Either stick ‘em where the sun don’t shine, or:
Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democratic Senator facing a serious Republican challenge, is calling for a vote on a bill she introduced that would impose a new tax on Wall Street bonuses. The tax, which would go toward paying back bail out money, would be applied to any bonus amount above $400,000 received by employees of banks that received more than $5 billion in U.S. government assistance. Boxer said on the floor of the Senate this morning, “that I believe reflects fairness and justice and the America way.” It is co-sponsored by Democrat James Webb of Virginia, who has tended to take a more centrist approach toward fiscal policy.
Your choice!
I thought bonuses themselves represented “fairness, justice, and the American way”
I have a special bonus for her blanus

Raise them salaries. Tell these clowns “bonus” is a misnomer. IBD monkeys won’t even make minimum without bonus. Stupid retards. My model is not balancing, time to take help from the state-school business major. I am useless Ivy history major. Go Kansas State! Go UBS!
I thought fairness was when they gov’t said “take this money under these conditions” and the banks did, and repaid all the money, plus interest, in accordance with those pre-determined conditions.
Whatever bullsh*t, nonsensical Wall Street “regulation” these morons are able to enact (if any) will take about 5 seconds to game, so its no use even paying attention to.
“Liberals” or “democrats” missing from tags? I wonder why…
Barbara places her net worth somewhere between $1.1 million and $5.3 million.

Surely, she doesn’t NEED that much, and it obviously must have been illicitly obtained.
Since politician’s housing policies dating back to the 80s led to the recession, it is only fair that a 50% fiscal responsiblity fee be placed on her net worth.
Perhaps she ought to focus on her fucked up state, rather than trying (poorly) to indiscriminately soak all TARP bank staff – Aren’t federal taxes due to rise in any case? brilliant raise taxes in a recession – C U Next Tuesday
The druries the druries! O happy day!
How about a tax on congresspeople for any “fact-finding” trips they take with taxpayer money and on which they bring their families?
How about we put a bill on the ballot nation wide that a Senator cannnot make more than the average salary for their state? And the same for members of congress for their congressional district.
How about voters in CA turning this ignorant bitch out? Fucking commie
Putting the box in Boxer.
How about this tax on these tyrants:
Rope.
Lamppost.
Politician.
Some assembly required.
Nice
Good.
Let this greedy swine pay for the damage they’ve done to the economy.
My modest proposal is that these piggies should be killed, hung on hooks and properly roasted – this is what they should fear, not a tax increase….
Typical Democrat Communist Bitch…..its our money not the governments
