Fact is, none of the bailed out institutions can afford to pay their staffs at ALL without the sweet, sweet government teat continuing to feed them.

If I agree to hire you to do my taxes for $1 million per hour, are you suddenly "worth" that much, since I have no way to actually pay you? I mean, you were promised that money, so that means you deserve it, right? And I'll never, ever be able to find someone to replace you if I no longer offer that same $1 million per hour package, right?
What the fuck are you going on about?

I clearly said, and even if I hadn't, the context if pretty fucking self evident; that you are worth whatever you can convince anybody to PAY YOU, paying is the actual event of exchanging wealth; if you enter into agreement with somebody who can't actually pay, you haven't convinced them to PAY YOU have you?

I'm glad we could have this ESL lesson today. I mean was that not completely obvious? Are you that much of a worthless cunt that you just arbitrarily come up with a completely off the wall example that is completely unrelated? Or are you just that stupid?

So which is it? Flat out stupid, or a demented cunt bitch?

I'm not arguing for any particular one person here; I'm arguing against the MORONIC idea that nobody is worth (insert arbitrary amount here). Anybody can be worth anything, period.

You're right, all that "created wealth" is really hurting us; that is why we are further along in every aspect of every human endeavor ever undertaken; those fat cats really screwed us. We could easily be living in the abject luxury the hard working people had under Ceausescu and PolPot, they sure showed those idiot investment bankers who was in charge.

Fucking spare me this "the government is their savior" bullshit; they are more culpable than any other entity in the world. What was the trigger of all of this? Bad mortage debt; who held the lions share of that debt, who took it on? The government, in the form of Freddy and Fannie. Why do you think there was so much bad debt? Because of the laws passed requiring Freddy and Fannie to take on an arbitrarily, artificial, and fixed amount of high risk debt to ensure that everybody got a "fair" chance.

I never wanted a bailout either, but when it comes to this "the taxpayers deserve a share" who exactly do you think the taxpayers are? How much money over the years has a company like AIG given to the government over the years? Who do you think actually pays the taxes in this country? When I get a financial stake in every stupid hick pumping out kids The same "evil rich people" that every worthless hillbilly cunt such as yourself is on a crusade after. AIG has now been given that money; so it can, should, and needs to operate as a fucking business, businesses need to pay their employees what the market demands if they want to keep their employees.

But hey, I'm sure every redneck fast food worker can do just as good of a job as the guy who actually has a brain, an education, and talent.
