The bailouts are necessary like it or not... these banks are rooted so deep in the economy's ass that letting them fail would endanger human kind ... yeah.. is that bad.. so the fuckers had to be bailed out by tax payers..... and now that their companies were saved by all of us they are fucking complaining their asses are not going to make it on 500K a year? .......... someone outta bitch slap those sons of bitches ...

This aint about socialism...cause the gvt is not doing the same thing with all CEOs .. (only the ones who fucked up big and are begging for money) ..... this is about the fuckers endangering the entire economy...... so now that the government tells them they ain't going to be playing with tax payers money.. they yell "Socialists!" ... I say GFY!

oh those poor bankers. Let's start "banker-aid" and see if U2 will play it

i am glad you get it. :thumbsup

my heart bleeds for them really it does lol

500k is a lot of money...

500k isn't shit... After you pay 60% in taxes you don't really have all that much leftover.

Also, some of these CEO's were brother in AFTER the failure. If they don't pay them decent they will leave for a different industry.

Try to live from 500k in Luanda...

well i would love to try

gonna have to give up the chauffeur now... i feel really sorry for them

People think there is a difference between Main Street and Wall Street. There's not. nearly all those banks and financial companies are public companies owned by millions of regular Americans (and non-Americans for that matter). JThe banks owners are regular people saving for their retirement in their 401ks and through mutual funds. Even the biggest shareholders are large public companies owned, again, by the citizens of Main Street. The same people who lost 30% of their home equity and 45% in their 401k, the same people who bought options ARMs, the same people who bought into "Real estate never decreases in value" own Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America. Either directly through mutual funds. The result is the same. Main Street *is* Wall Street.

good explanation on why bailing out wall street will save main street.
