    He was before he got into finance.

    Jag isn't so bad. But it comes down to who your friends are.

    (I'm mostly just teasing anyways)
    To us, it is the BEAST.

        • I just read that John Kerry was also going to contribute 5% of his 180k or so government salary to join in solidarity with other government workers. This just keeps getting more hilarious.
          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          • HC, Kuci, and Jag are the three stooges. They suck up to their idol KH... who is a giant piece of human filth.

              What's hilarious about it?

                I think "Shemp" would be more appropriate.

Or go into lobbying back in your home state. Congress is ****ing lucrative, and you have staff who does all the goddamned work for you. 90+% of Congressmen (both Reps and Senators) have no ****ing idea of the full contents of the bills they nominally originate, let alone vote on.
                  Indeed. Those poor rich people.

                    First, at 180k or so a year, I don't think most government workers can identify with him.
                    Two, the guy is wealthy to begin with. His sacrifice will have absolutely no impact on his life style at all.
                    The same can't be said for the rest of the government workers that are being told to make the sacrifice.

                    When all of congress joins the fun, I'll take it a bit more seriously.

                      You think Kerry and others should just give away one hundred percent of their salary then? Would you do that?

                        No, I just think they shouldn't be making a big deal about it. If they did it privately I would give them their due, but doing it publicly is just a cheap PR event.
                        If they really wanted to show solidarity with the lesser government employees, they could just SIMPLY contribute to the effort for a better budget so the workers wouldn't have to take a cut in the first place.

                          Obama could emulate the 1 percent he apparently despises and take home the 1 dollar salary. Then at least it would be a PR event with some meaning.

                            It simply allows you to deduct a higher percentage of the cost in the first year. Currently the bonus is 50% or 100%. Any remaining depreciation would be handled under MACRS
