Except the CEOs who run the investors (people who invest their 401ks) dry by paying themselves exorbitant salaries while they run the corporation/bank into the ground!
The CEO's do not run investors dry. Where do you get this information from ?
You choose what to invest in your 401K. Don't like the salary that GM pays it's CEO then don't buy GM.
Investors are in it for profit and if they don't get their profit they sell.
It has nothing to do with CEO salaries. The CEO could be making billions but if their stock is going up in price as well as their dividends then they could care less.
You are sadly misinformed if you think CEO salaries drive investor decisions.
And CEO's do not determine their own salaries. The board of directors decides that.
So they just started showing world wide OWS protests. Watched one from Rome and if one looks in the background you'll see what many fully expect to start seeing here, at least one car on fire and an angry mob that looks to be trashing as they go.
This doesn't look like it'll end well...
it won't end well...and the President of this country supports them. How 'responsible' is that?
Getting back on subject!!!!!!!!!!!
I see that the demonstration in Rome Italy didn't go as planned.
Riot police and teargas. A fun time was had by all.
Apparently free market capitalism isn't working well for 99% of the people.
Actually, it is and works better than anything else any country in history has tried or used.
The problem is that we have too many younger generations that have been educated in a very bad public school system that never teaches comprehension, among other necessary mind exercises, and never prepares the mind to learn much of anything but, NO competition, NO responsibility, NO ability to learn work ethics, etc....it's all about ME, ME, ME, which, in essence, keeps these generations captured back in childhood (or childish) mental level. Now we have the worst of them out there totally destroy that park in New York (private property, by the way), stinking the place up with their unsanitary actions, smoking dope, shooting up drugs, public sex, disturbing the peace, destroying property...Yep...they need to go home and get a job. And...yes there are jobs. They have to "get over" the idea that some jobs at starting level are "beneath them." That just ain't the way it works here, folks. They need to take responsibility for themselves. Wish the government and/or parents would cut them off immediately and make them take that responsibility!

In June 2010, the Federal Reserve, six months into a compensation review of the country’s 28 largest financial companies, found that many of the bonus and incentive programs that economists say contributed to the financial crisis remained in place. And in a report released in July 2010, Kenneth R. Feinberg, President Obama’s special master for executive compensation, said that nearly 80 percent of the $2 billion 2008 bonus pay was unmerited.

An analysis by The Wall Street Journal found that pay and benefits at the top 25 publicly traded banks and security firms on Wall Street hit a record of $135.5 billion.
Nice spin spinmaster30000. You suggested certain people had a defective gene pool...

So what's the point of teaching evolution, Darwinism, nature, survival of the fittest and all that in the schools if we don't wish to allow it?
I simply pointed out that Darwinism refers to "physical" not "financial". The increased survival of the wealthy can be bought today with our medical technology. Thus the wealthy have the means to keep their dead bodies alive.

So to continue on with your thought process:
We should make sure to do genetic testing right when they're born so we don't allow those with say a heart disease to reproduce before they ever even know it...
Cheney isn't shooting out babies now and his Children are all adults. Your argument is the one for genetic engineering, even if you didn't mean it that way.
