Duhhhhhh, stoping payouts to shareholders of failed business practice stocks, I think that's called, "Common Sense", something you, Max, lack bigtime. Why should shareholders of tanked banking stocks get one fucking dime, you puts your money down and takes your chances. I have a real hard time feeling sorry for rich shareholders that aren't going to get their dividends.

"Banks have traditionally paid hefty dividends. In the years before the onset of the subprime mortgage crisis, payouts by Bank of America Corp., for instance, yielded about 3 percent to 4 percent of the company’s stock price and grew steadily. "


This statement means that for years investors have been receiving above average return for their investments. Instead of the banks stashing some of that money away for a rainy day, they doled it all out as paychecks. That is a bad business decision, now isn't it? It's raining like a motherfucker and they gave all their umbrellas away.

"Obama -- not unreasonably -- will order the Treasury Department to limit dividends paid by commercial banks and investment banks that receive “exceptional assistance” from the government to “de minimis amounts.” "

This means, that when the banks turn a profit, they aren't allowed to hand every cent of it over to investors, they're being FORCED to save some back for a rainy day. It's the same thing as if a person on welfare went out and bought a new hummer, wouldn't you be asking WTF?


I've seen the house one of the bank presidents in my town lives in, he's filed for bankruptcy twice in the last 25 years. He could move to a house that is 1/3 of the size of the one he's in now and still have more space than I have, but he can't do that, no way. That means he's dining at the trough and then having his debt written off. No wonder the banks are in trouble.

How is Obama behind the stock market tanking again? I read the article and all I saw was that the fat cats are going to have to deal with being a little less fat. I doubt any bank investor is going to end up homeless.

Miss, this entire argument is fails to address the primary problem with the banks. The problem isn't that the banks are handing out profits. The problem is that they are allowed to continue operating under the Fractional Reserve System (which is fraudulent) instead of being forced to operate under a Full Reserve System (which would be honest.)

Whatever system they are operating under seems to only be working for them. It is time for those investors and management to pay the piper. They lost billions, then they got billions, our tax money. Why should investors and managers be paid bonuses and dividends with our tax money. Shithead managers that caused the failures should be sent packing and investors should eat shit untill those banks pay back every penny of taxpayer money. That is the facts of the situation. I'm sure though, the solution will be much different and all those managers will be kept and given bonuses and investors will get reduced dividends, the rich rule and this is a rich mans game.

First they got millions in salary and bonus checks, then they claimed to have lost billions (how much money would they have stashed away if their salary and bonus checks were cut back by half), now they're getting millions of our tax dollars, while raising the price of the fees we have to pay.

Check by phone fee $8.00 before bailout $20.00 after bailout. Thanks for shafting me twice big banking system. :finger:

Hey folks, in case you haven't heard, the fed is going to drop cash on us from helicopters if it gets really bad. That way we can just buy our way back to prosperity.

It's time for politicians to get paid minimum wage. Let's take away their expense accounts and stop paying them when they leave office. Bush is still going to get paid 200 thousand dollars per year until he dies, and then if his wife lives, she gets the paycheck. I dare say that with a welfare system in place, they can live without that check. If they are broke, they can apply for foodstamps, good enough for you and I, good enough for them.

Did the op even reference the right link or read the article? Whoever wrote that was clearly for it and it all makes sense, contrary to you posting it. If you want to claim otherwise you should have chosen a different spin from a different writer.

Bush is far from being Broke. He has millions if not billions in a trust account set up for him years ago. his daddy is a billionaire you know. Him and Laura were on Larry King acting like poor little them, all they had was this measley trust fund and they didn't even know how much was in it. I guess they will barely get by with those millions, plus the measly 200K per year. That 200K will probably barely pay "W"s bar and Cocaine bill.

I know they are far from being broke which makes his continued salary a mystery with the current budget conditions. I wonder how much money could be saved by cutting off the pay of ex presidents, their spouses, and ex congress. I bet it would make a dent anyway.......

There was a time I read your posts with interest, that time has passed. You are just another jerkwater right wing hypocrite, slamming everything possible. I can't get passed the first senternce in your ramblings without wanting to kick you right dead in your ass. You are a selfish selfcentered monoglot, writing in the language of hate.
