Today's laugh...
....courtesy of some corporate puke being interviewed on CNN about the
president's proposal to limit executive pay in companies that received bail-out funds to no more than $500,000. "We're not going to get the best and brightest to work in corporations anymore." A. As if they did, and, B. If they were the best and brightest, how come the companies they work for collapsed? |

This president says he responds to polls and what the people are saying. To be heard, here is his contact information To paraphrase: Please send early and often. http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ (Since this only accepts about 400 characters per comments you will have to send many to get your points across. ) Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414 FAX: 202-456-2461 TTY/TDD Comments: 202-456-6213 Visitors Office: 202-456-2121 |

They don't work usually. It's all part of a network of good ole boys, sorta. They get each other on corporate boards and scratch each other's backs. They appoint a CEO based on their ability to reward each other. The CEO will get millions or whatever shares of stock and options jets etc. One of the frist items on their tickets are golden parachutes and bonuses etc. Very rarely is their fortune contingent, on making money, for Companies, certainly not Employees. No one owns anything on Wall Street. They use status to buy huge shares of stock on huge margins and operate it to get the maximum short term gain and sell off the carcus. They export American Industry to other countries because they a re allowed to use the whip, so to speak, pretty much as they wish on wage slavery, the environment, and control the economy. They minimize their costs and risks and sell back to Americans at the same or higher margins. Meanwhile we are told we should develop a service or economy, and prosperity will follow. It is all a load of bs. We aren't making wealth but are still having to spend more for basics and everything else. It is a rape of our economy. Pretty soon we will be depressed to a lowest common denominator with places that have no resources or capacity or are ruled like Mexico. Mexico is a place where they should have a high level of prosperity but a few very wealthy hold the power and money and to hell with the rest of the Country. That where the Globalists are herding us. All the money in their hands and everyone else on the planet serving their needs. Welcome to the global plantation. It is not about sharing America's prosperity with the world It is about America sharing the poverty of the rest of the world for the benefit of a hand full of Globalists. |

Why don't do an analysis of all of the people who are going to lose their jobs because that CEO had his pay cut back to that level. |

Why don't do an analysis of all of the people who are going to lose their jobs because that CEO had his pay cut back to that level. That will have some ripple effect assuming they can't find another gig. I imagine the real heavy hitters will get a job for megabucks in a non-TARP company but $500k cuts pretty deep into the executive suite so a lot of upper middle management will be taking a hit. The guy who probably gets hurt the most is the $750k guy. Not enough pull to get another $750k job but enough bills to take a serious hit from a 33% salary cut. My heart goes out to them. Maybe the $500,000 a year guy will have to apply for food stamps. The guy who gets hurt the most is from this are the guys making $50,000 and less. Obama and the rest of the Democrats on Capital Hill can't seem to follow the money as it trickles down from the the CEO's paycheck to the gardeners paycheck, the mechanic a the Mercedes shop, the clerk who works at Nordstrom's. The waiters and busboys at the restaruant near the CEO's weekend house will suffer too. The only thing that trickles down is pee. |

Maybe you can go to Russia and bring back some Soviet era Economists with their PhD's in Communist Economics. They'd most likely work for minimum wage. |

At one time Tipp O'Neal was quoted when people were upset about congress voting themselves a pay raise: "Sure we know that times are tough out there, but times are tough in here, too. And you would think that the American public would want us to have our pay raise so that they could have a more efficient government...." |
