Big Wall Street Bonuses Are Back, Bro!

110509bonus1.jpg Good news all around today! The unemployed will probably get another five months to choose a barrel-and-suspenders combo that doesn't make their butts look big, and a new study shows that Wall Street holiday bonuses are set to return to pre-recession levels. So everybody's happy, and there's no need for any pitchfork riots or bricks through Park Avenue windows. Go Yankees!

Consultant Johnson Associates' annual report, which the Times describes as "a closely watched signpost for the bonus season," projects that financial industry payouts will be up 40 percent from 2008, when Wall Street handed out nearly $20 billion in cash awards and billions more in incentives to NYC employees. But just remember people, fiscal restraint is still called for, and let's not get carried away with excessive holiday gratuities for the help.

One problem... After you've "killed the rich", there will just be more to go. They're the richest of the non-killed rich. So on and so forth.

Assclown.

Just proves that the brokers still paid, even when things suck.

As someone on the Atlantic site already mentioned, most retarded article ever written, by far. I'll let you try to connect the dots on the deduction I'm making about you.

Like I really care what an anonymous idgit on the WWW thinks. If you had an ounce of decency, you would have been at the Veteran's Day parade today instead of sucking on the Yankees dick.
