Lucylastic -> 10 Ceos, have to cut 47,850 jobs!! (5/15/2011 8:18:26 AM)
But between them manage to take home 178.7 MILLION dollars in one year [image]https://motherjones.com/files/images/ceo_cuts3.png[/image] Corporate profits grew 38.8 percent in 2010, the biggest increase since 1950. But while CEOs earned an average of 20 percent more last year, many Americans continued to lose their jobs and benefits. The insecurity of the middle class has a lot to do with how executives are paid. Bonuses pegged to stock prices encourage CEOs to mercilessly outsource and downsize, slashing costs to boost profits. The result is that more corporate leaders are getting paid at the expense of average workers. \ http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/05/ceo-executive-pay-layoffs Now who was saying that theres nothing to be disgusted about???

Your gripe is that theyre making money for themselves and their investors? Dont you invest? Its the unions and government regulations and red tape (environmental and otherwise) and taxes that make it unprofitable to keep plants open here, they have to go where their businesses can stay afloat. They do have to compete globally Luce, so they stay here and go under or they can relocate and turn a profit Its business. What do you propose as a solution, tax them more to punish them Will "The beatings will continue until morale is improved" ?

the fact it goes over your head is not a big surprise. 17 million a year while cutting jobs is totally fair to you Thats ONE mans wages, not shareholders, not a dept expense account, that is a single person. this is fine with you I wish I could join in your joyful ignorance Im not playing with you tho today tom, you are beyond hope have fun

You notice they are cutting health benefits as well. So the employee will have to use more of his disposable income to purchase healthcare or be in violation of federal law (something that the company will then have grounds to fire the employee with if they want)

17 million for one year in wages for one person is fine, but the unions and regulations are the issue SNORT there is no way you can justify that to me, not now or ever read what I just typed....let it settle in that miasma of ignorance you call an intellect.

No solutions Luce? All you have to offer are these weak insults? [:D] You betray your position as indefensible through employing this typical leftist tactic, and I hope you realize as much

The leftists here who can reasonably discuss the issues can be easily counted on two fingers The rest are doing good to come up with an new insult for every post, to substitute for reasoned discourse quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic read what I just typed....let it settle in that miasma of ignorance you call an intellect.

Don't you know we all can invest through our 401K I mean no one has ever lost money there due to laws being broken or insider trading. It's just shows how the top 1% control everything. Their profits are up because they have moved offshore to low wage countries. Yea!! they made more money. However they sure do spend a ton of money in DC making sure that those low wage countries don't have to meet US standards for safety or child labor laws when it comes to their imports The recent Apple plant is a good example, forced to put in 100 hours OT a month, 12-18 hours days, forced to live in common housing...No a UNION would serve no purpose there. The hell with peoples saftey, health and well being. All this country cares about is PROFITS But it does seem strange with PROFITS at the highest levels ever...the USA is struggling to stay afloat. Of course with no middle class left they have no one to increase the taxes on to pay off the debt.
