Most of it--I wish it were investigated a little longer before just throwing my money away

I know it isn't easy to run a huge corporation but some of these CEO's and other executives need to learn to sacrifice some things...just like those of us on the end of the totem pole. I don't like the idea of taxpayers helping big wigs make more money by bailing them out if they are going to take some of that money for themselves. We have to work OUR butts off to earn money and don't get money handed over to us so why should they? This is not the Titanic where the 3rd class folks get to sink while the rich get first dibs at the lifeboats!
Ok..I'll get off my soapbox now.
