House votes to clamp limits on bonuses

[The Poet]

Call me a fool (you would not be the first), but I really do not believe Congress is interested in going after the Christmas bonus of a Pizza Hut manager. It is the egregious excesses of the privileged 1% that has p!$$ed them off, and the nation as a whole. Why should my tax dollars (or yours, for that matter) "invested" in bailout funds go to finance some bastid's yatch? It happens, and you know it.

Again, just my , which is about my net worth also.

That's the governments fault, not the corporations. They should not have handed out that money in the first place. Bush and Obama both are at fault here by handing out our money to all of these corporations. Bailouts didn't work in the Great Depression, and they haven't now. Bush and Obama should have set up restrictions instead of handing out a blank check to companies to do as they wish. And now the gov't blames their mistakes on greed.
