From the Economist: The rich tax themselves to stay rich. Interesting.
Buttonwood tackles the issue of banker bonuses. As does Richard Murphy.
I am very bitter about the finance industry. In college, I thought that I would lose my friends to their significant others. But it looks like I've lost many of them to banks instead...boo. When people ask my friend if she has a boyfriend her response is, "Yes. His name is Deutsche Bank." Sad.
In a gchat conversation today:
----: we better getting bonuses this year or else i legit have mcd's hrly wages
Haha.
Will post answers to Crossword #4 on Friday when I put up a new crossword!
Extra: Great visualization of income inequality in NYC here.

I agree completely with you, Buttonwood, and Murphy. The people we know in banking should receive bonuses--they work long hard hours. Obviously their bonuses will be taxed, which is a much simpler and more constitutional way for the government to draw blood for the "indescretions" of the banks. Hopefully the bonuses will be handed out. Too bad I can't say the same for my dad--the VA aka the government is stingy with bonuses this year.
ReplyDeleteLove the NYC thing. Kind of shocking, too.
