Kudlow: Can't Forget The Fat Cats

[BrezhnevIsMyCoPilot]

If "losing your firm and shareholders multiple billions of dollars" counts as "success," then what is failure in Kudlow's book?

[cincinnatusnow]

Lets not punish "successful" fat cats?-no one is punishing them-its all quite the opposite-they are not successful and they are getting bailed out not punished for mismanagement. .

[annarboriter]

The facts change and are put on display but the ideology remains rocksolid!

[bernlin2000]

I agree with Kudlow, let's not punish successful entrepreneurs: just punish the one's that have failed and got us into this mess. There's plenty of hard working business owners who didn't screw with the system or take advantage of it, and still make off well.

[DeletedDelusion]

The thing is these CEO's aren't entrepreneurs at all, they invested the money of others with almost no risk for themselfs.

If "their" company goes broke they just move on (after getting a compensation from which you and me could live off for the rest of our lifes) to the next idiots to harvest from.

[Mychaels]

Yes lets punish entrepeneurs. They do not need help if they gambled and lost! Sucks to be them!

[mrbadguysan]

Actually, they gambled and we all lost.

Heh - I was talking to a guy at a local business club meeting who owns three clubs in the central Florida area. He's not worried about being taxed more - he's fine with that - as long as his customers get their jobs back and get some tax relief. He said it plain and simple, "I'm off 20% in gross receipts from last year. If my customers can't afford come in the front door, I won't have a business to worry about paying taxes on."

Why don't the Republicans understand that simple fact?

[MooseOfReason]

What simple fact?

[47f0]

The simple fact that when you starve the roots, the tree dies. Republicans seem to think you water the top of the tree and maybe a few drops leak down to the ground.

These are the same Republican geniuses who want to hand me a 5,000-dollar voucher for a new Chrysler. Man, if I'm out of work, if my diabetic kid has lost his health insurance, if I'm struggling with a mortgage, the new Chrysler isn't even on my damned radar.

[kurtdawolf]

these fatcats arent "successful" if they are getting bailouts...what f-ing planet does someone fail but get a bonus...usually they get fired and someone else is given a chance to perform...I wish "rich" people would stop saying just having money means you are successful...retarded!

[alnewberry]

Funny how nobody thinks about those of us who actually earn the money they're looting to give to corporations.

[lamouchemorte]

Oh they do think of us. Just as a farmer thinks of his cows and pigs.

[chingon711]

we need to starve the fat cats.

[MooseOfReason]

Animal cruelty.

[NatureLegalized]

ALL LAMESTREAM MEDIA = FAT CATS.

they're all full of Fat Cat CRAP.

[EasyWolf31]

Kudlow is a living dinosaur, the guy is so whacked he doesnt know what he's saying anymore. The guy is still excpecting the market to rip just because he says so, what a retard, if it wasnt for his guests they'd have canned his mumbling dumb ass, what a retard still thinks its the 80's where you can tell people whatever you want to take their money, what a gypsy, someone should walk in there and break him.

[lezxotic]

"what a retard still thinks its the 80's where you can tell people whatever you want to take their money"

WHAT RETARD TO NOT REMEMBER THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT BERNIE MADOFF DID .  d-u-h.

[gigantibyte]

These bailouts are like paying your visa bill with mastercard.

[SeaTownGunner]

CNBC are punch of kiss asses to "FAT CATS"

[tonycapricorny]

"We all love Mainstreet Cats BUT" translates to "let's punish Mainstreet Cats for not being Fat Cats.

[TiTSxxMcGEE]

looks like the ceo's this yr will be forced to choose over a new boat or a new private jet... DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE FAT CATS!!!

lol, let there bloated voices be heard!

[tonycapricorny]

I don't think he realizes that "Fat Cat" is not a term of endearment.

[DeletedDelusion]

Maybe we should feed the fat cats like that fat dude in monty pythons "the meaning of life"....

[requiem777]

Hahaha

One more bailout, monsieur?

Just one more little ten billion dollar bailout?

[lamouchemorte]

HAHA That is really funny. Too bad those fat pieces of shits are like black holes and just keep on sucking things in. They will never explode. The Cheneys and Limbaughs get to do whatever the fuck they want. Hey American Middle Class: Go FUCK YOURSELF.

[njcarlos1]

He didn't say can't forget the fat cats... what's with putting words in his mouth? He was simply curbing her obvious hatred and disdain for successful individuals. He said nowhere that they should get money. What's with the libel TPM?

[Richardgwm]

We need to return to the 90% marginal tax rate on all income over $400,000. It seemed to do great things for the economy after WWII

[bennygale]

Bailout for Bunglers!
