    It's not their money. Executives are employees, the stockholders are the owners. Is it possible you don't know this?

    They made money for decades before compensation rose to ridiculous levels. There is no correlation.

    They get over compensated whether they make money or lose money, there is no correlation. I'll own whatever I want to and I have the right to complain whenever I want to.

    You can kiss their overpaid asses if you want to. Not me. It's another example of the richest stealing from the middle class.

    I'll do whatever I please, thank you.

    They work for me, child.

    You come here complaining about a lot of stuff. We all do. Live with it.

    I support my assertions. I do not support what you suggest are my assertions.

    :huh: Try to make some sense.

    Pay attention! I said that odd people latch onto Tea party protests just like odd people latch on Occupy protests. Google tea party racism and read about 9 million hits. See how many of these Tea party signs have anything to do with cutting taxes.

    The internet and the news shoes are full of such comparisons. You only have to look.

    You always change the subject to make it about me because you can't carry on a debate.

    What are you afraid of hearing? It's free speech alley and I'm on topic. If you don't like what I say, go find another thread.

    well, i think when we make CEO pay a political issue we misunderstand the nature of the free market.

    and it isnt really on topic, your gripes with the companies you own. nobody gives a damn about your personal financial issues.

    of course the lie is that you only have a gripe with your companies. you have a gripe with ceo pay in general, which is is of course none of your business. its just more class conflict nonsense from the left.

    again, i dunno how many time supa and sabanfan and i have to say it. what other people make is not for you to be concerned about. unless you are paying them, in which case is is a matter for your privately. not a political issue. not up for debate.

    Ha ha...the people who advocate TAX, TAX, TAX, SPEND, SPEND, SPEND now want tax deductible status.

    Even if you disagree with the left you have to love watching these Hypocrites...I mean Democrats. :thumb:

    After listening to the comments of these people it's quite obvious why the country is having problems. If Obama remains in office for an additional four years who will he blame for his continued failed policies? Bush...the weather...Congress...the evil 1%...

    I hope and pray he's gone next year but will find it quite comical when his base continues to attempt to justify his policies.

    Congratulations Jimmy Carter!!!...Obama has moved ahead of you. You're no longer #1.
