Bill Oreilly was complaining about the outgoing CEO of Exxon Mobil making too much money and Cavuto pointed out that Oil Company CEOs provide a much bigger service to society then talk show hosts who also make millions...Bill was speechless.
Watching the repeat now and Neil is showing what a total idiot O'Reily is.
You're absolutely right!
And who should be the decider, YOU!!
That has to be the most ridiculous statement I've seen here without a ZOT.
This is in no way any kind of CONSERVATIVE thought. You really need to stop jerking that liberal, emotional, knee. It is none of your business, what Exxon, or any other company pays its employees/officers. Neither is it up to you, to decide what anyone "needs", nor how much money is TOO MUCH money for anyone to have.
O'Rielly is a self-styled "working 'class'" ignoramus boor whose envy-driven totalitarian socialist roots are exposed every time he opens his lunatic-left-wing fringe-dwelling mouth.
I also noted that while ranting on in his inimitably economics illiterate manner about how much he loathes America's somewhat free-enterprise and still slightly less than fascistic way of doing business, he also took the opportunity to both compare socialist Brazil's sugar-based ethanol industry to America's ongoing criminally corrupt grain-based ethanol scam.
A boorish ignoramus.
Someday I'd like Cavuto to just smack O'Reilly upside the head and scream: "WHAT IS IT ABOUT CAPITALISM AND CORPORATE PROFITS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU FORMER INSIDE EDITION HACK?!?" But I'll settle for this. I caught the tail end of it and Mr. Bloviator looked somewhat flummoxed. I actually agree with most of what O'Reilly says, but when it comes to the oil companies he's a koolaid drinker.
Spot on! :-)
well put, Capitalism is the best system, it has provided the world with the greatest wealth ever seen. For those who think it is "obscene" I would argue first and foremost that government is obscene with its incessant greed for our hard earn tax dollars. It's sad to see so many upset over what Exxon pays this guy. If you don't like it, don't by Exxon gas. ENVY is the worse of all vices -- it has led to immeasurable misery and death for so many millions.
I'm no socialist but, come on...it's ridiculous.
What a reversal.
What was it you told me on another thread??????? Oh yeah, I remember,'This is America, we're capitalist'. hahahahaha good night.
Well spoken, comrade.
Common cents. ; )
You know I said the very same the other day to my hubbie, but second thoughts tell me that it's the shareholders who need to complain. If they aren't complaining then that's the end of it, unless we want the gov't to control the salaries of CEO's....I don't want that... do you?
Perhaps you are not aware that Mr. Cavuto has multiple sclerosis although he rarely mentions it. I highly doubt even O'Reilly would stoop as low as you mightlike.
Rarely to you is definitely a different rarely to me. He mentions it at least twice if not three times a month.
I support and enjoy the capitalist system.
But when I see a weakness in how it is practised I will speak up.
Nobody to this point has addressed how giving $400,000,000.00 to an outgoing CEO benefits the company. I mean that's almost half a billion dollars, just to exit Exxon. Whatever happened to the luncheon and the pocketwatch?
Indeed. As until recently I was a owner of Exxon and I'm delighted with the return my investment provided. I voted for the BOD at every opportunity and I appreciate the return the company and the board provided me.
I wonder how many of those grousing are actual owners of the company or, like liberals, think they should have a say in everything regardless of a lack of ownership, simply because they know better than the actual owners of the enterprise?
All thoughts of a good socialist, or even a good communist.
Can we assume that you would like to be in charge of how much money others NEED? Will you also volunteer to decide how wealth is distributed?
