FDR. It's been a while, but we desperately need to talk. PT 2

rucchi over at the rucchi show posted the entry that is below the other day. It was deleted. Lately, there have been posts all over the blogosphere about google deleting their posts with no notification why they did it. when google deletes any post they need to send you a notification why they do it and give you a chance to argue your case why it should not be deleted. I am re-posting the original post below as an experiment...

FDR. It's been a while, but we desperately need to talk.
from the rucchi show by therucchishow

(I never want this to be a political blog and it won't be. There are very few things that make me irrate, but this next thing is one of them)

So let me get this straight.

Part of the new stimulus bill seeks to recover executive bonuses(exceeding $100,000) paid out last year using the initial bail-out money. Okay...sounds good right?

well...

according to this 'economy saving' stimulus bill, any executive bonus exceeding $100,000 has to be paid back within 4 months OR they will face an excise tax of 35% on any portion of the bonus above the $100,000 limit.

wait a minute...huh?


What asshole idiot would actually give back all of the free bonus money when he/she is now legally allowed to keep 65% of it?


Congress you passed a bill saying that "Yes you greedy corporate fuckers need to give every last dime of that bonus money back to the taxpayers within 4 months or else you'll have to pay 35% of it back!"


thank you?
