[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just table scraps, for example, the combined total for Disney is probably less than the bonus of the CEO. And we are supposed to be grateful? F it.[/quote]

You sound like Nancy Pelosi.  Or, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.  A little out of touch, perhaps?[/quote]
but ^PP has a point.  People are going gaga over $1000 one time bonus while the uber rich get a 6% tax cut for eight years.   It is kind of humiliating.[/quote]
You think an hourly worker is "humiliated" when he gets a $1000 bonus? You are so out of touch with the working man.[/quote]
I think it's humiliating for people to be celebrating for scraps being thrown their way while the uber rich feast.

If you were at the dinner table, and the person next to you got the choice cut of meat while you gut the burnt end bits, and the host said, "oh, aren't we generous for giving you food" , wouldn't you feel humiliated?  I suppose if you were poor and a beggar you'd be glad for any scraps.  That's the image I have.  The Rs/Trump see the middle class as beggars who should be grateful for the tiniest morsels.[/quote]
