If I got a 53 million dollar bonus
I would not be able to live with myself if I did'nt share most of it with the people in this country who have lost everything .

I look inside myself and I cannot understand how on earth anyone could look away from the desperate problems so many people have .

I suppose one needs a certain blind or selfish mindset to be able to look the other way .

2. You need to be a bleeding heart liberal, of course
but, hey, he could at least give some, cross that, most of it back to his investors, many of them, no doubt, lost a lot of money following his advice.

4. My rich butt would go straight over to NOLA
I would take all it and figure out how to rebuild as many homes as possible in NOLA. After that, I would make it my life's work to figure out how to suck all the business away from the asshole insurance companies that refused to help because they claimed the homes were destroyed by flooding instead of the hurricane even though the hurricane is what broke the levees in the first place. I want those insurance companies to suffer. I want to steal their best employees, take all their business and destroy them once and for all.

5. Of course, I'd share most of it
There is only so much that you can buy that you would really want anyway.
In a way I am hypocritical though because I did not share my 3 figures Christmas bonus, other than buying Christmas gifts for all the people who I usually buy them for.
