certainly seem to make a good income, wouldn't you agree? Earlier this week there was a report that the chief executive of Blackstone Group made $702,440,573.00 in salary & stock options in 2008! That's $2.7 MILLION per day, based on a 5 day work-week. If you divide $702 MILLION by 260 days you'll get $2.7 MILLION, correct? (5 day work-week x 52 weeks = 260 days.) So he earned a little over $337,000.00 PER HOUR in 2008 based on a typical 8 hour day, right? That's pretty good money, isn't it?
It's interesting that he was seen- "strolling through the Four Seasons Hotel in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia" last year right around the time OIL was at its all-time high in the USA, huh? Remember when gasoline was over $4 a gallon in the USA last summer? It's also interesting that a Chinese Investment Company with about $200 BILLION decided to invest a lot of money with Blackstone Group, isn't it? If you 'Google' this- CHINA INVESTMENT AN OPEN BOOK, you can watch the '60 Minutes' segment which confirms this. To read that quote about him "strolling through the Four Seasons Hotel", simply 'Google' this- MONEY TRAIL LEADS TO THE MIDDLE EAST, and read the entire article from the Boston Globe last year.
It's also interesting that OIL was being "MANIPULATED" last year, but many people in the USA are UNAWARE of it, correct? You can 'Google' this- GOVERNMENT UNCOVERS OIL PRICE MANIPULATION, and read the article, if you'd like.
If you 'Google' this- DID SPECULATION FUEL OIL PRICE SWINGS, you can watch that '60 Minutes' segment. It exposed some Investment Banks, like- Goldman Sachs & Morgan Stanley, didn't it? The CEO of Goldman Sachs made $42.9 MILLION in fiscal 2008. 'Google' this- GOLDMAN CEOS PAY PACKAGE DECLINED WITHOUT BONUS, and read it. He only made $165,000.00 per day. (That's still not too bad, huh?)
It's also interesting that- Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bear Stearns, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, & others, were exposed for allegedly taking out- 'SECRET LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES' on their current & former employees, without their knowledge, & then collecting the benefits when these people DIED, huh?
You can 'Google' this- BANK OF AMERICA COMPLAINTS SECRET LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES, and read the article. A Texas law firm seems to be involved in some type of a law suit, right?
I guess that these bank executives need a lot of money in order to pay-off their 'Black American Express Cards' each month, wouldn't you agree? Only the super-wealthy have these cards because you have to be worth MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars to get one from American Express. You can't apply for one. They're given to a select group of people. My sister's husband has one. He's a CEO. She said that they're- "treated like royalty" when they check into hotels all over the world.
It's too bad that innocent Americans seem to be the ones suffering from all the things that the BANKS & the BANKERS did in the last several years, huh? If you really think about it, the BANKERS are the ones who made all of those ARM's (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) & 'Interest Only Mortgages' available to the masses of people in America, right? It didn't really work out too well, did it? But at least the executives at these BANKS are still making their MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars in compensation, right?
*I wonder if these BANKERS realize how lucky they are to have had the American people come to their rescue when the $700 BILLION 'TARP' was passed & signed by President Bush, and then much of that money (TAXPAYER'S money) was injected into the large Publicly Held banks that they operate? You can 'Google' this- INSIDE THE MELTDOWN, and watch that 'Frontline' documentary and see Henry Paulson, the former Treasury secretary, spend $125 BILLION of TAXPAYER'S money in ONE DAY! He spent it by handing it over to the large Publicly Held banks, like- Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase.......... & others, correct?
I like watching 'Frontline' documentaries & other documentaries that are educational. Here are some of my favorites that you can 'Google' & watch for free on the web-
THE ASCENT OF MONEY PBS
INSIDE THE MELTDOWN
FRONTLINE BREAKING THE BANK
FRONTLINE THE MADOFF AFFAIR
AMERICA: FREEDOM TO FASCISM
ENDGAME
THE OBAMA DECEPTION
BUSH'S WAR
9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH
*If I had to grade all of them I'd give everyone of them an A, except for the 1st one. I'd give that one an A+
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
