Call it socialist all you want but people are pissed about these fat cat CEOs. Wall Street is to blame for putting Dems into office and Marxism creeping into all walks of life.
Check the links below. Barney did get money from some of the CEO’s.
CEOs being brow beated in the hearing and their contributions: Lloyd Blankfein, CEO and Chairman, Goldman Sachs & Co.; James Dimon, CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Robert Kelly, Chairman and CEO, Bank of New York Mellon; Ken Lewis, Chairman and CEO, Bank of America; Ronald Logue, Chairman and CEO, State Street Corporation; John Mack, Chairman and CEO, Morgan Stanley; Vikram Pandit, CEO, Citigroup; John Stumpf, President and CEO, Wells Fargo & Co. 2128 RHOB.

HS. This was done by Greespan and the bankers you are in love with working together to inflate assets until the bubble burst.
I don’t exactly see any heroes on that list.
Not many but it shows that it’s about 50/50 split between donations to Dems and Reps and some of those who were grilling the CEO’s got donations from them. “Protection Money”
It is pretty safe to say that they get elected because they are a reflection of their various constituencies.
Why is it that every time I see Barney Frank I want to puke?
