	Not the Bill and Ted or Wayne and Garth type either http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12949637 Transocean gives bonuses after Gulf of Mexico BP spill The offshore drilling firm responsible for running the Deepwater Horizon rig has given its top executives bonuses for its "best year" for safety. Transocean was blamed along with BP and Halliburton after last year's massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven workers, nine of whom worked for Transocean, died when the Deepwater Horizon exploded almost a year ago. But Transocean said there had been a drop in the rate of recorded incidents and also in their potential severity. ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school

	Getting a Bonus is not Nothing. It is Real Money. Money to be taxed. Money to be spent. Money to be invested Money doing work. We've all heard the stories of how $1 changes so many hands and benefits so many people. Even a dollar a Super Rich Elite gets is highly Beneficial. However, most Bonuses go to Regular Joes and Jolines. I call that a Bonus to them and The Economy. iWorm 'em.

	Ah but our corporate executives are to smart to take cash bonuses. that would be taxes at 35%. they take stock options, which when sold are taxes at 15%. Not bad if you can do it. BTW 15% is considered the lowest tax bracket when calculating income. ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school

	Yep. And 1%; 5%; 10%; 15% - 35% of 1 MILLION or 100 MILLION is a lot more than Joe and Joline pay in taxes in Their Lifetime. So, Super Rich Elite/Corporations et al - keep getting those Bonuses and keep paying More Taxes in Your Lifetimes than Millions of Joe and Jolines pay in Multiple Lifetimes. Also, keep Contributing to Charities in Amounts So Great it Boggles the Mind. And keep taking those Deductions. For net net the Amount going into The Treasury is Magnitude of Orders Greater than Whatever Poor Hard Working Joe and Joline can ever contribute. Also, anytime I see a McMansion going up, I see plenty of Joe and Jolines Working Hard building it. Jobs Jobs Jobs. And McMansions these days are becoming very "Green". Go in any Working Class Neighborhood and show me all the "Green". iWorm 'em. ____________
