why can't people figure out that superstar quarterbacks (Manning), baseball pitchers, corporate execs, entertainers, etc. are paid huge anounts of money because so very few people can do that job. If you don't like it, don't patronize their product......I don't know what you do for a living, but I'll bet that a higher percentage of the general public could do your job just as well, or better, than you do it whereas only a handfull of people in the world could possibly sucessfully operate Ford Motor Company! If I am in charge(and I have been on a smaller scale) and someone runs my company and provides it a 5 billion dollar quarterly profit, I'll kick him/her a couple of million in bonus bucks!
The rage against “Wall Street” and CEO’s crossed over to conservatives when the bailouts occured. IMHO that was planned by Obama. It is easy to place blame on CEO’s with million dollar bonuses as their company tanks. Even easier when my tax money pays it. But I/we need to remember the government was the one bailing them out.
And as far as increased prices, when you just print more money that will be the result. And not allowing us to drill for oil doesn’t help with the gas prices.
