When firms grant stock options, they are ''giving people a piece of the dream,'' XXXX said. ''We can't stand by and let accountants wearing green eyeshades decide who is going to get the American Dream.'' one of the more ridiculous things i've heard in a while. you'll never guess who said this. Barbara Boxer, who is reportedly a liberal democrat looking out for the 'little guy' but who here is trying to make sure Larry Ellison gets to pretend his 10mm annual options don't cost the company anything. i don't know why they bother to call them 'republicans' and 'democrats' any more. they are all just farking whores. here's another choice quote: Boxer said granting options is ''how our high-tech companies attract the best and the brightest,'' and if FASB tries to clamp down on the practice, ''I won't stand by and see it taken away.'' what she meant to say was "granting options is how our pretend economy in California endeavors to transfer wealth from the rest of the US, and in fact the world. and you know, we have a big deficit in California right now so we really need that wealth transfer."
