  This is actually a deficit reduction move......after all if any of these traders miss time from work they might only get $1 million bonus this year instead of $1.5 million......think of all the income tax the federal government will lose. If a couple of unemployed main street folks get sick it doesn't really matter since they are already unemployed.

  I'm sure that somewhere in the negotiations with the Government there is a clause that makes bonuses given to GS traders is tax exempt and free swine flu shots.

  That settles it! Obama is a neo-capitalist in the pocket of investment banks!
  
  No! Wait! Obama is a neo-Marxist who favors the little people!
  
  
  Hold on! Obama is really a Jeffersonian Kenyan authority grabber!

  I saw this as a news item somewhere and it really is outrageous! America is truelly a Plutocracy.
