Limbaugh: "Pay czar" Feinberg is "pay Nazi," "these are dark, dark days for our country"

I know! If they were willing to do that, you could eliminate mim wage, and most of the unions clout to boot. But then these rich bastards would actually have to PRODUCE.

So it'll never happen.

Can anyone justify why someone should make 3 times what someone else will make in their entire career, EVERY YEAR?!

I wonder if the lefties in Hollywood would go along with that, or George Soros, the Kennedy's , John Kerry, Al Gore , Nancy Pelosi etc. You know all the people that are very liberal once they have their fortunes safely tucked away. Tax em, the motto of people like Soros and the Kennedy's, whose fortunes are safe in offshore tax havens.

The bonuses of uaw?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a freak of nature - the united auto workers labor union?? That is the bonuses we should be looking into.

Check this out -

"Merrill Lynch arranged for payment of billions in bonuses in what appeared to be 'special timing'. These bonuses totaling 3.6 billion were one-third of the money they received from the feds' TARP bailout."

Yes, that was tax money going towards the bailout going immediately towards 3.6 billion in bonuses for CEOs in merrill lynch. One may ponder how a financial institution on the verge of collapse who lost billions in a single year could use 1/3rd of their bailout on bonuses. Simple, they just did it immediately before they were absorbed by bank of america and merrill was then free to partake in the 45 billion in TARP that BOA received. Bank of America were not much less greedy paying out 3.3 billion in bonuses. AIG's doled out 165 million in bonuses which seems like chump change now and pales in comparison. Luckly merrill was smart and covered it up so dolts like the caller don't actually know any of this.

Citigroup originally gave out 5.3 BILLION in bonuses after losing 19 billion and sinking like a brick. For The following year under intense government scrutiny citi decided rather than give out gigantic bonuses they would just give out more gigantic salaries. This bank forced government to buy 1/3rd because they were in such terrible condition but not bad enough to give out over 5 billion apparently. JP morgan and sachs both repayed their bailout money but also gave out billions. 200 employees received at least 3 million each and almost 3000 employees received 1 million each in the two companies as a bonus. Rush is such a joke and such a phony. He is giving the opportunity to address a ridiculously corrupt issue of corporate greed and control over gov't and what does he do when he can actually finally say something useful? He shies from the issue of course. What a quack!!!!!

i ALSO am really annoyed that Rush flipped the issue with such ease without even addressing the real problem that he was dancing around tirelessly. His caller was asking about bailout funding bonuses and Rush took that and run with it. First, he brings up GM and chrysler which lets remember actually make a product to support the US economy rather than just buying and selling money and had nothing to do with the bailout and are not known to have doled out huge bonuses to employees. Then, he brings up a labor union who also had NOTHING to do with the bailout or bonuses and provide work to almost 500,000 American auto workers. Then, he says AIG isnt even the point and mocks the major issue. Then, he claims our tax dollars did not pay for bonuses which is completely false - brings up the deficit. All of a sudden AIG either is "the little people" or deserve it and who the democrats support. In all that garbage and nonsense he completely avoids the question which just happens to be a huge controversy and corporate snub and hits on unions composed of American workers, obama and the American auto industry which if the government let slide, would have resulted in catastrophic unemployment for American workers. He also somehow defends AIG, belittles the actual problem, mocks the caller, takes the onus and blame completely off of banks and wall street and I think he even claims that the dems side with AIG but Im not sure. This is conservative rhetoric these days.

Yes, in fact I expect dark times to come about 5:51 PST today.

No but you will try and make it one, won't you.

One heck of a sandtrap!

Which reminds me, if Obama is a Muslim/Arab/towelhead, wouldn't that make him a 'sand n-gg-r'? (Anyone else remember that term?)

I hate the message, but these things are often placed by actual supporters, in order to further marginalize the opposition, which they don't need any help in doing. I'm certainly not saying this was a "planted" racial epithet, but interesting that the damage was done where a "typical white person" might find recreation.

You are such an intellectual, it's no wonder the highly intelligent folks here like you so much.
