>>Allen - Could you tell me a few prominent Republicans who've been on the board, or in charge of any of the failed financial institutions that received bailout funds?<< Michael - No, I couldn't, nor do I feel obligated to. You are the one who is making the assertion that they are predominantly Democrats, so I'd say it's up to you to come up with the facts to back up your assertion. Is it your contention that no prominent Republicans were CEOs or were on the boards of any of those institutions? Do you also believe that the Democrats on those boards are all a bunch of liberals? If so, on what do you base that belief? If you don't know the party affiliations of all of the board members, CEOs and other top managers of those companies, why do you make these assertions? I do know that people who make more than 75k per year are more likely to be Republicans than Democrats, if that helps you at all. But to get up to CEO salary ranges, we'd have to get a lot more granular than that at the high end. people-press.org - Allen
