CNN: Wall Street execs get $61.2 billion; Kucinich calls it an outrage

[steelfukksw]

forget about your pensions even top companys stopped paying that, seen a shold tbing on 20/20 that showed all the companies that said "fuck it didnt congress give 900billion back to AMERICAN CORPS.

[TheAMERICANTYRANNY]

see my VIDEOS on Wall Street and Corporate America - time to go after these Corrupt Bankers and Wall Street Crooks with AXES - BALLBATS and GUNS were comin, beware ya corrupt Muther F****** - We've had enough time to fight back !

[weneedhelp]

If they cant pay them then they will lose their top talent? Same talent that got us into this crap?

Kevin J. Murphy, you are a tool. UNIV of So CA huh?

[omega771]

yo did he say that they could pay every employee 400k shit the kats at the top should fucking take a paycut they are the one wining off of the undereducated consumer why not make them pay all those $10 the 400k for the yr i bet that would get the economy moving a lil bunch of ppl with more money then they would ever see again hell they would by all kinds of shit just mandate that it had to be u.s. products... its really not a hard problem is just that ppl dont like change that just like to talk

[Rizky06]

Bailouts = Last Days of the worth of U.S. Currency...Paying I.O.U.'s with I.O.U.'S!!!

[SPIRITOFODIN]

So, Wall Street Jews get $61.2 billion in bonuses... but bailing out the auto industry which impacts hundreds of thousands of American families is bad? Did I read that right?

Are you grasping that, America??!

[tbackes]

perfect someone else sees it !!!! the government has been fluffiing the jews for years...there just caught now...

[Rizky06]

Auto Unions Don't Vote Republican!!

[SPIRITOFODIN]

I like how the media deflects attention from the MASS THEFT of the U.S. economy by the Federal Reserve and Wall Street - by attempting to demonize the Unions.

Let me get this straight: the Unions request assistance - at interest - and are rejected - but Wall Street thieves steal TRILLIONS from U.S. workers - and are then REFUNDED with BILLIONS in 'BONUSES' (for their FAILURE) - and EXQUISITELY GLUTTONOUS VACATIONS AT THE MOST ELITE RESORTS!

[sderenzi]

I agree, Unions or bust!

[diecrewdeluks]

''are you kidding me'' LOL right on dennis

[MrSmithKnows]

What an idiot (not kucinich, he's the man). This other guys says that these banks will lose their top talent.

Their banks are bankrupt. I have no banking experience but I think that as an executive, I could bankrupt these banks. It would be easy.

Just give all the capital out as bonuses and bankrupt the banks. That doesn't take much expertise, just a fucking idiot running the bank.

I think that some people need to go to federal prison.

[rawrxxter]

voting for mcain or obama wont maek a miracle happen there both full of bullshit backed up by big business we need to fuckin open up our pretty brown eyes and do something

[diannentex]

Unbelievable, lets just lay people off so we can keep our bonuses...or send the jobs over seas to cut costs...people better start getting mad and vote for a 3rd party..I'm not voting for a bailout Senator for President no freaking way!!! just my 2 cents

[travelfar22]

The Writing Is On The WALL $treet BailOUT!

The Bailout is taxation without representation or consultation!

RepubliCrat$ McCain and Obama voted for it!

Democrat/Clinton deregulated and caused this mess.

Republican/Bu$h blank check bails the crooks out.

Millions of Americans have no health care yet, RepubliCrat$

partY throw money into the Wall Street speculator gambler void! Vote NADER/Gonzalez '08!

[TheSereneWay]

Is this so surprising. The 'free' market culture continues with government supporting their monetary supporters. No longer is government 'of and for the people' it is big business supporting big business.

vote out all who voted for the bailout of wall street

[jdtrickster4]

It IS an outrage & the cause is the same as foisted the Federal Fractional Reserve banking system over us: The INT'L BANKSTERS!

Y Jose, la Empresa Libre o Laissez Faire (In Economics: A policy of gov't non-interference in economic affairs.) SI depende d OFERTA & DEMANDA pero aqui hace rato q TAL no existe. Bienvenido al nuevo Facismo Americano donD las GRANDES EMPRESAS mandan; los presidentes y "representantes" son titeres y tontos utiles y ladrones y bandidos especuladores crean sus fortunas.

[Soupdragoon]

There is really no reason not to cut the throats of pig corporate CEO types who engage in this criminal activity. The people's justice should be served on all of them!

Gracias Petroleros por bajar artificialmente la EXTRACCION DEL PETROLEO. El Mundo se acostumbrará a consumir menos petróleo, bajará la producción de derivados, bajará la industrialización, el HUMO y bajará aún más el precio del petróleo, y cuando suban la producción BAJARÁ MUCHO MAS EL PRECIO Y EN PICADA. Ahora nos damos cuenta que el precio no depende de la OFERTA Y LA DEMANDA como dijo BUSH.

[josejloayza]

DIVISA PATRON INTERNACIONAL (DÓLAR) es la moneda que todos los Países deben tener para respaldar la fabricación de sus propias monedas, y también se puede usar como moneda de intercambio entre Países.

DIVISA es toda moneda aceptada como medio de intercambio entre Países, pero no es un patrón.

MONEDA es aquella que pertenecen a cada País y NO sirven para pagar sus compras al exterior.

Estados Unidos fácilmente puede acabar con la competitividad de todos los Países.

[josejloayza]

¿Si el Dólar fuera fabricado por una Organización Mundial?

Estados Unidos tendría que pagar fuertes intereses para fabricarle DOLARES como lo hacen todos los Países de la Unión Europea. En la actualidad EEUU decide cuanto fabrica y cuanto interés se cobra a si mismo, es decir es juez y parte. EEUU en el tratado de 1944 obligó a todos los Países aceptar su moneda como DIVISA PATRON INTERNACIONAL exigiendo oro al Mundo para entregárselos.

[josejloayza]

EEUU nunca caerá en bancarrota y nada tiene que ver con sus Empresas, podrían dejar de trabajar y fabricar solo DOLARES, pero sería muy evidente cuando quieran comprar todo lo que deseen en el Exterior. Actualmente ESTAN EN BANCARROTA, y solo FABRICAN DOLARES, y con esto, tiran sus problemas económicos e INTERESES elevados al Mundo INOCENTE. EURIBOR por 700 billones bajó para EEUU de 5,4 a 3,5 y a Latinoamérica le subió a 5.

[mogilny89p]

They are so talented that although they don't pay any taxes, they can not survive without tax money. These are the same people who have spent their lives blaming poor people for everything wrong in the world. Yes poor people suck but they are paying you retarded ass's salary, or else you would be joining them. How long do you really think this will last? Better to pay up front.

[ohiolove19]

wow

[mogilny89p]

Anytime somone tries to tell you what is best for you, do the opposite of what they say and you will be fine.

[mogilny89p]

Those people are not talented, they bully old people, take them out and get them drunk. They are criminals, I know I worked there.

[joefan081]

Was anyone else shocked to see on the ticker that sex ed would be taught in kindergarten in England now??

Yep and it obviously includes gay and lesbian acceptability! Education or indoctrination?

Just one morte facet of the Zionist (Communist) agenda to impede humanity and aid the cull.

time to bust out the tar and feathers. anyone with me!?

Criminals belong in jail

[katards]

Top Talent?!!?!

[MrDeppness]

We need to go after these slimy SOBs. They are criminals against the whole country. Essentially domestic terrorists.

[BastardJack]

Burn baby burn

[2manic4u]

It's time to SWEEP the HOUSE! Vote OUT the encumbants who voted for the bail out! Get rid of the trash. Let the banks ALL fail! Shop in your community, get to know your neighbors, work together so we can build America up again!

[slashBslash]

Great Job America, It was nice knowing you...

[InTheSticks1881]

My grandfather was a VP of Finance of the largest corporation at the time. He retired after 40 years in 1968. He started out as a ditch digger and rose to the top on a 6th grade education.

His team of engineers played a key role in the establishment of what is now known to be the internet. Upon retirement as a VP his top salary was approximately $25,000. Today's executive compensation is out of control. America is out of control.

[Htown75]

suckers!!! Thanks Bush Inc.!

[CuredOfApathy]

Steal a television -- youll face time in jail. However, steal millions, billions, or perhaps trillions of taxpayer dollars in undeserved salary bonuses and stock option grants -- and never spend a day in prison! There are no significant repercussions for criminals with white collars and expensive attorneys. There is seemingly no consequences whatsoever for their corrupt and fraudulent behavior. Such is the state of justice in America today, which is to say, no justice at all.

[LiquidMetalBand]

The rich guys fuck up, so money is sent to them, and taken FROM us! Excellent!

[sugarpuddin88]

Gimme break!

Waxman & Kucinich...

Waxman & Kucinich made a big beef in Congress about impeaching Cheney

Waxman made a big beef in Congress about AIG taking pedicures

Waxman makes a big beef about Greenspan

Waxman doesn't make a difference; and everybody but the American sheeple know it!

Americans are ignorance sheeple who get what they deserve!

[pongman]

Cong. Kucinich please reorganize the bailout by taking the money and opening up new banks and call it the U.S. Bank of America and give the shares to the taxpayers. The new banks can then be regulated with independent bank examiners with a better business model and then give out loans to the American people. Please, don't give the money to Wall Street.

[sugarpuddin88]

pong - Do you really think your government is going to help you after all of this?

The USA is bankrupt & Oct 1st US Military troops are training to fight American citizens

US owes 96 trillion it has plundered & pledged to SS & Medicare

US plundered another 53 trillion from other trusts

US owes 10 trillion interest to a bunch of private bankers it allows to print money out of thin air

US owes on 12 trillion Freddie & Fannie; US owes untold to Bernanke's buddies on Wall Street

US is over!

[pongman]

Ok I get it. You want me to join Al-Qaeda so we can destroy Wall Street and the American government? Kill everyone that makes over one hundred thousand and create a new government. Lol is that what you want me to do? Y'know we haven't had a revolution in over two hundred years. Would you like to be our leader? lol

[sugarpuddin88]

Why is "Al-Qaeda" the ONLY solution for America in your mind?

[pongman]

I think it's because they are the new bogeyman and George Bush and Co. are so afraid of them. It use to be the Commies and the Russians but we found out later they are really harmless so George had to invent something new to scare the American people with.

[snappa52]

lose their top talent! lol old boys system for sure.

[FriedDaisy]

You don't lay people off while still giving out bonuses to the top tier like nobody cancelled Christmas. Who cares if bonuses were written into their original contracts. When they and their buddies crashed the world's economy those contracts and their promised bonuses got flushed down Wall Streets toilet right along with the pension funds of the average work-a-day American.

[maxx1000]

.

Dear Congressman Kucinich,

If the guys at the top of these companies screwed up, then just how can they justify a bonus?

A bonus for THE WORST FINANCIAL DISASTER... EVER?

Bonus = REWARD for a heck of a job!!!

Sounds rather Bushy... er, fishy, if you ask Americans.

F O L L O W

T H E

M O N E Y!!

.

[sugarpuddin88]

maxx - the Christmas bonuses for the top 5 Wall Street firms last year was greater than the entire GDP of Vietnam!

Now Bernanke, a man not even elected, has bailed them out - So they won't have to give their Christmas bonuses back; along with their Maserati's

In fact, the Trustee of the BK court would have likely prosecuted them for criminal negligence as well!

America is where the working poor bail out the rich!

American sheeple get what they deserve!

[ejbh3160]

"they have to pay them or they'll lose their top people".

yeahhh..! and???

Let 'em GO! In fact demand some of those 'bonuses' for doing such a sh!t job BACK! This lot said they could 'self-regulate' the 'markets' but have presided over the biggest crash since the 30's! Sack the LOT of them and bring in tight Banking REGULATIONS to prevent abuses like this in future!

But remember ALL the Corporations do this! This 'bonus' culture is GREED gone mad & its how they are BUYING their way to a NWO!

[fantasy0coach]

lol...'their top talent'....you know, the talented ones who collapsed the economy.

[danoking69]

Down with NWO, corruption and fraud, Up with unity, peace,, equality, health, environment and technology!!!

[sugarpuddin88]

dano - I'm sure your words fade like the wind through the forests of working class citizens who bail out the wealthy of America

American sheeple are suckers!

[EmelinaChaCha]

Go go Dennis. Stay on these people. We the people are lucky to have you on our side in congress. Thank you sir!

[abilityoflove]

Does being talented goves the person the right to exploit others?

[abilityoflove]

An army of bankers, traders and investors is sustained by the working class, and yet the working class get impoverished to the point of losing homes and living in tents.

A modern name for a vampire is the "financial industry". You cannot use garlic against it, only the downsizing and regulation can redeem their souls.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

All those effers are going to hell, Dennis Kucinich shoulda been the frigin president man, EFF American government.

[L0vethehater]

LOL,they will looose their "top talant" who got us in to this mess in the first place.This is the same scaretactic they play all over the world.Here in Sweden they played that bs too,If we don't pay them obscene amount of money they will leave us...

Alot of open jobs out there it seems for these "superstar gamblers" it seems.

Fucking obscene,they should all belong in jail!

When the hell will the american people revolt?

The system in the U.S. is so obvious corrupt and biased to the superrich.

[segagman]

...please read from my first coment first! ......if you care2

.................Correction. it takes me about 5 years to make 150,000.00

hope that didn't confuse.

we need more strait up people like Kucinich in public servant offices.

agree or disagree with him at least he has honesty and compassion for the people not wining but wining for the people by the people... Dennis is good peoples :-)

[thbyrnes]

We must as a people, put an end to the tyranny of the International Bankers!!!

They steal our money, and then they pay for puppet politicians so they can have laws passed to steal more money.

BURN THESE BASTARDS AT THE STAKE!!!

[segagman]

its all crazy. PLUS Palin's 150,000 close. Google calculator fun/misery

61.2 billion plus 150 000 = sixty-one billion two hundred million one hundred fifty thousand

it takes me about five years to make that...yep im joe six pack

(61.2 billion U.S. dollars) divided by 300 million people = 204 U.S. dollars {stimulus package addon}yea right...

national dept

(2 trillion U.S. dollars) divided by 300 million people = 6 666.66667 U.S. dollars

umm scary all those sixes so in

[segagman]

so in ending i say hold back 1.500.00 from every Americans income tax for four years

6000 divided by 4 = 1500

pay off the national dept! yea :-) :-P

yet money is still a worthless peace of paper that is determined by the amount in circulation.

BOO00oo

can you say silver standard<go back

[n8glenn]

Did you hear that guy at the end? Not only do tax payers have to keep these companies going, but we have to pay for the golden parachutes and exorbitant pay packages or the sky will fall on us! These people aren't even bashful about what they're doing anymore.

[Shorbbie]

Keep speaking for what's best for the people Dennis!

[repfreedomforce]

"Top talent" LOL Talented at taking and spending our money, and manipulating politicians to give them even more of our money through bailouts.

[Trance88]

Just like the old saying the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer!

[TheStoicAgnostic]

that's insane and yet not surprising at all

thanks Dennis

[RamsWrath]

"...and that's gonna be bad news for taxpayers, shareholders, and the financial markets."

I love these threats that we keep getting from those people. Ok, it's extortion. Do what we say, and "taxpayers" will be all right.

Rush this bill through without discussing it or "main street" will be hurt.

The attitudes of these people are deplorable.

Dennis is once again on the correct side of things...(no surprise to me)

[TheStoicAgnostic]

i was thinking the exact same thing

[TheGiantRobot]

It's not just extortion, it's phony extortion. Why are we supposed to want these "experts" back at the helm? I don't want to attract this kind of "talent" - I want them in jail. What can these guys do that a bank teller can't? Scheme and manipulate?

[righteouspolitics80]

this is deplorable.

[deluxchixbone]

hell no

[crypter27]

that pisses me off

[Rogue2373]
