Giuliani in Defense of Wall Street Fat Cats

I think if a company comes begging for governmental bailouts NO bonuses ought to be one of the prices they pay. I do not believe that will bankrupt New York or any other city in which these executives spend their money.

Well, I would not defend them nor fell sorry, I would throw them to the lions. Sorry, but enough is enough.

Yes, typical Republican, explaining the trickle down effect, to the little people.  Does anyone still fall for it?

You have to stand in awe at the stupidity of Rudy's statements. As if a $100,000,000 bonus is the only way a Wall Street crook will be able to support the NYC economy. A $5,000,0000 yacht and $500,000 Mercedes spread the wealth to very few and these guys have a nasty habit of sticking their money in untaxable offshore accounts. Republicans really are in love with the idea of giving everything to the rich. Unreal.

I guess we all know which side his Paycheque is bankrolled

Wow, Capitalism at its worst and fat cats eat at the restaurants to celebrate their windfalls before stashing them away in off shore Banks that of course are not geared to worthless American securities. Of course these guys had to protect themselves in a rat eat rat world of high fraudulent stocks and share market place. Obama place these terrorist under lock and key freeze their assets and use the money to bail out the banks.

Its not words that are need its actions  

yeah it would be that a-hole in defense of them. 

Guiliani should be locked up for implicit connection to doing 911, and killing fellow New Yorkers in his quest for money. He and Bloomberg are both involved in the coverup of 911.

Rev.

I was just going to have a go at this arrogant toss-head when I read his name but then thought to have a read what he is saying and that just made me laugh.
What a load of nonsense.. Cutting bonuses will result in loss in jobs. Because these fat cats cant splash their money? Although the reality is that these same shameless directors laid off thousands and in the same instance split bonuses among themselves.
These bonuses have been always at a cost of the ordinary employees and ridiculous  prices to the ordinary consumers.

These same bonuses paid out to one fat cat can feed so many people, pay for a larger number of workforce who are just struggling to make their ends meet. For every fat cat’s bonus just imagine how many families will be able to pay for their living.. In the end the low wage income public will be spending this money in America. It won’t be stashed away in offshore accounts but used to pay bills and food. They won’t be jetting off to Dubai or on a Caribbean cruise for crying out loud.

I feel like tearing my hair on his logic on this self obsessed moron. Whose only claim to fame is that he was Mayer during the 9/11 tragedy and famously refused to accept donation from Saudis and is Jewish (no offence to Jews).

When he got kicked out of the presidential race from the republicans I remember an interview of an American mother who was a republican supporter who said about Giuliani that the way he works is either it is his way or the highway.. And we don’t agree and associate with that.

 It reminds me of a local saying in the subcontinent about old times when a young princess goes to her mom and says why there is noise and shouting outside the castle, mom replied it’s the people they cant afford wheat for food.  Then why don’t they buy rice instead mom? Note rice has been known to be far more expensive than wheat. The joke/ saying stops here and leaves you to wonder that how stupidity never discriminates time, color religion and location.

Mr Giuliani virtually turned around New York using a variety of programs and was re-elected in a democratic city. His claim to fame is much more thoroughly grounded in reality than just happening to be mayor at the time of 9/11.

It is true that not getting bonuses will affect the people who offer goods services that Wall Street elite used to spend their money on.

But, Mr Giuliani, a mayor with a great record and one who supports civil unions for gays, as well as other positions counter to the usual republican logic, doesn't seem to get it.

You get BONUSES because your company made money and your salary as compensation doesn't do you justice.

They are not automatically part of the pay package, and the most disgusting part of this in the recent history of Wall Street is how the bonuses were paid out at the end of 2007 and then, OOPS!- hey, we are about to go bankrupt! Could we get some cash?

We own those entities and we ought to sue the banks and get all the money back.
