[il128]

For auto workers cutting pay was fine. For the bankers who caused all this... It's a problem?  repubs are morons.

There's something weird about "rank and file" getting more than 400k anyways.

Babe Ruth had a better year from his grave then George W Bush. And Mary Snow reminds me of an owl.

i dont think babe ruth was asking for hand-outs

[boobiecats]

And the banks haven't had a better year than the president. What a weird analogy they were trying to make there.

I don't care if you're the janitor or the top executive....if you work for a company owned by the taxpayers, you follow taxpayer interests.

[CalexanderJ]

The obvious flaw with the Babe Ruth analogy is that Ruth said he derserved more money than Hoover because he had a better year, whereas these Wall street guys had a terrible year and they're still raking it in.

Financial firms taking public money aren't private businesses anymore.

The executives shouldn't be paid more than people in the government.

Some postal workers do a great job. They don't get paid millions per year.

Nor should people who work at bailed out financial firms get paid millions per year.
