HK must not have understood the book. It is really about "If I am

I saw an interview where this book was held up as a justification for the
pure greed displayed by the "business leaders" of the US that take huge
friggin bonuses for a job poorly done.
That, old friend, is something displayed prominently in corrupt communist
societies. Couple this with the loss of free thought and speech as well
as major corporations being so powerful that they cannot be challenged by
the government and we see the destruction of the American ideal.
If this greedy scum want to punish us by stepping down (as in the
fictional novel you're reading) from the jobs they have failed at, I say
they'd be doing America a great service.

Too funny. If I ever get to over 250k/year I'll bitch about the tax change
too. I'm pretty far from it and so, I'd bet, is the majority of this group
so I'll save the crocodile tears for something a little more worthy than the
top 5%.



No CEO is worth more than a reasonable multiple of the average salaried
worker at any company. A reasonable multiple is not 100 or 500 times.

I love it that the House has passed a confiscatory tax on the damned
retention and other bonuses the wall street/insurance/banking crooks are
paying themselves for failure. Out of our tax money. **** 'em.

The morality police - the bloviating gas bags of the religious right -
have fallen lower than the stock market. It has truly been an amazing
(and amusing) thing to watch these so-called "spokesmen of Christ"
defending their morally indefensible positions these days. Finally -
they're going away. It seems an answer to a prayer. Thank you, Lord.
