Do you agree with the Bonus that was paid to Goldman Sachs Chief Executive in 2007?
Goldman Sachs Group Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein got a $67.9 million bonus for 2007.
The GREED of the USA is making me sick.
There is only a handful of people in the USA that makes this in their lifetime much less as a bonus.
Look at the stock, if you purchased GS in early 2007 held it until December of 2007 you would have the same our maybe even less money then when you started. Yet they pay a 68 million dollar Bonus to the Chief Executive.
Maybe it's just me, but I really wouldn't want to take the roller coaster ride the stock took over the year to end up right back where I started.Then read that a 68 million dollar bones was being pay to anyone other then the stockholders. How many other Bonus' where paid to the people under him?
How many people do you know that will see one million dollars in their life?
I believe the USA will soon be Rich/Poor within the next 50 years. No middle class people due to the high demand of money.
The USA is becoming a very Greedy place to live.
We would cure Cancer if it didn't make so much money and it's an easy way to kill off the population.

You need some perspective !! LOL
It's a numbers game you play.
Lets say I'm holding 1 million shares of GS at a price tag of $210 million and I get a dividend of $1.40 a share or $1.4 million for my $210 million investment. Is that fair?

I could understand that kind of bonus if the stocks were drastically higher, but to finish almost the same!!! Wish I got that kind of bonus.

If the company and shareholders all agree that he worked hard and earned the money, then good for him.

Being a CEO of a global company is one of the toughest jobs on the planet.

If you want to make a million dollars, go for it. What's stopping you?

One must wonder why someone needs that kind of bonus. I didn't see what his normal salary is, and I know it's quite sufficient for him to live elegantly without a bonus.
Wonder what he would have gotten if the stock had done well? Let's don't think about that one.
At least he's paid some dues over the years, unlike these athletes straight out of college who make mega salaries and don't have a clue how to manage money or act like decent people.
The greed just isn't at the top of corporate America - people aren't going to sell their GS stock if it means taking a loss just to make a point.
I don't think it will take 50 years though for the middle class to die out.

I agree that we are a greedy society and this will be our downfall. I'm going to ask my own greed related question, check it out.

You need some perspective. Goldman sachs netted about 10 billion last year. 68 million is about .0068% of that.

Lets say you were CEO of a small company and the company netted 500,000 dollars this year. If your bonus was on the exact same scale, you would be paid 3,400 in bonus money. Does that seem fair?
