Fuck you and your bonus

I am furious that to get a bailout it had to be SUGGESTED to the bigwigs of the three major auto dealers in the United States that perhaps, maybe a good idea, why don't you just for this year, GIVE UP YOUR MILLION DOLLAR BONUSES?????? Fuck them - let them bail themselves out, and AIG and all the banks. I drove foreign cars in the past and quite frankly think they perform at much higher standards than the domestic one I drive now. I have a mattress - I don't need a checking account. It seems that everybody is now thinking that a handout is for them and they shouldn't have to make a single sacrifice. I understand we have to protect the jobs and the economy of our country, but come on now...The rich really have been getting richer for a long time now and the middle class has been bending over each and every time and taking one for the team. Enough is enough. According to many, Social Security is all but going to be extinct when I get to retirement age, so why should I have to contribute anymore - any family member I have that is old enough to collect is dead - my work is done. Isn't there a way to declare yourself an emancipated citizen and not pay taxes anymore. I understand that I wouldn't be able to collect unemployment, social security, etc...but it's not like I use it anyway. I believe you have to give up your Social Security number, but so what - I don't need another credit card - I will rip open my mattress the next time I need a new foreign car and pay cash.

The agency I work for announced we wouldn't be getting a Christmas bonus this year because, while we are in the black, we can't count on making up the bonus in next years' revenue. That's a lesson all these other companies should pay attention to. My bonus would have been a percent of a percent of what theirs would have been.

Have a great day - I am now going to work, like I have every other day for the past 23 years so that I can make enough money to pay my taxes to bail everyone and their brother out.

Did Al Franken win?
