This doesn't seem to make sense. Women who apply for welfare must reveal the income of any man who happens to be living with them even though the man may contribute nothing to the support of the children. Parents of students who apply for financial aid must reveal their income even though they may contribute nothing to their children's education. These relationships are much more tenuous than the relationship between say AIG and Deutsche Bank which is contractually defined. Lets protect Parents and the guys who boff welfare moms. The bankers can look out for themselves. > There is. > > a) If you are a shareholder. Vote your shares on such rules. Except most shareholders are shareholders by virtue of having a pension, a retirement fund or insurance and can't vote their shares on such rules. If you pay taxes, you are a 'shareholder' in pretty much every major financial institution these days but you don't get a vote. That's why people are so pissed. -- Vegetarians eat Vegetables, Humanitarians frighten me _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
