Companies paid more to CEOs than to US in taxes (unemployment, bankrupt)

This is absurd.

Study: Companies paid more to CEOs than in U.S. tax - SiliconValley.com

The Wall Street Journal also featured it, and EVERYONE (Demo and Repub) should read this carefully. Then read it again.

For those who won't click a link, here's some major points: "The more a company pays its CEO, the bigger the tax breaks it gets." "All the major corporations cited in the report paid more to their CEOs than they did in federal income taxes." "There are no limits to what a CEO can stuff into a retirement account. But you have strict limits: contributions cap out at $22,000 a year for workers older than 50" (actually, $17,000 if you're under 50).

Did Obama fix these flaws? Or make even the smallest attempt? No, he put Big Government into a health care system already unworkable thanks to bureaucratic middlemen--something he mentioned not a word of during campaign time.

Actually, did Obama even attempt to address ANY of the problems he rightfully criticized Bush for allowing--senseless and bankrupting wars, insane debt left to our children and grandchildren, the decline of the Middle Class, government hyper-overspending, an intractable Recession/Depression, the War on Drugs being genocide on African American societies, devaluation of the dollar to steal the wealth of the citizenry and give it to government, unprecedented unemployment, a lost generation of college graduates, pathetic numbers of competent STEM graduates, the aging out of the last productive and competent class of worker, etc., etc.?

And yes, Romney is a pathetic and unlikeable joke (as predicted), but he's better than 4 more years of the SAME comatose economy, UnFair Trade, outsourcing of jobs, and Welfare State that ensures a quick slide to the lifestyle of the 3rd World.

Too bad the people aren't yet strong enough (and smart enough) to see through the political and media manipulation that offers "More of the same decline." I actually had hope (silly me, when will I stop hoping that good may just once triumph over evil?)--when Ron Paul offered us the same freedom and prosperity that Thomas Jefferson gave us when our nation was founded.

Oh well, maybe someone will invent an intelligence enhancing drug or genetic manipulation, before every intelligent human has wasted their lives paying a government huge taxes for the right to live.
