Yahoo Shine: You want our (taxpayer) money? Then limit executive pay. Now.

Rise and Shine, Yahoo!

This morning's debut of Shine seems to suggest that Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) is expanding its focus from emails to females. The struggling portal's attempt at launching a sex-specific site -- this one targeting women between 25 and 54 -- appears solid, with an appealing wave of initial content.

It is easy to make decision with someone elses money, that is what they did for longest time. Now that they are in problem the taxpayer's money is the first one to count on. When the banks and insurance company were reporting staggering profit, did the taxpayers see the benefit No because the tax bracket for those company our less than average American.
What happen to land of oppourtunity??????????

I don't really understand the bailout. Why are we giving money to these companies? If this financial crisis is a result of the mortgage crisis why don't we give the money to the home buyers? I don't understand how the government is going to get a return on this investment. The bailout is not thought out. Who is going to provide the oversight? I just don't see how this is going to benefit the american people. If the government estimates 700 billion then it is going to cost the american people at least twice that amount. This is a bad debt that our children are going to pay. Why are we bailing out companies that were paying million dollar bonuses a few years ago. All of the CEO's and senior management team members are going to leave with golden parachutes.

The President has said he doesn't want to "punish" anyone, presumably for poor performance. Apparently it is only on Wall Street that you get paid criminally high salaries for screwing up. Everyone else that screws up gets fired. Perhaps that is just the American way. Mayby if you make enough money for yourself, they pay you to go away. That's how Carly Fiorina wound up with all the free time on her hands to help out the McCain campaign.

700 billion dollars is what they are asking for to bail out these companies...economy is down, becasue people have no money to spend...instead of giving the 700 billion dollars to bail out the companies..why not give it to the people, similar to the stimulus, but really a large amount of money...if you stop and think about it, the reason the economy is down is becasue people have no money to spend, give the people the money..then they would pay their mortgages, debts, open small business. if you bail out the failing companies the only ones who will get compensated are the executives of the company.
