably 99 per centers, just fed up with the protests.

billvon 2,991 #50 October 29, 2011 >Grassroots? OWS? Friggin HILAROUS. A more careful reading will reveal that I was referring to the Tea Party - the most awesomest "grassroots" popular protest the right wing has ever come across. You yourself defended their grassrootiness a while back. And yes, it is indeed amusing to watch. But I have a strange feeling that as soon as you realize that I was referring to the Tea Party, you will think "well, gee, now that's not funny at all. In fact I feel compelled to defend them again!"
