quote: ORIGINAL: Owner59 It`s the fact that middle income earners are paying a higher tax rate than rich people, that gets normal average people upset. Not how much someone earns. You`re welcome in advance. Blame that on the tax laws, and who is the party of lawyers?... Oh yeah, it's the Democrats who get all the Law firm big buck contributions... Why is that? Oops, Law firms donated a whopping 76% to Democrats in the last Presidential Election. The only CEO's paying less in taxes are the smart ones taking advantage of loop holes, or those living off capital gains... So instead of blaming the CEO's for taking advantage of loop holes provided by our law makers, how about you whine to the law makers instead?

When we kill the bush tax cuts......you`re welcome to send rich people your money on your own. Just don`t ask the rest of us working stiffs to.

Obama is the only socialist who wants to end the Bush tax cuts, and he has to win in November first...[;)] But you, and all those Dem millionaires are always welcome to write checks to the IRS, if you really feel your tax rates are too low.

Well, regarding public-sector unions, I disaprove of union dues AND service charges being taken out of public-employees' salary even if the employee is anti-union. How's that for a starter? Reminds me of Microsoft's infamous "per-processor" OS licensing agreement with PC OEM's back in the mid-1970s...which required PC OEMs to pay an OS licensing royalty fee to Microsoft based not on only the number of PCs they sold with Microsoft's OS pre-installed but, rather, on the total number of PCs they sold (including those without any MS software at all).

quote: ORIGINAL: papassion To the Libs ranting about how much compensation CEOs' make. Why don't YOU apply to be a CEO? Don't you like money? Oh wait, it takes a lot of WORK to get the education and experience to be a CEO. Oh, is that what is holding you back? Don't sit in a bar crying in your beer about how some CEO works years to get degrees and experience, and takes a chance on losing all his money on a business startup. (90% fail in 5 years) To give YOU a job so you can sit and whine about how "unfair" life is! Yeah, with all you think you know, YOU could be a CEO! REALLY?? u ARE clueless arent u? Most CEO's of companies and hospitals never spent a day doing what even his lowest Managers did.... and most are transfers from industries totally different than what they'er coming to... like banker CEO's being brought into heading up a hospital. The mark zukerburg's ( I know I killed his name somehow) and facebook's being at a company from day one of the company are few & far between.... its old money looking after old money bucky..... u dont apply to be a CEO, u get voted into it from 5 to 10 member (depending on corporate structure) board of directors ( usually of also old money) and/or maybe has to get voted in by the stockholders. (again, depending on corporate structure) and even then the compensation package WITH "golden parachute" was long decided allready - the stockholders usually only vote on the person, - not what the person gets paid. ....why dont u take some of ur own advice and pull ur head out of that (beer gl)ass of urs and see how corporations REALLY work. Try one of those buldings that says LIBRARY on it!! notice the difference in spelling from LIQUOR! And to NOT be one of those 90% that dont make it as a startup of both a kink & a vanilla busness....I did.

Charlie Because they cant do as much as the people who already HAS money, but takes even more... by telling the lie that if u give them more money in the form of tax cuts they'll create more jobs for the people u want to get upset at...and DONT for ALMOST 11 YEARS??.... if u arent upset about that then u simply arent paying attention... or like being a sucker for abuse. (no disrepect to the pain sluts here!) so the people at the bottom have no chance of working themselves into being payers u (and most of them) want.... it makes no sense being upset at the people with the least means to affect things.... but not at the people who could and DO affect everything? Kinda like being mad at a chicken for not being able to hunt like a fox.

This is a false analogy. M/s was making them pay for something that they did not get. If you do not like the protections that a union provides (at a fee) then feel free to vote with your feet.

My computer was down for a day or so but this is for Owner.. The dems did get back one seat in the Senate after 125 million dollars was spent by both sides, but the problem is, they are not in session. It means nothing. The Republicans will gain control again in November.. Mark my words...

Look who's just learned about irony and how it works. Welcome to literacy.

Geez, it sort of looks like Scott Walker to me, so I didn't catch the irony.

What, they were selling a PC that wasn't invented until the early '80s back in the mid '70s? (None Microsoft PC clones didn't come until a few years later still, in fact.) I know you're a bit clueless, effendi, but you don't have to try so hard to flaunt it. Love the way your example of teh eeevil of unions is a demonstration of unregulated capitalism in it's purest form as well.
