You know, liberals are really stupid. Where are most of the financial wizards located whose pay Obama wants to cut? Right, New York. Both New York state and the City having been leeching off the revenues generated by taxing these high earners. By cutting their salaries the politicians are also cutting their own tax revenues. The law of unintended consequences at work! There's a lot of that when Dems are in power.
I will NEVER agree to any sort of pay caps. That is, IMO, extremely Un-American. And, IMO, anyone who even suggests that there should be any sort of pay caps is, themselves, Un-American. Even a subversive
Not going to argue personal morality here, but seems the radical right uses morality and "family values" smokescreens much more than any other group...yet they don't practice what they preach.
IMO a man getting 50 million in this country today is immoral;
Is he going to heaven or hell? :He deserves a special place in hell,my opinion and I'm entitled.
Um, just thought I'd point out that Oprah makes more than that a year...and her personal fortune is pretty much the reason that Obama is in the Whitehouse as her backing gave him the momentum he needed to make the run in the primaries.

I am starting to develop the philosophy that any post that uses "liberals" or "conservatives" as a curse word or makes gross blanket statements...pretty much gets skipped right over.
Frankly, I find that people that make those statements really don't have the ability to make coherent points, they are just name calling and are ill-informed.

Anyone who disagrees with American greed, is in your opinion 'Un-American and subversive'? LOL - no wonder we are in this wonderful situation.
CEOs robbing the company bottom line, while not sufficiently rewarding other employees of the company, is American greed, pure and simple - it exists no where else in the world, and is bringing about the current economic downfall.
That's as far as I got. The CEO's are not "robbing" anything.
They are getting paid what the owners have agreed to pay that CEO.
