Cramer's Mad Money - 10 Stocks to Watch (3/23/09)

"Obama also intends to tax hedge fund manager's wages as ordinary income, whereas in the past these funds were transformed into capital gains, which were taxed at a lower rate. Obama's plans transcend hedge funds, and include pay reforms which would level the playing field, and may make the gigantic wages of executives at companies like AIG, Citigroup, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a thing of the past. Cramer agrees with these reforms,....."

This removes the incentive to work hard and to be paid based on performance. Like a sales commission, if you're only on salary, why try to excel. I can't believe we've reached the point where we let the Government dictate salary levels. Change is here, BHO socialism.

amen. the obama strategy is to keep the people stirred up and angry to justify more govt. regulation and more control over our lives. the bonuses are no big deal, just consider it part of the bigger wasteful "stimulus spending" program. now watch our incredibly stupid congressional people try to tax the bonuses or pass some law to control compensation. As simple minded as it sounds, the solution is to "vote all the bast**ds out"!

Cramer's Stop Trading! What Do Cramer and Rush Limbaugh Have in Common? (1/29/09)

this is not Obama's Stimulus Bill, it is Nancy Pelosi's Spending Bill. President Obama promised the American people it would not contain ear-marks--it does. President Obama promised it would put people to work quickly--it does not.
