Guilt Money

I tried to imagine how it must feel to be one of those Wall Street bankers who stand to make tens of millions in bonuses from bailout money after nearly bringing the world’s economy to its knees. I know I’d feel too guilty to take the money, so I could only speculate that these guys must have an honorable reason for not refusing their ill-gotten windfalls. I came up with this.

Dear Ed,
You are always on target. I’m so glad the Coloradoan is printing your political cartoon several times a week to counteract the meanness of Glenn McCoy.
Please keep up the fight and the good work,
Pieter Aukema.
“I know I’d feel too guilty to take the money,…”
Hence the reason you wouldn’t be in their position if you were in that profession, Ed.

I have to agree with Rusty on this one. These guys didn’t get to where they are by feeling guilty about anything. You have to notice that when the ship is going down, the higher ups are shoving money in each other’s pockets in order to get out with as much as they can.
As Gecko (Michael Douglas) says in “Wall St”, “greed is good”.
