voice and respect in the industry. steve: i want to say thank you again for sharing your experience. i really appreciate it. all the best to you. thank you. thank you, steve. steve: so, i don t know. what we just learned, they not only didn t pay up but they promised it and took it back. sadly, we ve seen this plant before. we ve seen corporations in congress backed by corporations because of their lobbyist and they do what they want. let s look at the trump tax. many benefit from the tax cuts. after getting money from the american taxpayers they laid off 5000 people. when you talk about the bankruptcy reform in 2005, every time they open it up it always benefits bank and bank regulators and never the american people. we have to be mindful about
they are not seen a dime of the $75 million they say they re entitled to severance pay. current bankruptcy rules define this as on repaid debt only paid after secured debts like bank loans that pay for lawyers and financial advisors. by the time the fatcats are paid for there s nothing left for employees. they need to go back to the bankruptcy reform act. congress could change it. as swamp watch has shown time and again they have a track record of sided with big business against the american worker. to throw salt in the wound, 17 of the executives including ceo, david brandon, were handed out between 60 and $32 million in bonuses last year. bonuses. the executives justified this by saying the bonuses were necessary to make sure they performed at a high level during the bankruptcy.
back live on mtp daily. with clinton s team more confident about the white house, she s turning to down ballot races. the nbc news, the wall street journal poll, 46% of registered voters want democrats controlling congress, two points more than prefer republican control. 53% of registered voters are likely to vote a congress to check clinton. to combat that ticket splitting, alex seitz wald says clinton will be doing what many have been doing months, getting republicans attached to donald trump. the democratic congressional
