Yo! Dude! How's that hopey/changey thing workin' for ya!?
Hell, I think its time to start demanding free cars from government motors just to stir up the democrat base.
Chains you can believe in!
Minimum wage and now maximum wage?
Special favors get special waivers?
We are now a Marxist oligarchy.
This is making me crazy. I’m self employed in a modestly compensated profession, so I don’t earn a huge amount of money, but I can survive comfortably by my standards.
I don’t begrudge other people what they earn and, in fact, I depend on other people around me earning more than I do so that they can hire my services.
And yet a report was recently released on how much more government workers make over the private sector. Not just in wages, but in benefits and perks. Enormous differences! But it doesn’t surprise me as 37% of the government workforce is unionized.
Simple solution: propose single-payer for law services. This is perfectly reasonable because legal services are, in fact, a Constitutional right.
In fact, there are a lot of good free-market reasons to have single-payer for legal care and it would be very popular and would immediately lead to salary caps.
And what would all the Democrat politicians (who are almost uniformly lawyers) do then?
If they want to play class warfare, we should fight back.
I have always wondered...
...if congress has the authority to establish a “minimum wage”...
...then why don’t they have the authority to establish a “maximum wage?
Are they going to go after the professional athletes next? : )
Secretary General has decreed that Capitalists need to be dealt with.
Government is the answer.
Join the party comrades.
How much more damage can these idiots do to the US economy before the elections in Novermber!
How much more damage can that fool in the White House do in three years before he is thrown out on his ear!
Can someone explain to me what benefit that King Obama thinks he will get by setting caps on executive salaries in the private sector? I understand he is a little commie....but what is the commie idea behind capping salaries? Why do they believe that that brings more money into the government? How does it even transfer wealth? Just because an executive makes less money doesn’t mean that the company is going to hire more people or pay their employees more.
All I can figure is that it is just one more way that they are trying to collapse our capitalist system. Any thoughts?
>> The administration takes this as indisputable proof that high salaries are not needed to keep executives in their jobs.
These nitro-salaried executives are NOT responsible for the 12 trillion dollar debt DC created - yet, they’re somehow at fault for contributing to the Country’s financial problems.
I remember another leader who tried the same thing with Messerschmitt AG back in the early 1940s.
Great! I can’t wait to see what Oprah’s salary cap is. How about Sean Penn? Tom Hanks? Barbara Walters? Let’s start with the news/enterainment industry.
Does no one remember that Sor0bama said early on that no one should make more than the President?
