What does this have to do with the fact that 90% of the people posting on this thread read the headline but not the article?

Thank you. A man who gets it.

[G.Mason]

Feel free. He may listen to you. He isn’t listening to nay other “conservative”.

[jrestrepo]

I really can’t support McCain (I wanted Fred), but McCain did not say regulate...

Just skip to the end and read that...

Halliburton moved to Dubai last year, and I guess a side benefit is that they’ll be insulated from Obama’s planned “war crimes” prosecutions.

>>>>>>>>>................
you can now GO BACK TO THE RNC and report that FR is not a MCCAIN friendly zone..we are sick and tired of the lesser of two evils shills and party hacks.

[G.Mason]

Okay ... I’ll go quietly to the R/R car. Please don’t hurt me.

MISLEADING HEADLINE ALERT!!!! Read the article. He is not proposing that CEO pay be regulated by the government, only that it receive shareholder approval rather than approval by just the board of directors. This is a meaningless change that is worth it if it buys us lower corporate taxes.

That is what I read too. I thought there was some sort of update to the article that I was missing...

[avacado]

"He supports keeping capital gains taxes low, doubling a tax exemption for children,..."

This child credit that has been going on is nonsense! It was $500 per child under Clinton, then raised to $1000 per child under Bush, and now McCain wants to raise it to $2000 per child.

Hogwash!

That child credit is the amount in taxes that you do not have to pay and if you have paid in that amount or more in taxes you get that back!

Hogwash!

And if you don't have a child you carry the full tax burden with no tax credit.

Hogwash!

Did anyone ask me if they could have a child and if I would pay their share of taxes while they do not have to pay them?

Hogwash!

The child credit is complete Hogwash!

Now you know how I feel... ;-)

Why don’t you read the article? The article says he wants shareholders to approve severance packages, not the govt.

[Carry_Okie]

The real problem is that there is little federalism in laws regulating corporate governance, which was the real purpose of the 14th Amendment, to eliminate Natural Law competition among the States.

[bamahead]

"If I am elected president....under my reforms, all aspects of a CEO's pay, including any severance arrangements, must be approved by shareholders" -John McCain

That Government power must be in one of those invisible amendments.

[B Knotts]

The only conclusion I can come to is that McCain is a fascist, under the classical definition thereof.

What..are you going Vichy on me? Where have all the loud mouths gone?

Conservatives got much of what they wanted, but not all, including judges. I'm not going to give the enemy the whole d@mn boat because you didn't get all your favorite issues licked.

You have to understand how McCain works. He is a moderate, he doesn't want any one group to have too much control, that includes whacked out leftists.

Don't be your own worst enemy.

"Halliburton moved to Dubai last year, and I guess a side benefit is that they’ll be insulated from Obama’s planned “war crimes” prosecutions."

Dubai is every world leaders favorite little potential resort including the leftists. They won't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's like the Sweden of the political world. What happens there stays there.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Why should the Feds regulate how much money a person can make?

Because communists and class warfare whores don't like profits unless it's falling into their own pockets.

Now, into what category does Mcloon fall?

[Doohickey]

Americans are right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs

Americans are right to mind their own darned business.

[CMS]

HAS ANYONE BOTHERED TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!???

McCain said that CEO pay should be determined by the SHAREHOLDERS of the company they work for, which is how it should work in the first place.

[Mark-in-Kentucky]

"I'll go for the commy to hasten the revolution."

I'm not yet sure I 100% agree with this, but I can see where you are coming from. When we keep sticking idiots like McCain in office because they're just a little bit better than the alternative, it is akin to having a painful tooth cavity and putting off going to the dentist because you're afraid. You're just drawing out the pain before something inevitably has to be done about it.
