Wall Street is the Las Vegas Strip of New York.  They profit on other people's money and produce nothing except greed.  They may be necessary but I don't like bailing them out over their own greed.

The annual tax that NYC collects on all the Christmas bonuses earned by Wall Street traders is a "bail out" for the city's poor, not Wall Street.

Since this is still a free country, last time I checked, I'm entitled to my opinion and you are entitled to yours.  Capiche?

How is taxing one group of people a bail out for that same group?

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion's, but not their own facts.

Comprenez-vous?

Why not both?

Because "personalizing" facts recreates reality in order to align with one's own perception.

We're getting far afield of the OP.  So I'll let your last word stand with no comment.  We'll undoubtably carry on this discussion elsewhere.
