Yea you are such a free thinker and functioning on such a higher intellectual level that it makes us feeble-minded people wonder why you still post here.

This.

Of course. It was a rhetorical question. Ol' Scruffy said executive compensation didn't have frick all to do with share buybacks, which just so happen to play a heavy hand in why so many of these companies are now requesting bailouts.

Quote where Scruffy said that.

That’s not my understanding. I think you’re shitting the bed a little early

Corporate bailouts without any rules would be bullshite. If Big corporations are begging for public money there should be rules around how they use it.

All of the rules people are bitching about ITT Trump already said wouldn't be allowed including stock buyback and raising of executive bonuses.

And yet people will look at you like you’re nuts if you’re disillusioned and don’t bother voting.

People always say that voting independent is throwing your vote away but now I realize voting for the same old bullshite is throwing your vote away.

Most people vote D or R out of fear of what the other side might do but neither side is happy with their politicians. Let's face it, none of the politicians give a shite about their constituents.

You mean corporations who will have their income completely shut off? Small businesses who just opened up? Businesses operating on slim margins? Yeah, frick them. Congrats on your landscaping savings.

I don’t want to bail out your poorly run low margin business. I’m sorry that you can’t survive. Reorganize and try again later.

But, to my knowledge, that rigidity came into question in the final bill that ballooned the corporate bail out money and gave treasury secretary so much discretion.

Plus if a bunch of people did it and the independent party got votes they get increased funding in election cycles.

No one disagrees on this FYI and Trump said he is against it being used for this.

This isn't what the Dems are proposing. They want to take someone that is already a high earner and cap them moving forward. They also want you to have race and gender restrictions on the board of directors even if they aren't the most qualified for the position.

You are missing the plot. The legislation that was voted on was wholly Republican-written with no restrictions on the corporate bailout money. That is stupid and as you note Trump is against that. The Dems countered with a bunch of stuff, as you do in a negotiation, knowing they won't ever get all they ask for. The key contention is no restrictions of use of the bailouts and more help for the health care industry which is getting hammered financially especially small hospitals. Each side moves to the middle and viola it passes. Neither side can or should get everything they want and focusing on the far left demands (or far right) is missing the plot.
