Almost 700 Merrill executives paid $1m-plus bonuses
poor guys... User ID: 601793 United States 02/14/2009 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Almost 700 Merrill executives paid $1m-plus bonuses [link to www.ft.com] Almost 700 Merrill executives paid $1m-plus bonuses By Greg Farrell in New York Published: February 11 2009 19:38 \| Last updated: February 12 2009 00:14 Nearly 700 Merrill Lynch executives had cash bonuses of more than $1m each for last year, New York’s top law enforcement official disclosed on Wednesday. Andrew Cuomo, New York’s attorney-general, called the bank’s decision to bring forward nearly $4bn of pay-outs a “surprising fit of corporate irresponsibility” that raised “serious and disturbing questions”. Cuomo said the bonuses for 2008 were “disproportionately distributed to a small number of individuals”, with the top four recipients taking in a combined $121m.

The best part is that the pyramid has collapsed, so they take your .gov money, pay the $100 fine and move on. Isn't that what soviet justice is when you are "on the top"??? Remember some people are more equal then others. "I don't know which was scarier...the speech...or the Congress cheering it. He evoked Lincoln. Whenever a President is going to get us into serious trouble...they always use Lincoln." -2010

The economys of the world are collapsing and the thugs that stole set it up are getting paid millions. Its either shut up money. Or they're setting these people that are in the know up to try and survive very well when the big crash occurs. MY guess is its a bit of both. YOu play ball with us and you'll survive well. While the rest of the rabble will suffer greatly. NIce way to run a world.

But let Obama try to give a little pittance back (as in it started out as our hard earned money in the first place) to the wage slaves, and they are so well-trained that they chirp and flutter about the Stimulus...inflationary...bad...welfare...socialism.
