From
Atlas Shrugged, Directive 10-289:
- All workers are bound to their jobs and can neither leave nor be fired under penalty of one year in prison. The Unification Board, reporting to the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources, possesses judicial authority. All citizens upon turning 21 must register with the Unification Board which will assign them jobs in the best interests of the nation.
- All businesses must remain in operation and cannot close under penalty of nationalization and confiscation of property.
- All patents and copyrights are to be turned over to the government by the use of voluntary Gift Certificates. The Unification Board will license those processes to all applicants to eliminate monopolies. All brand names and private trademarks are abolished.
- No new inventions shall be produced or invented. The Patent Office is suspended.
- All business establishments will produce the same amount every year as they did in the baseline known as the Yardstick Year, to be enforced by the Unification Board.
- All citizens must purchase the same amount of goods every year as they did in the Yardstick Year, to be enforced by the Unification Board.
- All wages and prices are frozen.
- All cases arising from this directive are to be decided by the Unification Board.

I didn’t realize that part of the czars’ job description is to shift blame away from the ‘bama when it’s not practical to blame Bush. I guess SNL was right-not only has he not done squat, but it will be his continuing policy not to do squat.

How close a correlation do you think there will be between the amount various corporations and their executives donated to Obama and the amount of pay they get keep?
To: Steelfish
Yes, Mildred, we do have a Dictatorship and will until we decide not to have one any more.

Can’t get away with the shell game.
Obama appointed the dude.
The “Czar” only has authorities given by Obama.
No oversight or approval is needed except Obama’s.
Its Obama solo and the tune has nothing but sour notes.

Back in the sixties the government forced the Dupont family to divest themselves of a controlling interest in GM. The result was supposed to be management closer aligned to the interest of shareholders. The actual result was a management that focused more on the short term. A wealthy family like the Dupont’s looked at how to maintain and build longterm family wealth since they had little need for current income.
This limitation of pay will likely encourage even shorter term thinking. Any form of delayed compensation could be subject to government confiscation just before it is paid out, while it would be almost impossible for the government to recoup money already distributed. Grab the money quick before the government can interfere.

The spin is plausible deniability but at some point the chief executive must take responsibility for his direct reports.

B.S. Obama is merely hiding behind Feinberg.All statements and decisions must be approved in advance by Der Fuhr... President Obama. To suggest otherwise would be unpatriotic.

This is why Czars are unconstitutional. Anybody with that kind of free-standing authority needs to come before a congressional body for advise and consent or stand for election.
