We all acknowledge the country's in a mess right now. Here's what some of the players in this fiasco recieved for ruining this country.

Kerry Killinger- 44 million
Alan Fishman- replaced Killinger, 19 million for 3 weeks of work
Stan O'Neal- 161 million
Charles Prince- 105 million
Angelo Mozilo- 56 million
Ken Thompson- 42 million
Richard Syrow- 16 million
James Cayne- 13 million
John Thain- 9 million
Dan Mudel- 8 million

These are the severance packages for people who couldn't do their fecking jobs. Grand total 473 million dollars.

Are people outta their @#$%^& MINDS! This country cannot support that kind of blatant greed. What do you or I get if we can't do our job? A pink slip, that's it.

Hopefully, someday in the future, folks will look back and see this as the beginning of the end for capitalism. It doesn't work, it hasn't worked and it can't work, get over it.

I've been saying this for years, time to come up with something else. Big business is bad business and if the events of the past couple weeks don't convince people of that, well....Castro is still holding out too.

In 2007, the top 1% took in 20% of the total income in this country. In 1980 that figure was 8%. The last time that figure was so grossly lopsided? 1928
1% taking 20% of the pie. That's about as assanine thing as I've ever heard. Unreal doesn't even begin to describe it.
