A Tax On Hollywood?

Quote from gkishot:

Cheer up, TARP money was repaid by all banks. It's time to move on.

You seriously think that the TARP payback makes things OK? That kind of headline may work for the ignorant masses, but you and I both know better. TARP was a sideshow compared to everything else they got.

Again.... 23 Trillion in loan backstops, and you bring up 700 billion?

please....

So whom did the media conspire with to hide the truth from ignorant masses: government or banks or both?

I don't think it's a grand conspiracy as much as a combination of financial illiteracy on the part of the masses and simplistic headlines (and financial illiteracy) on the part of the media.

You're a perfect example. You said:

"Cheer up, TARP money was repaid by all banks. It's time to move on."

That conveniently ignores the AIG bailout pass-through payments, the loan guarantees, the fed purchases, preferential tax breaks etc....

Even you have to agree, the banks got more than just TARP, correct?

Loan guarantees? They don't have to make any loans unless government wants them to. No loan for you.
 
Salaries and compensation of Hollywood elites will now come under the juristiction and scrutiny of Kenneth Feinburg, the pay
czar! After all, if the Banking Industry is subject to this oversight.
Why not Hollywood. Equal Protection demands this!!!!!!!!
 
No one has ever suffered fiancially because their movie collection lost value.
Suffering through insufferable movies,yes, of course. There should be arbitration re: getting your ticket refunded. A fund set up and paid into by all the actors, producers and directors, lmao.
 
Guess who these hollywood morons supported for the presidential election? they should bear the brunt of any tax increase, tax them 75% of their income, they fully deserve it.
