Notebook: Executive Salary Cap

[Cindi3847]

Katie thinks it's a slippery slope because she makes over $10 million a year. Is she concerned that at some point they may try to cap her salary.

Remember what she said about the cap being popular on main street. She was putting down everyone that doesn't make millions per year.

I dare Obama to limit professional ball players, immoral secular Jew Hollywood movie producers, and Oprah's sallaries to a maximum of $500,000 per year.

Just think about the billions of dollars wasted on these worthless and unproductive poeple.

Just think about how many hungry children could be feed by "speading" and "redistributing" these people's money around!

But I doubt Obama will shit where he eats!!!

I agree that the people you named are overpaid but the ballplayer as well as doctors, scientists and others have skills that very few people have. The Wall Street CEO's and executives are not gifted people and are mostly people that have a "gift of gab" and were at the right place at the right time. Tens of thousands of Americans in the financial world could do there job as well.

I believe if you fail like these CEO's have, they should be fired.

Ball players have unproductive skills.

You may be right that ballplayers skills are unproductive but they have skills and the CEO Failures have no skills EXCEPT to ruin their companies.

Congress forced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make home loans to people who had bad credit as a way to get a large number of people defaulting and force the government to bail them out and push us closer to socialism. The bad mortages where bundled and sold to banks that are regulated and then they failed because of the bad mortages Congress allowed. They did this under cover of the war and propaganda against Bush.

A change from the present mark-to-market accounting system would solve much of the current credit crisis.

Yeah! Gobama!!

Finally, those mofo bloodsucker CEOs who take my TAXpaying money deserve what they've done! Instead of getting "golden parachute" money for performing badly, make our tax bailout money go to the people who actually need it: the employees.

I don't care if it's called socialism or communism or whatever the haters is throwing at Obama. The intention is good for our country and it's good for our out-of-control capitalism economy!

It really isn't socialism or communism. The highest form of Capitalism is "if you ruin a company you should be fired". Reducing a persons salary and letting them keep their job is benevolent. As taxpayers who own the controlling stock in these companies, my vote is to fire them, but if everyone else wants to cut their salary to $500,000 it's ok.
