Some more fof your ideas..
› "Why don't we (the taxpayer) get access to our own taxes when we are in a financial crisis? When we can't pay the mortgage, or the rent, or credit card debt, or car repayments, or heating, or medical bills, or clothing, or food...Why should these executives receive such obscene bonuses and paychecks when their own employess are struggling to get by each month."
› "Publish a list of companies owned by Goldman Sachs on the internet, papers where ever a lot of the public would see it. With the list let people know the disparity in wages between the front line worker and upper management. Encourage people to boycott the listed companies. I would also let the upper management at Goldman Sachs know this was being done."
› "The Goldman Sachs Turkey award! The government gave our tax-payer money away to the ungrateful greed mongers without accountability. That's fowl. Your average "Jane" taxpayer, like me, gets a free turkey at Thanksgiving aka bonus."
› "This is obvious. Goldman Sachs needs to write a 10 billion dollar check to the treasury. With interest. Now."
› "Return the bailout money to a fund that could be accessed by unions to fund organizing drives at Burger King and other GS holdings."
› "As penance for their abuse of their employees, the CEO's at Goldman Sachs and franchise owners should have to be "on call" when anyone calls in sick and have to work for minimum wage for long hours. It should be court ordered like community service."
› "They should be forced to give the bonuses to BG employees as shares of Goldman Sachs, taken -- of course -- from the stock option plans of the executives."
› "Give 'em three squares (all from the King's joint) and a bed roll for the Salvation Army nearest Wall Street. Then let 'em try to make it on minimum wage for a year, then send 'em to the nearest state prison (not a federal lockup) and no early release for stealing from the workers of this country. Be wise, organize!"
› "Goldman Sachs should immediately give all BK employees a severance package to live on comfortably while burger king is converted into the first ever totally organic fast food restaurant offering healthy delicious burgers both meaty and veggie."

› "Realistically I think they should also have to do public service announcements and appear before Congress to explain themselves. "
› "They stole money sure as if they held up banks without masks on. They were caught. They should be procecuted and punished like any of us would of been."
› "I want all the clueless, greedy Goldman-Sachs employees who took "bonus" money (or whatever you are calling it this week) to put every cent of that money into a college fund for children of wage earners who were cheated out of overtime pay or working for wages that keep them below poverty level."
› "Pass a maximum wage law that states any CEO in America can only make 10 times the amount of the lowest paid worker beneath them."
› "Why not return the bailout in the form of stimulus checks to all families making less than 50k a year and indiv at 30k or below a year."
› "How about using that money to help start the fund for universal health care?"
› "Goldman should be made part of a workfare program wherein they take Burger King employees, as well as everyone else who is unemployed or underemployed, and teach them the skills necessary to work on Wall Street."
› "Every BK employee should receive scholarship money for themselves or their children."
› "Force Goldman Sachs to proceed with profit sharing. We need to start seeing precedents to CHANGE."
› "I want all the bonuses which were paid out to executives put in a fund to GIVE AWAY foreclosed homes to disabled Iraq vets and the widows of this unjustified war. Kind of a Homestead Act for the new year. While two wrongs have yet to make any rights, this action on the part of greedy rich people would be a good way to begin healing this sick country that I think Americans of all persuasions could accept as a positive."
