Poor Corporate CEO’s…
Just read the silliest remarks in response to a news story. Our president makes the statement that companies bailed out by the government should not pay insane bonuses to the people who are CAUSING our current economic nightmare. People responded by insulting anyone who supported him and claiming he is “not creating new jobs this way.”
They must be the last three idiots in the world who still buy into “Trickle Down Economics”. These CEO’s do NOT create new jobs here with their MASSIVE bonus packages. They use it to go to other countries and have a good time. They buy luxury items you and I will never dream of being able to buy because these same people laid us off. Rich people who get a massive chunk of money do not “think of the greater good” or “help the common man”. They look out for themselves and screw everybody else. There are those who do buck that trend, but the vast majority of them do not.
A good number of these rich, lazy, useless people are takign the money and putting it into overseas accounts to keep from paying tax on it and buying up cheap stock in increments that will give them ownership of even more of our world while not quite increasing the stock price until they own as much as they can.
It just seems incredibly silly to me that people who actually work for what they get can back a CEO who caused his company to fail, getting insane pay.
