Claire McCaskill Disses Wall St. Idiots

I'm proud to say that I, like McCaskill, am from the Show-Me State (Missouri.) Like my man Cuba Gooding Jr. once said, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" It turns out that these same big wig victims - which almost seems paradoxical - who WE the taxpayer bailed out have spent at least $18,000,000,000 (numerical to show profoundness [$18b]) on BONUSES!!! BONUSES!!! How rude, I might add. This is totally ridiculous.

What's funny is that there was a reporter on CNBC - a supposed authentic report of economic matters - who had the audacity to kindly note that people don't realize that "most of these bonuses are the bulk of what they are paid." Lets run with this: if there were 100,000 recipients of this $18 Billion, they would each be paid $180,000. 100,000 is the size of a moderately sized CITY and I highly doubt that there are that many of them - let's try a couple hundred. If we averaged this number out, each of these CEO's would be making $9,000,000 A PIECE. The fact that these idiots would cry wolf then scheme the system is just as genius as it is stupid, which is the unfortunate part.

Claire McCaskill was being generous in my opinion $400K is a LOT. It's what our President will make per year. These men should be tried in court. Punk bastards.
