It's a long but slippery slope, right?
Flashy, give us 200 (600?) words.while being the fatalist i am, mitchy, i do not necessarily disagree with your "we are going to hell in a handbasket" approach in the last paragraph, even if i disagree with exactly how it will happen. :smile::wink:
So do I. :tongue:I have to come out as someone who likes Flashy...
Truffle-stuffed brie aside, and we jest, I hope you know where I'm coming from.
Don't be silly. He wouldn't bother working for a lousy billion dollars.
Getting back to the subject of CEO's making to much money, how come I don't hear any bitching about professional athletes and celebreties salaries and endorsement packages?
Getting back to the subject of CEO's making to much money, how come I don't hear any bitching about professional athletes and celebreties salaries and endorsement packages? for some reason that is perfectly ok. they're the ones taking your money. You run your charge cards up to have the latest designer shoes, jeans, get that Samsung big screen tv because brett farve has one. you're pathetic.
Professional athletes and celebrities aren't exactly pushing laissez-faire economics while simultaneously shipping jobs to Mexico and China.
So do I. :tongue:

We're talking about the CEO who owns 5 billion dollars of financial wealth... and redistributing some of that wealth back into the country's infrastructure and to the have-nots in the form of a healthcare system... I know, I know. SO Marxist! So unreasonable. That CEO can survive on just one billion, I'll bet.
I would venture to guess that a majority of the top 1% did nothing to "earn" their wealth other than being fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family.
Well, maybe he doesn't "deserve" 5 billion in your book, but why do you deserve even one red cent of his money?
Oh, dear god. And then there's people like you who deserve to be considered, by anyone's estimation, assholes, one-in-five billion.
These things happen.
True that...
While some athletes do make an obnoxious amount of money for what they do, I doubt anyone of them are in the top 1% tax bracket either. Plus, if you somehow can't perform your duties you don't get a bonus of $24 Million.
And here's the thing, asshole, my reasons are always good.
It all finally makes sense. Good = nonexistent. I guess that explains why Obama has done "good" things.
