“Round up your pitch forks and rakes, some body get me a rope and don’t forget to light those torches guys, we’re gonna storm the Banks and git us some CEO’s!”
"Let's storm the Castle!"
With Senator Charles Schumer (D – New York) leading the charge we can take our political system back to, oh…how about Europe 1938. Have these idiots lost their minds? These morons are the clowns that put the Bailout Bill together. Remember October 2008? “If this bill isn’t passed we will see the total collapse of our economic system.” Buried in this bill was the language that gave AIG the power to offer up these “retainer bonuses”. Didn’t you guys read the bill? Apparently 74 of you didn’t. And who was, it that put those little perks in there? “Not I.” said Chris Dodd,… “Not me.” said Tim Geithner,…””It wasn’t me.” sputtered Barney Frank. They’re doing more story spinning up there, than a bunch of drunken laureates at a Borders Book Signing Party.
Then there’s those famous words from the right side of the isle. “Do the right thing,… like in Japan, bow low, ask for forgiveness, resign, and fall on the sword” “Are you frickin kidding me?”
I'd say the pile was about that big!
Apparently not only do they grow corn in Iowa, they also breed their share of Elmer Fudds too! Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). Managed to insert both of his size 12’s into his mouth, then marched around like a rooster for a while, only to discover that he had been following the elephants in the parade…very tasty. If it wasn’t so frightening it would be funny. The scary part is the house has now voted 328-93 to impose a 90% tax on the “retainer bonuses” of the CEOs. So…how many politicians does it take to destroy a government? Only 278… the other 50 couldn’t find the “Nay” button!! Do I applaud the bonuses that the AIG CEO’s received?…”Hell no.” Am I pissed off about the money that seemly went into individuals pockets?… “Yeah, who wouldn’t be.”
All the same, a contract, is a contract, and you damn well better read the fine print before you sign on the dotted line. Taxation to cover up government ignorance, or punish corporate arrogance is wrong. The greater fear I have is that these two buffoons have stoked up enough anger and rage to incite some nut job, to seek out justice against these CEOs, or worse their families. At that point our country will have surely lost it’s way.
Talk to you later.
I know this little road.
