Between High Frequency Trading sucking out billions from the equity markets before everyone else (with no corresponding value-add) and hedge funds reliant on schemes like this, it'll be a looong time before the markets are seen as safe for 98% of investors.
Way to screw the economy, guys. Thanks! #crime
@Cynical Media Bitch: Glad I'm not alone. I feel like I've been so stupid and naive for so long. Thinking people were actually...honest (for the most part). Crazy me :-) #crime
On or about August 22, 2008 at approximately 11:00 a.m., BUD FOX called WEIRD GUY IN SOME NEWS ROOM on JACKSON-STEINEM Landline D. When WEIRD GUY picked up his line, BUD FOX said "Blue Horseshoe Loves Big Blue" . . . #crime
You remember when Spiderman couldn't fly anymore because flying was so Superman but he tried anyway and fell from on high and his drop was retarded in more ways than one but this one by a canopy over a door on the ground floor?
@Valerie Flame: Is it so? There were famous spots for a waitperson in a classy joint for which the prospects would pay the management for the positions because tips were astronomical. So salary costs for these positions were in the negative numbers.
Perhaps sometime next year the big newsies will pay for the right to brag that Apple advertises with them.
I'm curious whether Finn's tax obligation is actually $100 million in tax, or $100 million total after the completely effed way in which the IRS tallies their penalties, interest and compounded f*ck-you-in-the-bum accounting of taxpayer wrongdoing.
Suicide? These Repugs really take it seriously when they say they don't want the gub'ment spending their money, don't they?
@PaisleyPajamas: What does it matter (it does include fines, by the way)? So he dodged $50 mil or $25 mil or $70 mil? It's still him sucking money out of the country that he profited from, while the rest of us on ADP's automatic take-out-your-taxes payroll somehow pay 100% of our obligation.
@FormerEnglishMajor: My interest was actually operating in the opposite direction than what you suggest: If he owed $100 million in unpaid tax ONLY, I grow pale and slightly nauseous to think what sort of penalties and interest this would accrue. If he were assessed those amounts in the same fashion that Joe Working Class is, his actually "amount owed" the IRS could be as high as a billion. Yeah, bullet in the head would seem like the appropriate answer in this case.
Even better, the IRS put liens on his four (grown) sons' trust funds, because they suspect the trusts haven't been playing fair ball either. Selling your name out for a few extra mil... damn, really - can it possibly be worth it? Hard to imagine ANY of the people deciding what to do this week even having to debate this. UBS is giving up the names of its clients to US authorities in a few months, according to the settlement. Seems like a big losing bet.
And all 4 sons went to Harvard Law - where Daddy donated tens of millions. Of money that was owed so, say, we could have a couple more childcare programs or a healthcare plan or God forbid, a lower deficit. How I hate tax cheats.
These are the SAME mofos who claim working class people dodge their taxes, or don't work at all and are a drain on the government? It boggles the mind the pathological level of a sense of entitlement these f*ckers have enjoyed.

Way to go Garmin! Socialislamofascists.
FWIW, having a GPS (Garmin, in my case) at the ready has made my driving life a lot less anxiety prone. #modernandawkward
