Headlines all over Bloomberg that UK has just announced a 50% tax on bonuses above £25k (about $40k) for anyone that works at a bank.
Note, this is not 50% replacing the top rate income tax of 40% + 10% national insurance, this is in addition. ie $100k bonus, less 40% income tax, less 10% NI (although there is an upper threshold for NI) = $50k – 50% = $25k.
Don’t think my friends that work at banks are going to be too happy…
+++++++++++++
YES, chicken, HOORAY!!
The spineless democrats in the US don’t have the guts to do this. Obama is nothing more than a Bush-lite. The washing-wall street cabal continues to shaft the american people. Let the second american revolution begin now!! Throw these clowns out of office!
Kashi’s Cardboard Cereal has 6 grams of sugar. That must be a misprint! I think regular Cheerios has 2 grams.
Okay folks, pray for me. I’m heading to that miserable part of town…downtown; To deal with highfalutin bourgeois townhouse owners and get trampled in the beautiful shopping mecca of Atlantic Center.
…uh, late to work today. Apparently some guy donning an outfit from Where The Wild Things Are was causing a train delay with his furry stank.
just read through the “projects” thread from yesterday…
and I thought the main class warfare action was here on the OT!
dibs,
-where are we on global warming anyway? The midwest has this monster snowstorm on their ass and the major newspapers are boycotting the “global warming scientist e-mails” because they were supposedly hacked (some are saying by the Russians).
and on a related note, do you think the Cap and Trade bond issues(presumably through goldman sachs)be the next bubble?

And while I’m gone please feel free to discuss the economy and politics, cause when i get back that better end 🙂
>>Hooray! Drinks on DIBS!

im ashamed (slightly) of my comments in the projects thread yesterday. 🙁

Legion, I don’t do bonds but it’s a fair guess that it will be!!!!!
We’re still buying large cap pharma and hospital stocks.
There’s no hospital ETF but there is FSHCX.

“and the mentally ill don’t care what I talk about.” — what do you mean by that? everyone on OT cares deeply about anything you have to say.
