Barney Frank on Religion and Taxing Executive Pay

Because he can … and because he’s been thinking about it since 2006. From CBS’ Face The Nation. By the way I am posting this because “I worry.”

Video two is Barney Frank likening corporate retention bonuses to “extortion” because executives are threatening to leave if they aren’t paid (which is not what is happening) As one chat room member pointed out … “what would Frank consider a strike by labor unions?”. Good question.

The last bite is just to show you what a looser Frank is … can’t get out without taking a shot a religion. And oh yeah … it’s Bush’s fault. Schmuck!

    Well Barney is a great case for evolution and the decent of a money.

    Hey Barney, The God of Abraham, Issaac and Jacob said that it is true..(6000 years). I guess He's a liar too…. That's your choice Barn..to believe Him or Not. He's nevered lied so far as I ccould tell!

    They keep messing up his title!  They put D-Mass when it is supposed to be DuMbass.

    If we in MA didn't have so many other pol hacks to be ashamed of, I would be really ashamed of Frank, but we seem to breed them here.

    Is that still their battle cry.  Blame Bush.

    This is an Omnibus speech.  Limit exec. pay., trash religion and blame a bipartisan 50 yr spending binge on the other party – all in one shot.  All socialist and divisive.  It's getting old and enough to upset a saint.

    It seems every time Rep. Frank opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it.

    Is this guy for real. I mean Bar-Knee has no clue as to what he is talking about. It's not four thousand years it's six thousand. Let's get it RIGHT. If he wants to denounce religion that is his choice. God still loves him.
