But you don't get it do you... if the government GAVE it to them, then yes it is their money now.
Let's say I give you a gift of $100. Can I come back later and say, oh you can't use that for beer, going out to eat, to buy anything frivolous, or blaw blaw blaw... ? Of course not.
The CEO of a corporation is put there to make the business work, and keep it afloat. Now let's say a corporation for any reason successfully suckers the government into give it billions. From our perspective, that sucks. But to the share holders, investors, even employees, that is great! That CEO deserves a bonus! He saved our jobs, our stocks, our investments, our 401K!! He's done a great job!
What's my point? My point is that the problem has nothing to do with CEO bonuses. The problem is with government hand outs to begin with! A bunch of people here are all bent because CEOs are doing what CEOs do, instead of getting bent because your government just tossed billions of dollars it doesn't have, out onto Wall St.
Let's focus on the problem, and not the symptom. This whole thing is a perfect diversion from the real problem. Why are we not focusing on the fact that government idiots blowing billions of our tax payer money, hasn't helped the economy one bit?
No no, let's ignore that massive issue and focus on the insignificant CEO bonuses that are a symptom of the prior problem. Back to the cartoon...
Do you get it now?
