Piracy in America


OK, we know there are pirates in Somalia, taking ships and holding them for ransom. Now we find right here in America, corporate piracy. Its called retention bonuses. AIG paid out a bunch, but some left anyway, like rats deserting a sinking ship. Todays news reveals Fannie Mae, another financially stressed outfit and recipient of government monies, is paying of retention bonuses. Corporate AMERICA,in its ever increasing greed has discovered a new way to steal our money. Oh, we need to pay them bonuses to keep the talent. Now that salary caps have been suggested, these pirates have come up with another scheme. It does not matter that our nation is being torn asunder by greed, because if America fails, these guys will go abroad, using their Swiss bank account money. It even seems they have gotten to some officials in the Treasury Dept. Bribes and payoffs, I reckon. This greed, this piracy, is like a cancer attacking our country. Now what did they do in the old days to effectively control piracy. Hmm burning at the stake did the trick and yeah i got the matches.
