CNBC: Wall Street can’t be run by people making under $250k a year. Riiiiight. ‘Cuz the MILLIONAIRES did such a good job with the Street. Riiiight.
According to Think Progress and the Huffington Post:
Um. NO.
And, to add insult to injury, CNBC Host Mark Haines states that you need Wall Streeters to get their millions in bonuses (even though they ran America into the ground), because:
It’s just like when the Allies were victorious over Nazi Germany in World War II, when we occupied the country, we left a lot of Nazis in place because they were the ones who made the trains run on time and the bureaucracy function properly, etc. And it was distasteful, but you needed them. And in fact, our experience in Iraq kind of demonstrates the wisdom of that, because in Iraq we replaced the Baathist bureaucrats and the result was chaos. Not to compare Wall Street to Iraq or Nazi Germany, but the point is you need people who know what they’re doing.
WHO ARE THESE IDIOTS
WHO WANT TO LET
THE INMATES RUN THE ASYLUM?
Seriously? OK, I can see the idea of keeping the bad guy in place because he gets things done right, I don’t agree with it but see the argument. But these guys didn’t get things done right, they screwed every single American!
