Wall Street executives should be held criminally responsble and not those lower in ranking for their specific companies. If nothing else it would  put the fear of God in them until their lawyers can find a new loop hole.

Wall Street Pay reaches $135 Billion

February 2nd, 2011 No comments

If we taxed them all at 100% we could almost cover 1/10th of our annual deficit.….that’s almost 10% ……..we just need about 10 more Wall Streets to tax at 100% and we could almost eliminate the DEFICIT……almost.

 

$1.5 Trillion minus $135 Billion only leaves a $1.365 Trillion DEFICIT to cover….who else can we tax at 100%…..we’ll get there eventually.  Actually I think the problem is that we are SPENDING way too much……..but that’s me…..because we don’t have near enough rich people to tax……to get anywhere close to closing our budget gap.

In 2010, total compensation and benefits at publicly traded Wall Street banks and securities firms hit a record of $135 billion, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal. The total is up 5.7% from $128 billion in combined compensation and benefits by the same companies in 2009.

The Feds are economic idiots!

       Nothing will improve without job growth, to get job growth we need to raise our GDP, stop out-sourcing, and bring back made in the USA, Wall Street is in a bubble, and politicians need to stop using Wall Street and Banks as indicators of the economy. It’s just not real. Look, the banks are all better Wall Street is rising, yet people still have not regained the homes, jobs, or money they lost in the last 5-7 years. 

 

      Politicians keep saying, “We need to cut spending.” How about you stop bailing out every jerk off who bankrupts a Nationally Traded Company, then allow himself to give him a self a fat bonus for doing so. I keep screaming, where are the **bleep** lawyers. The young guns, who want to make a name and a reputation for themselves. Indict a couple of these Wall Street **bleep** clowns, on Fraud, racketeering, laundering, mis-leading the public, or any other statute you can find. File a couple class actions against those who negligently and erroneously gave loans to those whom they knew were ill-equipped to pay them back.

 

    Lobby your Congress person. Change the bankruptcy laws to pre-bush era rules. Let the Market experience true risk. I know we are hated world wide, but do we need to spend that much on “Defense.” Better safe then sorry, but talk about Mac Aurthors Military Industrial Complex. What is it… We spend like 80% on defense. How about taking 15% of that to R and D, to create the new thing that will get us off oil. Hell, put it under Defense, as they are most definitely related.

 

When will people make sense in Washington?

What Good Is Wall Street?

These are the people that caused the Republicans to suspend the 2008 presidential campaign so everybody could return to Washington and   authorize an emergency 1 trillion dollar government bailout for.

 

” many people i n the City and on Wall Street are the financial equivalent of slumlords or toll collectors in pin-striped suits. If they retired to their beach houses en masse, the rest of the economy would be fine, or perhaps even healthier.

Since 1980, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people employed in finance, broadly defined, has shot up from roughly five million to more than seven and a half million. During the same period, the profitability of the financial sector has increased greatly relative to other industries. Think of all the profits produced by businesses operating in the U.S. as a cake. Twenty-five years ago, the slice taken by financial firms was about a seventh of the whole. Last year, it was more than a quarter. (In 2006, at the peak of the boom, it was about a third.) In”
