Top 10 reasons bankers say why they won't spend $600 billion bailout on the workers

1. $600 billion is only enough for about 600 jobs at the going rate for investment banker CEOs. That’s just a drop in the bucket.

2.Even if we cut our pay by 50 percent, that still creates only 1,200 jobs.

3. There are only so many openings for butlers, housekeepers and chauffeurs.

4. We can only build so many luxury hotels for ourselves.

5. Why produce more stuff when we already have much more stuff than we could possibly use?

6. Why hire workers to make more stuff when they can’t afford to buy the stuff they make? There’s no profit in that, so what’s the point?

7.The problem really is China, Iran, Brazil, India, Pakistan, Greenland, Japan, Germany, Gilligan’s Island and other countries.

8. Other countries just don’t seem to do what we tell them to do any more. For some reason, they seem to think they have rights too.

9. Good thing our working class doesn’t think that way ... .we hope.

10.So all this job talk is waaaaaaay overrated.
