Think about it, it's habit forming and addictive. Those who have money are consumed with getting more money. If you put them in a cage, some people would choose money over food. Just like chimps in drug studies.

Money should be reclassified as a drug with no medicinal value.

never heard so much rubbish!

your telling me that if you got locked up and was starving to death someone comes in and puts on a table steak and chips and $100 you will take $100 over the stake and chips?

What are you talking about?

"Those who have money are consumed with getting more money"

I think those who have less are more concerned with getting what the other guy has.

Your comments sound like the Democrat mantra. Just because someone works harder, longer, and smarter than others and gets ahead does not make them greedy.
I think greed is when people believe they are owed something - and want what the other guy has, but without earning it.

he who has nothing truly appreciates everything.....

I think you are confused by human greed and addiction?. i.e> someone is locked up in a room and every day they stay in that room some one will come along with food and $100 for every day they go with out food they get the $100 this is called greed its not addiction. once the person starts to feel hungry they will take the food over money. = none addictive

So have we learned nothing from the bailouts? These people are getting death threats in the mail and are still trying to justify the raping of their companies and crying for their million dollar bonus'.


Greed is an addiction to MONEY.

I personally wouldn't choose money over food, but I bet there are plenty of them out there.

I was and still am against these bailouts, but everyone involved is not equally culpable for what has happened.

Do you know the situation of everyone who recieved a bonus? Do you know for a fact that every one of them fucked up and should not be paid?

I don't think a lot of workers deserve what they are paid - so can I threaten the kid at the McDonalds drive up? Can I not pay the part of my bill that represents his salary?

Everything is not black and white - many who recieved bonuses as part of their compensation probably earned the pay - just like the rest of us.
Those who caused this mess should not benifit from it, but those who just did their job deserve to be paid for their work - same as you.

If the companies can't pay their day to day bills, no bonus should be paid to anyone. It's as simple as that. If you don't have the money in the first place then you shouldn't be promising it out.

What could anyone do that deserves a million dollar bonus when the company paying said bonus is broke?

The excuse it, they're retention bonus'. Well TFB, if those people don't get their bonus, what are they going to do? Are they going to quit? Well let them, their are plenty of people who could step in for less money and possibly balance the books.

If you put someone like Bernie Madoff in a room and told him he would have a choice between cash and food, but if he chooses cash, he gets to keep the cash, do you think he'll choose food? Even after say a month? I bet food wouldn't be his only choice, he'd only choose food every third or fourth time.

I wonder if I could get a research grant to study this?

Again - you know nothing about the individual employees who got a bonus.

If your boss goes broke does that mean he should not pay you or the other employees for the work you have done?
The company is broke - so you don't deserve to be paid right?

I think your jealousy of others shows greed on your part.
