HA. No way is she worth $26k a minute. Now I dont think anyone is worth that kind of money, Im a capitalist and not for controlling someone's pay but there are a lot of these people out there that get paid insane amounts of money for things that are not important.
My biggest gripe with this are the ones who claim to be for the little guy. They want big government, rail about equality and the poor and how corporate America is bad. Yet many of them make 5/6/7 figures. This includes those hollywood big mouths. Not once have a seen them asking for a pay cut. Not once have I heard or witnessed any of them downgrading their lavish lifestyles to give money to the poor or other unfortunate. They gladly take that money, probably demand it, and live it up.
The way some liberals in the media/hollywood/politics talk, they should be living like Mother Teresa. They should be the "shining" example of what they want the ones they rail against, to be. But they dont. They're hypocrites.
you don't have to live an impoverished life to care about the poor or to give to charity. bill gates still lives quite the life style and his charitable donations are well known. get a grip, sounds more like jealousy on your part.
Same liberals that blast CEO pay, blast some wealthy and preach about inequality. Hypocrites.
I don't think you know what the word hypocrite means. Saying we want the wealthy to pay higher taxes, so that the tax rate returns to the historical average rates instead of being the second lowest in the last century, is not the same as saying liberals don't want to also work hard and make money. Your problem is you have no idea what the other side is arguing yet you want to argue against them.
My suggestion is stop listening to talk radio if you want to find out what liberal positions actually are and instead ask actual liberals what their positions are. Maybe then you wouldn't be so completely wrong about the other side's positions.
I don’t mean to pick on (Chelsea); she’s done nothing wrong. She has a famous name and a semi-famous face, and in a celebrity culture like our own, that makes her qualified enough. She’ll draw eyeballs, which makes her no less deserving and probably more so than many. But her new high-profile job, and the quick ascent of others similarly situated, do serve as reminders of just how institutionalized such advantages really are.
Oh, sorry. That's from a column complaining about Jenna Bush Hager's Today show deal. Hopefully Jenna got as sweet a deal as Chelsea.
So a child of a high ranking politician gets a high paying job from a private company...and right wingers are upset why? This just sounds like everything right wingers support, and the capitalist side of me is fine with this. Sometimes it is who you know, not what you know that gets you a high paying job.
But that said, I wouldn't discredit Chelsea her skills of her worth, she has worked very hard to get to where she has gotten. Another thing right wingers should like.

So what is the issue?
The issue? What skills? She's worked hard? Seriously? There's nothing to like about her.

Have you gone over her resume or has she applied for a job with you before? I doubt it, if a company wants to pay her that much, that is their choice. It is called free market capitalism that you guys swear up and down that you support, so when did that support change?

So what did you think about Obama when he said tax the rich, people making $200k a year.
And here we have Clinton making $600k a year and you defend her?

And what does that comment have to do with a person getting paid a lot with a private company? When did you become anti-capitalist, comrade?
