Kucinich Furious About Merrill Lynch 3.7 Billion Bonuses

submitted by ObsidianStorm

Merrill Lynch payed out 3.7 billion in "performance bonuses" immediately prior to the taxpayer bailout in December.

Ya, the AIG bonus thing wasn't to bad for me. I understand paying out bonus's to people who really did go a good job for the company...IE high sales or great leadership (have to remember that AIG is a huge company with lots of different parts). But HUGE bonus's for the higher ups who ran the company into the ground seems ridiculous.

I fear Kucinich may be going down the same road Lieberman went down when Lieberman became a neocon. I agree the bonuses are a terrible waste, and I'm sure our current Administration won't let that stand, but this kind of fear-mongering leads to public dissonance.

We need unity and agreement in our economic crisis. We need to put our differences aside and give our leader the unrestrictive, indubitable support necessary to do what's best for us.

Get out your pitchforks and torches!
