  • Perhaps we don't need them to hold those positions. Actually, we'd be better off if they didn't. Just ram it down their throats the way they rammed this economy down our throats.

  • Perhaps it's time some bankers saw the interior of jail cell.

  • @vanityngreed yeah right, if your below 6 digits u are at 10% / 15% / 25% brackets, at most half of the half tax

  • No, we're not entitled to any of that money.

  • @Magicwillnz " Perhaps it's time some bankers saw the interior of jail cell."

    Some!? It's time to drive buses, marked 'Leavenworth', up to the largest banks. Next, the can go to Wall St, the capitol and then the Pentagon. Yeah, I said it, the Pentagon! They assist the crooks, with the promise of becoming crooks themselves.

  • GREAT IDEA. Sounds like America is adopting a little more Socialism each day.

  • I get taxed at 50% on all bonuses that I make and I'm under six digits for salary.

  • Gotta love the senators from Virginia

  • @tehant1liberal by obama you must mean bush, right?

  • I think when a person gets into politics, becomes a politician, or anything close they should be able to always choose over their social relationships.

  • @882me But, hey, just watch, if this tax should pass, these 'wizards' will file some sort of law suit (?), or more likely, find loopholes to evade it like they do with all the other tax laws.

  • @lordaltay5 I believe this would only apply to those bonuses of execs at banks/financial institutions that received, or will receive, TARP funds. Which makes it very 'even handed'. There are plenty of tax laws out there already that apply only to specific instances. How is this any different?
