Arrogant ain’t in it! Where’s the outrage?

Pardon my Christmas spirit, but these bastards are despicable – DESPICABLE! I say screw you – go under – but first, give us every damned penny back or go to jail! I’m talking about those fat-cat jerks on Wall Street that are making the jerks running the car companies and flying their private jets to [...]

Bah! Humbug! This makes me angry – very angry!

Banks that are getting taxpayer bailouts awarded their top executives nearly $1.6 billion in salaries, bonuses, and other benefits last year, an Associated Press analysis reveals.
