    It would be apropro for all CXX’s of all corporations to do a little soul searching. If it weren’t for those large pieces of pie having to be dedicated as overhead, what could the surpluses be and where would rates evolve to. If the industry would actually view themselves and their vocation as true service venues there may not be so many Greedy bastards looking at the walls saying, “green, I’d like the walls to be anything but green, and that stainless commode has to go.”

    Sounds like a little penis envy there anon the mouse. Making a living, even a large living, isn’t a crime, except to the wierd left in this country.

    Exactly- these folks use their superior intellect to earn more power than the rest of us. Then they make sure they make tons of money.

    We would be honored just to be their 1,000 prostitutes.

    The only problem? If you are into that whole religion thing, Jesus was a liberal.

    So making money should be criminalized according to you. Why? Just because some of the idiot rich abuse their money? Why is making money such an offense to you and others. Who are you to say who is overpaid? Who made you the arbiter of ultimate justice?

    The basic premise of the story is flawed. The CEOs and their pals in the exec suite and on the lapdog boards they pick design the plans to suit themselves to begin with. Who better to know what the numbers are most likely to look like? Then they peg their “bonuses” in the form of stock options (a way of diluting all other shareholders’ shares which is the same as value stolen from these shareholders) to the pretty much known results. It’s little more than a form of insider trading that’s not illegal. SO no wonder it is more prevalent in the areas noted in the article. Duh!!

    There is no skin in the game–just a game that is rigged from the beginning to return undeserved extra earnings to the parasitic bullying managerial class currently afflicting America.

    The great liberal Media Moron has spoken. Don’t look behind the curtain. The arguement is over. Executives are evil, money grubbing parasites. Give me a break from your usual stupid comments.

    You may be right on the Democrats being elected. First time you have ever been right to my knowledge. Hard to tell since the Presidential candidates for the Dems are so busy shooting themselves in the foot right now they may even mess up their opportunity to get total power. Don’t expect to ever here from me that I agree with you on anything again. Your views are the worst kind of unthinking tripe passed along from your liberal masters. At least we know you can read since you read their daily talking points. Don’t bother to respond to me since I won’t open your posts again.

    Jesus was certainly NOT liberal. He taught people to fish and be self sufficient (conservative). If he just gave lazy people fish, he would have been a liberal.

    He also practiced self-sacrifice for the good of others (liberal)

    kind of like the war on terror. soldiers sacrificing for the good of others that the liberals decry. liberals seem very confused and can’t make up their minds.
