links: Wall Street rage

[mindstalk]

* The rage of the privileged. Wall Street financiers who'd be unemployed sans government bailout cry at the reduction of their bonuses and looks at whether they've been paid for wrecking the economy.

* Growing unbelievers in America
* Conservatives out to repeal civil union benefits in Washington state. This is why marriage is needed: "separate but equal" can be attacked separately.
* The NDP and economic management in British Columbia

Actually, they are anti-privileged. Laws were passed specifically to take their bonsues away. Also, most of those who received bonuses received them in LIEU of salaries for that year.

How would you feel if your employers asked you to forego your salary for a year, promised you a big bonus instead, and then the government imposed a special 90% tax on your bonus?

And how were these managers personally responsible for wrecking the economy? Sounds to me as if you want to shoot some messengers here.
