Yet Another Wall Street Tax

Yet another attempt to kill off the talent on Wall Street .... and this one isn't limited to banks who accepted TARP.

New York's temporary 3-year tax kicks in for people earning over $300,000, with the highest rate imposed on people earning $500,000.

I am watching an entire industry being decimated in slow motion .... much like the melting glaciers due to global warming.

What talent? :)

I agree.... what talent?

I don't see Wall Street and the banking sector with great talent.

The "talent" is in the IT sector. Wall Street simply throws money at problems.

Reducing salaries is a good idea. Everyone one I talk to agrees. Bonuses are outrageous compared to other sectors. Risk taking and brash behavior with others money is rewarded.

Look where we are now.

Let's get real.....
