6. Am I reading that right?
If a corporation takes bailout, all executives couldn't take more than $500,000 max of whatever the company gets - not $500,000 per executive but for the whole bunch of them?

Glee. :)

9. you do know that this will probably just make some of those haves
Not ask for more money. Telling them they have to implement ceiling caps does absolutely ZERO for the unemployed schmuck who was cut by the companies feasting on tax money. :shrug:

8. And this was the response --
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3722354

Goldman Sachs wants to repay the money.

Suddenly they are flush enough to repay. Of course, the threat of a pay cap probably has some executives having to clean organic matter out of their shorts.

One question that should be asked -- HOW is Obama planning on implementing this? Is it going to be retroactive? Or are the big welfare queens going to suck it up and not ask for more, just because they've been told they cannot gift themselves from the top shelf if they do?

10. They were having a hissy fit about this on 700 Club this morning.
(I couldn't find the remote and suffered through the first 3 minutes.) Like this will affect the 700 Club viewers! It makes me sick how Robertson, et al., manipulate their followers.
:puke:
