AIG Exec Departures: What a Surprise!

No need to continue worshiping the Gods of the executive offices and offering sacrifices (bonuses) to them so they will take care of us. They have been proven a fraud .
The thousands of Non- executives who do not get the outrageous bonuses are very compentent and work very hard too. They are probably very grateful the company was spared by taxpayers and "glad to have their jobs" as the arrogant execs always tell them they should be. Their are plenty of them to fill the an vacancies left by the self-serving Executive thieves. And they will provide the competence needed without trying to hold us hostage for the bonuses.
Good riddance to those recipients of outrageous bonus who feel sorry for themselves. Too bad the underlings who carried them on their shoulders all these years can't afford a full page open letter in the newspaper.

Time To Ban CEOs and Senators from Derivatives Markets

What exactly is the benefit to our economy or society in general to have wealthy hedge fund owners, for example, inserting themselves as cost added middlemen in a business where they have no business? Creating a market for Oil? ....not hardly. This type of speculation is merely another tool for the wealthy, influential, insider-informed, few to take from the productive section of society while contributing nothing more than added costs to everyone else.
