A $200.000 plus Christmas Bonus for those who work on Wall Street as per one of the t.v. station's
4 o'clock market report! A $200,000 plus Christmas/Holiday/Thanksgiving whatever bonus for people on Wall Street ... while the nation dies and is ripped off by the Bush Administration ... while gas jumps to exhorbitant prices, while the nation just recedes into, "it was once a nation where people could go from rags to riches" as it now turns into a nation where "riches are turning into rags" for many in the middle class ... where people worry about health care ... elder care ... child care ... education ... jobs (?) are there any jobs left here in these U.S.A.? Any jobs other than the ones being done by the immigrantes who get paid nothing for doing the jobs corporations don't want to pay enough dough and health coverage for?

Bush immorality is flowing all over this land!

the bush** admin wants to turn our social security money over to.

3. You kidding? That's probably less than 10 percent of what they expected to get
before the subprime shit hit the fan.

4. It's also an average...
So, there are folks making TONS more than $200,000 and a LOT MORE making less...for instance I used to work at a place that had 12 employees and four owners. Total Chrismas bonuses were $800,000 (!!!!). The 12 employees shared $3000 (my share was $150 since "I hadn't worked a full year yet), and the four owners split the other $797,000. So, the average may have been $50,000, but the reality is that a VERY few made anything off of this.
