Uh, CEO takes large bank/insurance company/brokerage house and runs it into ground. Bank is deeply in the RED, there IS NO MONEY. CEO still gets paid? With WHAT? Pretty basic economics bushy, what, you expect the public to give free money to your buddies???

How about this? No pay restrictions, but a 99% tax on all compensation over $200K(?) for any firms accepting funds from the bailout… and tax their corporate profits at the same rate. Consider it a loan, at a nice credit rate for losers, what 25%, or maybe 29%.

Free market rules say these companies should be flushed like the toilets they are. What say you Bill O?

ALL Election records should be poured over after the election and all those who vote Neo-Con should be hunted and killed via the Helicopter Hunting Program of Palin.

Punitive measures.

Hmmm, where have I recently heard a definition from a Reichwing tool about punitive measures?

http://www.videosift.com/video/Antonin-Scalia-Torture-Is-Not-Cruel-and-Unusual-Punishment

Oh right, Scumlia talking about toturing a captve as not being punishment. Right, so the Fascists beleive that torturing a person they hold in a prison is NOT punitive, but making a CEO forego pay when their company looses BILLIONS of dollars and the people who have invested with them have lost their money.

THIS IS JUST THE CONTINUATION OF THE CRIME SYNICATE’S STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. UNFCUKING BELIEVABLE!!!

DEATH TO BUSH NOW!!!!!

Says the man who supports the death penalty for far less offenses…

The death penalty is for “them”.
Bush’s base; “the haves and the have mores” are above the law by divine right bestowed by the grace of their God, the corporate media/propaganda machine and the GOP.

Now is precisely the time to be punitive with those who have brought this catastrophe to the U. S. and world. They have nowhere to hide at this moment and it should be exploited to the fullest.
Arrogance again must learn humility.

1) Even if now weren’t the time for punishment, why should they walk away with rich rewards as bonuses for their performance ? So they feel they should be rewarded ?

2) Honest Judge, I *DID* rob the bank. But now is not the time for punishment but for healing. Group Hug everybody !

Having punitive measures would provide a disincentive for firms to participate, and that would make the program much less likely to succeed.

Good. If they don’t need it, good luck to ‘em and see them on their way. If they do need it, let the board fire their sorry a$$es, and if the board won’t do it, let the stockholders rise up in revolt and fire the board.

Cheers,

There you go, you 17%ers!
This is one of many atrocities that will go down as Bush’s legacy: No punishment for those criminals on “our side”!
You must be proud.
But, keep hounding on us the fact that a truly great president was impeached for a private manner involving fellatio in the oval office.
Because, that’s all you got!

Surely this has been translated wrong

Now Is Not The Time For ‘Punitive Measures’

Obviously, McCain means Now Is Not The Time For ‘Accountability’. Especially if it means holding a Republican accountable. Right?

Buck Fush! And that goes for his my way or the highway unconstitutional crap.

They aren’t telling the truth about the crisis now, but want a $700 billion blank check? Trust us? Sorry, it would take an 11th hour show of domestic force for that to happen. And that’s just what’s coming to America’s Northern Command.

The Army can help Bush prop up his Wall Street buds and their Brownshorts.

What the people of this country need is more guillotines. On wheels. Lots of them. I’m not saying we have to use them, just roll them around where out “leaders” can see them.

Has Bush and his pack of thieves ever lied to us? Do you have any reason to believe that these guys are competent? What have they been right about? The occupation in Iraq? Bin Laden? Health Care? The economy? Where have they ever told us something that was fact?

George Bush should be arrested and locked away with his brain and his evil doer veep.

Remember, this is the President who gave his lecture on excessive CEO compensation to a bunch of NYSE traders. Nary a CEO or Board member in the house…
