  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.

  How can you say that? Don't you know that these are the most important people in America. At least that's the reason I heard for giving them billions of dollars.
  
  So yes, all animals are purported to be equal. But it has been written since the creation of the Fed that pigs are more equal than others. And this is just a manifestation of that.
  
  I bet you thought Animal Farm was a satire about communism.

  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.
