New York — In spite of the severe global economic downturn, executives of the Fokken-Stoopehd Corporation of America have voted themselves and key high level employees a total of $150 million in bonuses and benefits. All this in the aftermath of a government bail-out funded by taxpayers’ money.
The Fokken-Stoopehd people can’t understand why the taxpayers are up in arms and demanding the money be returned.
“I honestly don’t see why people are upset. This is a typical Fokken-Stoopehd move. In fact, you’ll find it’s very common throughout the financial industry,” said a Fokken-Stoophed spokesman.
“We’ve had an extremely challenging and ultimately successful year,” said the Fokken-Stoopehd Chairman. “After all, this is a company worth saving, and we had to work long and hard to persuade Congress to grant us the funds we need to survive.”
How much money?
“$150 million,” said the Fokken-Stoopehd man, without batting an eye.
