Wall Street weenies whine about congressional amendments to stimulus package
Seems like Congress listened to their constituents for once.

1. Isn't it lovely to read that they think they are sooo wonderful and deserving
of million dollar sallaries.. shit brains.. that's what happens when we want more than our standard 3% raise that doesn't cover the 7% additional amt that is now being taken out for insurance... dumb shits.

2. I keep wondering where the hell they think these "top talents" are going to flee?
Who has the money to pay them these exorbitant salaries and bonuses that they claim to expect and deserve?
Are the hedge funds suddenly doing better? Are the banks in other countries better off?

It seems like an empty threat to me, even if you don't doubt their supposed genius in the first place. Aren't these the same people
who got us into this mess? :crazy:
