CEO's Make 300 Times Average Workers Salary

http://www.consumerwarningnetwork.com/2009/09/03/ceos-make-300-times-average-...

So much for the troubled banks. Taking charity from taxpayers hasn't seemed to make a difference to our top financial institutions. They are still paying their CEO's hefty salaries, despite the fact that these fearless leaders lead us into the black abyss of a near financial meltdown. All in a days work, apparently, and a very well compensated one at that. Watch the video above and learn more about the latest study on excessive CEO compensation.

there is no reason to pay evil jew bankers any interest at all. they do nothing a National Credit union could not do, but the Credit union would deposit all Profits into next years budget items. no need to pay jew interest at all. jews are not needed.

@DANJULLMANN44 Point is, that even if this isn't pure capitalism it's modern capitalism because the free market falls on itself - every market starts out with a dozen businesses competing with eachother and with 3-5 of them left standing after a while because they have more resources, more money, better connections etc and then they divide the market between them and keep the prices high and kill off any new businesses. That's why markets need strong regulation, else it all falls apart.

@atosafi1 Sorry I am not sure what your point is.

@DANJULLMANN44 This is modern capitalism, it's the same as when people call China, North Korea, Cuba, Soviet etc. "communist" countries.

Capitalism, who doesn't love it?

Don't hate the player, hate the game!!!

These greedy CEOs should be pitted against 160,000 laid-off workers in a Rome coliseum.

That is justice.

@boston312 well boston, I and other conservatives were not for the bailouts. We believe that part of capitalism is that weak, poorly run companies go by the way side and new more dynamic ones start up to replace them. So I agree the gov should but out and not pick winners and losers by bailing out bad companies. You lose the argument again. Try again my friend.

@Anothercoilgun so what is the remidy????? Tell me that. Do you think you or some gov body should determine what is fair?

[boston312]

@DANJULLMANN44 I dont care how much these CEOs make as long as it does not effect me. When their Corporations are constantly bailed out with my (our) tax money than I have an issue with them. Why do I need to pay for their fuck ups? You Conservatives all think the same. You somehow think that the rich are untouchable and that we (the masses) are here to serve their interests.
