Non-silent thread for Wall Street to DONATE their BONUSES to Haiti

[tridim]

Sorry Nikki, I can't remain silent on this issue.

It's obvious they should donate to Haiti, and I bet they will. It will be a token amount, probably in the hundred- million range. A number that will seem large on first glance, but in reality will be a tiny percentage of their overall taxpayer funded profits.

It'll be our job to make sure the media doesn't spin this into more than it is.

1. Every last penny of every Gold Mansacks "bonus" (stolen taxpayer money)

would be a good start. Though I would prefer seizing every asset of that wretched corporation. If they can do it to pot dealers, why not to those whose crimes are far worse?

2. To hell with donating...expropriate the bonuses if they won't give them up voluntarily.

4. Hey, do what you need to do. Wouldn't it be cool

to have 10 threads like this going at once on GD? ;)

"Let's take the opportunity of this great tragedy to, um, ignore those Haitian proles and instead revive our campaign to cut taxes even further on America's wealthiest republicons. You know, the Reagan-Bush Konservative Kompassion gambit. We republicon fatcats just love that. Smirk."

9. They should be made to go do humanitarian work in Haiti for at least a year.

11. Haven't the Haitian people suffered enough?

Why punish them with having to tolerate the presence of those parasites?

10. It is much better to give, obviously, in this instance,

if one was actually saddled with a conscience.

Also, the public opprobrium from doing nothing might also convince some to do the right thing.

Plus, there are all kinds of emotional rewards to boot.
