Why Are We Wasting Our Energy on the Bonuses?

you said "I cannot fathom the logic behind doing a witch hunt for the bonus recipients. "

quite simply, it diverts attention away from the failures of Congress and plays into Obama's redistribution of wealth agenda. It sets up bankers, investment bankers, hedge fund managers, and all the other Wall Street scalawags as the evil criminals who are responsible for this so called economic mess. (not the worse economy since the great depression, but maybe since the failed Carter administration, but they won't talk about coward carter).

So next there will be more government regulation and fees/taxes, and they're going to control salaries of all wall street types, not just those who accept govt. money. If they can keep the people angry they can destroy wealth.

It's been clear Obama holds wall street in contempt and cares not if it fails.

Cramer's Mad Money - The Bernanke Basket (3/16/09)

so much outrage and hatred focused on AIG will now allow the Fed Government to further regulate and take over more control of all financial institutions. Mindless people are so easily manipulated, yet they don't show the same outrage over congressional pay raises or wasteful, corrupt govt. spending.

Goodbye capitalism, good bye freedom and democracy.
