I've never heard of the guy, and I have been supporting the tea party since its inception. In fact I know of no one person who is legitimately a founder of the tea party. Sounds like a true fraud to me.

Just curious, is anyone who owns stocks or buys & sells stocks a filthy greedy bastard ??

Depends on whether they had insider information and used it to their advantage.
Do not recall the management or board of ENRON losing much. It was the little guy who lost it all!

Don't forget both George Bush's and Dick Cheney, they lost nothing.
They got out unscathed.

You know, I have seen a few public companies go under, I even owned a few shares from 3 different companies that went under.
What I have yet to see is, when the CEO and other board members walk away with nothing, unlike the shareholders do !

what is your answer to this?

 

[Catatonic]

what is your answer to this?

My answer is "Life ain't fair!"

Sure the heck doesn't seem right.

When an individual owns a business, he/she is the CEO, BOD and the shareowners and they seem to suffer equally.

That was a fine theory, way back when the anti-trust laws weren't so watered down.

Reality has it, in big business/corporate America, the pecking order should be much different than you have outlined.

The tip of the iceberg listed in blue.

Hoke was talking about the owners of small businesses.

I still say the CEO's and board members salaries should be capped. Lets say at $5 Mill per year.
That's the price to pay for going public ! (Duh, it's public money) !!!

If it's a private held company - they can earn as much as they want - it's their own company !

That's my solution to all this greed !

We have a minimum wage, why not a maximum. But if that cannot be implemented , maybe the top salary could be indexed to the lowest so that it cannot be more than say 5 times what the lowest makes!!

You’ll never get a clue what’s being done to this country from the complicit “mainstream” media.
But a KGB expert who defected to the good guys was explaining it for us back in the 80s.
Obama’s Cloward-Piven spending and the Occupy Wall Street movement make it obvious that America’s enemies have now reached the final stage before the establishment of totalitarian collectivism: destabilization.

CHINA THROWS SUPPORT BEHIND 'OCCUPY'...

Protesters want charges dropped or they'll clog up courts...

What I think is, it's a free country. If you can make a million, god bless.

The problem I have is government bails you out, and they still find a way to stick us. This whole problem started when government and BILL CLINTON said every person should own a home. I AGREE. ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. THIS IS HOW IT ALL GT STARTED. People making 50 thousand a years getting a mortgage for $600,000. What did they think was going to happen.

Ultimately, reform isn't going to cut it

They put salary caps on pro sport teams, can't see why not it wouldn't work elsewhere.

The leagues and their unions agree to salary caps. The government does not implement them.

I thought the USA was the land of opportunities, not the land of guarantees........you took out a loan, whether it be mortgage, educational, or credit card debt.......pay it off, I have......and I'm putting two kids through college and they will owe zero, when they graduate.......this is on a UPS salary and disability payments over the last 2 years........I've never accepted anything from the government, even if they indicated I was "entitled"........it's a matter of sacrifice and priorities
