Just like there is between Obama and Goldman-Sachs. It was a mighty big contributor to Obama - no surprise there, right? (http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638) Uh, yeah... I would not be surprised in the least if there WAS a connection between them.

Having beenn reflecting on Van Dyk's op-ed, and his observation that BO has delegated core issues to these "toids" and knowing BO is absolutly politically tone deaf, I am worried that the "bonuses" will be at the cost of a functioning government. This trend is not a positive sign for the advancement of Democratic principles. It appears to be an attempt to compartmentalize and isolate inter-agency co-ordination, something that Mr. Johnson has pointed out recently as a serious concern and a informed citizen I agree with.

Wonder if the MO and BO get hit with taxes too? If so will she be able to buy 500 $ tennis shoes and carry a purse that cost either 900 $ or 6000$ depending on the story. You think Nance and Harry probably have all their money tied up in Goldman Sachs ? When Nance gets through taxing the rich, they will wish they were us.

They all should be in the same pot as we the people are. Bet they'd have a change of heart on all these expensive costs if their pocket was being picked.

Now AIG is once again saying they're going to be giving out these millions of dollars bonuses. No need to follow the money, we all know where it leads back. What we need to do is stand up together, all sides, and say, "No More!". Where are the Tea Parties? Everyone on both sides needs to come out of their homes and join one. They can't be ignored when they become the voice of millions. I’m sick of this whole thing. Now AIG is once again saying they’re going to be giving out these millions of dollars bonuses.

I'd like to see salary averaged according to specific jobs, titles or divisions so to have a better idea of who is getting the lions share of that money. I know the Admin Assistants and Security Guards aren't making $770,000 a year. I feel sorry for those type of workers because you know the public just hears $700,000 plus average and figures everyone who works for them is earning that kind of money so therefore to be scorned and threatened as being greedy. As they say, follow the money and you will find who's pulling the strings. I think the executives are earning so much in pay and bonuses it’s skewering the average across the board.

Obama is campaigning for Corzine, a former GS CEO. Why has no one reported that GS and Wall Street own Obama? They don't care about their taxes going up.

The guy in charge of this whole par-tay actually tried to justify it by saying that the entertainment was free...even though the cost of equipment ran $70,000. Great post RRRA, as the blogger stated above, I had to walkaway after every paragraph for fear that my blood pressure would explode. I saw this on Greta and I just about blew a fuse.

No wonder social security's going belly up. Here's an idea: why not simply throw in the towel on social security and stop collecting the tax on workers entering the workforce? After all, NY City workers pay no social security tax as it is. It's time to consign this greatest of all Ponzi schemes to the dustbin of history.
