Children and Wall Street CEOs may be offended.

Yeah, I know, I said I was taking a break, and I am! I am going to the airport in 30minutes!!!!

Yesterday, President Obama said he would cap the salaries of companies that take the bailout to $500,000. Yes, a half of a million dollars.

Hell, that’s reasonable to me. Then the "financial experts" jumped in. One said that $500,000 was "draconian". WTF? Seriously WHAT THE FUCK?

What planet do these people live in? The average salary of the American worker is $25,000. The average salary of the American family is closer to $54,000. And they think 10-20 times that is draconian? Is their job really that important that they get so much more than oh, TEACHERS? Or more important than POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS? ooh! Wait, I’ve got it! They are FAR more important than the people who move the goods they buy, the TRUCKERS and TRAIN ENGINEERS of the world. Or the people who BUILD THE ROADS that they have people drive their cars on (which some are BUILT BY AMERICANS EVEN IF THE MAKE IS NOT AMERICAN).

Seriously, this pisses me off. America is about living the American Dream. To be comfortable in life. To work for a better future for your kids, to be happy and healthy. But when these guys DESTROY our economy, and the world’s economy (so sorry Iceland, you didn’t need to have ANY money), and then claim they need more than $500,000 a year? Yeah, I have NO SYMPATHY for them. NONE WHATSOEVER!

Okay- I needed to get that out. 

Back to my regularly scheduled break.

BTW- my sister’s department kept 9 people. She is one of the 9! Woot! I feel bad for all of the others who did lose their jobs.
