Kenyan dictator Barack Hussien Obama has attempted to decree that bailed-out banks reduce their executive pay to less than 500,000 dollars a year. His anti-life agenda is made clear by the New York Times:
And has anyone done the math on how much money is needed to survive? I mean, is 500,000 per year really a living wage? The New York Times proves $500,000 is NOT a living wage:
And that's before you spend anything! Private school is $32,000 per student; nanny is $45,000 per year; mortgage and co-op maintenance fee are each around $100,000 per year on the Upper East Side. That's all your money right there, and you haven't even paid the driver, garage, personal trainer, ball-gown maker, restaurant tab, etc. etc. etc.
And I guess Kenyan Dictator Hussien Obama wants bankers to live like exiled hermits, with no social life. Or, on the other hand, for them to be naked:
“Going to those parties,” said David Patrick Columbia, who is the editor of the New York Social Diary (newyorksocialdiary.com), “a woman can spend $10,000 or $15,000 on a dress. If she goes to three or four of those a year, she’s not going to wear the same dress.”
Total cost for three gowns: about $35,000.
Sex And The City inspiration Candace Bushnell points out that this will emasculate our poor banker CEOs:
Ms. Bass, whose husband is an accountant with many high-end clients, said she spends about $425 every 10 days on groceries for her family.
Annual cost: about $15,000.
More? Restaurants. Dry cleaning. Each Brooks Brothers suit costs about $1,000. If you run a bank, you can’t look like a slob.
The total costs here, which do not include a lot of things, like kennels for the dog when the family is away, summer camp, spas...and frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity, are $790,750, which would require about a $1.6-million salary to compensate for taxes. Give or take a few score thousand of dollars.
Does this money buy a chief executive stockholders might prize, a well-to-do man with a certain sureness of stride, something that might be lost if the executive were crowding onto the PATH train every morning at Journal Square, his newspaper splayed against the back of a stranger’s head?
And to think that Obama claims to have outlawed torture! At very least that's cruel and unusual punishment right there!
Friends, I urge you, I pray in the name of poor crying baby Jesus, donate to Trickle-Down Charities L.L.C. NOW!
Barbara Corcoran, who started a Manhattan real estate firm ...looked back to the early 1990s, when she crossed the $500,000-a-year threshold..
"The other life difference," she said, "was it made it affordable to go to extreme measures to have a child." She signed up for in vitro fertilization treatments that cost $12,000 each. After seven tries, she said, "finally it worked. Without that kind of money, I don't think I'd have my first child."
Choose life. Choose to spend your tax dollars on $500,000+ salaries for failed bankers. Or choose death. $500,000 salaries for bankers would literally mean death. These salary-cap advocates are part of the culture of death."The other life difference," she said, "was it made it affordable to go to extreme measures to have a child." She signed up for in vitro fertilization treatments that cost $12,000 each. After seven tries, she said, "finally it worked. Without that kind of money, I don't think I'd have my first child."
And has anyone done the math on how much money is needed to survive? I mean, is 500,000 per year really a living wage? The New York Times proves $500,000 is NOT a living wage:
- -$138,000 federal tax
- -$31,000 Social Security
- -$7,000 Medicare
- -$35,000 state taxes
- -$19,000 city taxes
- = $270,000

“People inherently understand that if they are going to get ahead in whatever corporate culture they are involved in, they need to take on the appurtenances of what defines that culture.”
And we wouldn't want to undermine the winning culture of Wall Street. That will ruin our economy! And by tha way, people need to eat to live:Ms. Bass, whose husband is an accountant with many high-end clients, said she spends about $425 every 10 days on groceries for her family.
