Pension Fund Sues Goldman Over Pay

Here’s the deal. Acrimoney is exploring public outrage over Goldman’s $22 billion bonus pool. We’ve broken our post into two parts so you can vent your outrage or support the company’s right to pay whatever it wants.

How do you feel?

Re-tweet this post if you believe: 1) Goldman has the right to pay whatever it chooses; 2) regard the company as a solid performer year in, year out ; and 3) Uncle Sam should butt out because government interference undermines capitalism. You agree with Goldman’s lawyer who said, “We think the suit is entirely without merit.”

Let’s face it. If you re-tweet this post, you regard the public’s outrage as dangerous. Shareholders elect the board, right? They’re the ones who should be deciding compensation, not the folks in Washington DC, some of whom don’t even pay their own taxes. So go viral and send Goldman some holiday cheer via Twitter. There’s no better way to get the word out.

Or perhaps, you’re disgusted by the excess. If so, click on this link where you can Tweet Out Against Goldman’s Bonuses. Next week on Wednesday December 23, we’ll compare the tweet count and analyze results.
