A Day without Pay
There have been several stories about workers giving up a day's pay in order to save jobs of fellow workers. They didn't have to do this, they weren't "required" to do this by their employer - they recognized that these are tough times for all and were willing to help each other - even when it means losing a day's pay.

Wall Street were handed gazillions of dollars of our TAX money (it's our money as Bush and NOPE party has told us many times) - yet every day we read about bonuses or other extravagant spending by these fat cats. They whine that without the "bonus" they will be unable to retain "good people".

Where are the sacrifices by the Wall Streeters who greatly contributed to this mess?

.......just asking
