“Attorney General Cuomo’s report on executive pay at companies receiving taxpayer bailouts is shocking and appalling”

This is a start, IMO. The next step is to ask: How did those bankers "earn" their bonuses?

Answer:

1. By taking huge risks with other people's money, backstopped by US taxpayers, or ...
2. By programming computers to front-run orders or churn and skim $$ off the top of every trade

Whats the complaint?? All those bonuses get taxed so some of the money gets back to the US government. And the states get their share too!!

Can't you guys see green shoots when their out there?? Sheesh...

Now, where's Helicopter Ben with my bonus for simply being a living, breathing US taxpayer?? I'll gladly pay the tax rate those guys get if he sends me the same amount!! <:-)
