it is none of your or my business what the corporation pays its CEO. ... Your criticism of CEO’s in general is without merit unless you have the tax returns.

LOL you act like this is some sort of secret undiscovered territory, that only the appointed are allowed to discuss, and that multinational free traitor CEO's should remain a protected class. Forget it. The tax records of the super wealthy have been leaking for decades, and it's well known they are gaming the system, via loopholes and other advantages only they can qualify for, so you can stop with the holier than thou soapbox.

It's long past time for a newer, flatter, fairer tax system be considered, determined, and implemented. It won't be easy, as the bankers in control set up the current ridiculous system, on purpose, for their own personal advantage, but average everyday people are getting quite sick of our wannabe overlords. And that distrust, and displeasure, is only going to grow.

The only thing you have said that makes sense is that we need a national sales tax and do away with the system we now have. I have said so for years.

But realistically, if that were to be the law, you would be one of the first to claim you should not have to pay as much as that rich guy and thus would start all of the gimmicks we have today in our tax system Farmers would get this, manufacturing would get that, people making more or less that whatever would get their tax breaks.

A national sales tax should be the same for everyone, whether you are buying a million dollar Derby horse or a bicycle.

However the present system exists because too many people think “the government needs to do something”.

The government is who/what has screwed up the financial system and the federal reserve is probably at the root of it.

As for my (what you believe to be weird) theories, I remind you that regardless of short term escape from reality, money follows laws that are as powerful and as irresistible as gravity, and as a result money always chases the best return.

The CEO’s you rant over are there because they give the stockholders and their customers the best value.And as for their personal taxes, why wouldn’t any sane person attempt to invest his money in a way that he gets the most return and at the same time the most protection from the thieves in DC? He earned it, paid income tax on it and is within his legal rights to keep all that he can from thieves.
