80% On WallStreet Paid Bonuses (Thanks Taxpayers!) Unhappy w/Amount

Many bankers got the biggest bonus ever in 2008 because they're afraid they won't have the chance once the banks are nationalized. The money they got from gov went straight to bonuses. This is ridiculous but that's how things work.

Stop smoking crack, licking your own ass and thinking it's pussy. It may be mistaken for one by the vagrant you picked up for a quickie at your local interstate rest stop, but the rest of the world knows the difference.

Ummm, yeah. Great comeback.

You obviously have a good sense of humor.

(Is it tough to smell the sarcasm over your stinky worn out vag?)

Another stupid thread.

So in other words if a trader on Morgan Stanley's OTC options desk was super profitable-as is MS as a firm-then he shouldn't be comped? That's an issue for stockholders of MS to decide-not regulators let alone the media.

Hearing the media elite debate this topic is so friggin' hypocritical that I'm in stitches. Former overpriced market cap giants like the NYT and GE-parent of CNBC-have seen their share prices break as hard as investment banks. Brian Williams of NBC is the 2nd or 3rd highest paid employee at GE. Chris Mathews (4.8m) and Olberman (4mil) entertain less than a million viewers a night. And I'd LOVE to know how much NBC pays top producers of prime time programming. Yet the media is a WATCHDOG over the bonus pool of traders and staff at other publicly traded corporations.

A top agency trader at a million a year is a hell of a lot more valuable and harder to replace than a bunch of TelePrompter reading clowns who get a "tingle up their legs" at the empty rhetoric of some half ass Chicago lawyer turned Messiah.......

Hey, stupid threads pay the bills around here.:D
There certainly is enough hypocrisy to go around, but I don't think most people are referring to the average wall street schmuck. It wasn't some guy at the trading desk that screwed the pooch, it was the bug guns at the top.
What really chaps my ass is hearing the argument that big money must be paid to retain the so-called, best people. WHAT? It was the "best" people that made the decisions that broke the system. All these captains of industry are the ones that need to be booted out. What kind of bizzarro world do we live in that rewards them, and punishes the low level working stiff, whether that stiff be on wall street or main street.?
