Got the Nerve

[Redoverfarm]

With the economy in the shape that it is in the Post Master General is getting a $135,000 bonus.  Then almost in the same breath he is proposing a hike in postage and cutting back the delivery service to 5 days a week.  Is there something that I am missing to make sense out of this.  With benefits and the like it will be worth more than $850,000 a year.

Some of the greed that has been out of control since the beginning of time is being exposed. It's sad to see the way some people operate for self gain.
People sure do have a lot of nerve. $135,000 bonus and wanting to raise postage AGAIN as well as eliminate one day of mail deliveray. Ya. No one's going to have a problem with that. Unbelievable.

Isn't it odd that these rich a-holes are parading their greed right in front of our faces? I don't understand why has it become so obvious lately? Has it always been like this, or did we just not notice before?

America, America, God cleave his grace from thee,
And ignore his creed, to fill thy greed...

It's kinda catchy, don't you think?  Definitely more appropriate these days than the original version.

Fitting, Jens.

Thanks to modern technology such as the internet as well as fair and balanced news outlets, folks are now able to know what's really going. The greed has always been there. It's just becoming more exposed.
Transparancy is a good thing. It forces people to be accountable. Without it look what happens.
