THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON: NOT ONE GOT A DIME FROM ME.

• THEY WERE ALL PAID BY THEIR SHAREHOLDERS - NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC. (AND FEDERAL ASSISTANCE THEY GOT WILL BE REPAID.)
• IOW: IT'S NONE OF OUR G-DANGED BUSINESS WHAT THEY GOT PAID.
• IT'S JUST GOSSIP.
• COVETOUS LEFT-WING GOSSIP.

PUBLISHING THIS GOSSIP IS PART OF THE LEFT'S ANTI-CAPITALISM/ANTI-FREE ENTERPRISE PROPAGANDA EFFORT.

DON'T BE DUPED.
