Use $20 Billion Wall Street Bonuses to Fund America
Given the current economic crisis, news of $20 Billion in bonuses to Wall Street executives is not only exasperating and incredibly outrageous; it is a clear sign of a deeper systemic problem in our economy and society. The core problem that needs to be addressed is not the amount of bailout funds, nor the programs that receive priority funding - important, yes, but not the core. No economic stimulus package will work until two things are provided for, CONFIDENCE and TRUST.
Now is the time to redirect ill gotten gains and corrupted economic and social practices into the public good. YES WE CAN!
