They are so worth it
by digby
The other day I wrote about the fact that Wall Streeters were lamenting that their bonuses only rose 2% this past year. Tough times.
Mother Jones puts it into proper perspective:
Yes, yes, I know that one Wall Street trader is worth a million minimum wage workers in this world. Unlike the contribution of say, the nannies who raise their kids or the servants who feed them and clean their home, their contribution to this world is worth every penny and more of that 28.5 billion dollars. Indeed, they actually get a lot more. Remember, that's just their bonus. And I think we can assume their money is making a lot of money too.
Why? Because they're woooorth it.
