Robert Reich raking in the dough, while lecturing on greed. $240 Grand to teach one class???
Ex-Clinton official Robert Reich delivers lecture on greed while earning $240G to teach one class | Fox News

"Worth to society?" What about ones worth to his/her employer? That is what wages are based on. This man, like most liberals, is not living in the real world. His world is some fantasy land that can never exist.

Take away man's incentive to be creative, innovate, and improve his own standard of living, and nobody's standard of living improves. Without innovation, and the willingness of some to take risks, we would never be as advanced as we are today.

Reich is a know-nothing idiot!

Like AIG execs, the target is on the wrong back.

Who supports this hypocracy? the people who pay!

Ahh yes, to have an opinion on wealth inequality you must be poor, otherwise you are a hypocrite?

But wait, if you're poor, then its just envy.

Nice reasoning you have there. All the while you demonstrate a really good example of a ad hominem attack.

Just keep voting for the Democrats, they are here to help. They are totally different from the Republicans and will not put wall street in the whitehouse, will not take the donations from Exxon and GE etc. and allow pipelines and fracking and will not appoint the Monsanto CEO as the head of the FDA.

Keep fighting the good fight. Thankyou for your support or the party that supports the corporations will win!

P.S. Please send us a check so we can stop the republicans from being so pro-corporation. THanks!

Feel free to ignore the problem because you dislike someone delivering the information. That will work out fine I am sure.

Like the one about the OP mispelling height while calling Reich a "know-nothing idiot!"?

Which is doubly funny as Reich is short.

I see...

Fatcats raking in millions in unearned bonuses is dandy with the right.

But a former cabinet member teaching at Stanford and getting a small fraction of that is hypocritical.

Hardly.

Carry on.

Nothing of the sort. Just pointing out that party loyalists (like you) will fold on actual positions in a heartbeat by rationalizing that " the other side is worse"....when really "the other side is the same".

Irony that you seem to think I'm ignoring the problem....because you seem to think it's somebody else's problem....just not your parties.

Actually Im not a party loyalist at all. I know theres some assumption that anyone who disagrees with conservatives or republicans here is some massive party loyalist. But the reality is I am not. Heck my love of guns alone keeps me from being a party loyalist! I will vote for whomever I like the best. I freely admit thats been generally Democrats, but I've voted for Independents and Republicans on occasion. I'm especially appalled by the lack of decent candidates for the 2016 elections from either side. Its entirely possible I will pick the green party this next presidential election.

Mr. Reichs presentations are factually based. Attempts to turn them into some "evil liberal message" ignore the reality. I find that intellectually offensive.
