Seriously? How about the "Job Creators" actually create some jobs instead of hording all the wealth.
"While most Americans aren’t expecting their incomes to rise with the cost of living in the near future, more than 60 percent of Wall Street professionals say they anticipate their bonuses will be higher or the same as the bonus they earned in 2010, according to a recent survey.
Sixty-two percent of Wall Street workers said they’re expecting a bonus that’s in line with last year’s or higher, according to a survey from eFinancialCareers.com. And while still a firm majority, that’s down from last year, when 71 percent of survey respondents said they expected the same or higher bonus than what they received in 2009." -Huffpost
....WTF
Also, I just want to say that people who work hard to get the top deserve bonuses... when other people are not starving on the street and protesting in 1000 cities.
I have no problem with people making a ton of money at their job. that's great. the problem is when corporations and special interests groups use all that money to buy politicians in order to pass legislation that represents their interests alone regardless as to what's in the best interest of the rest of the 99% of this country. Oh and trust me these corporations and interest groups have no allegiance to any specific political party!
Think about it, the root of every problem we face as a country regardless as to political beliefs boils down to who's willing to pay the most money to see their agenda done. So until we fix this system of legalized BRIBERY also known as lobbying this country will never ever be the place we dreamed that it could be.
Oh and if you don't believe me, ask yourself when was the last time you tracked down your congressman or senator in the capital between meetings and offered up a large sum of money in order to see a piece of legislation passed that best interested you?
