Who cares, all losers running anyways... A once respected position, is now a joke job (thanks Barry O)..

When that idiot got the job, things are now just funny, in a bad way... Hopefully he drops dead soon.

He's doing them no favours. He's an embarrassment, and is dragging the GOP loony right.

Lol not like hes doing any more harm than the religious right has already done to the legitmacy of that "party"...no one under the age of 50 can vote for a repub any more without feeling totally embarrased. Your basically voting for some loon who thinks creation is real (or atleast acts like it, when asked in public).

the generation just before mine. they use to be called Dixiecrats. They kept voting against their own interests and for the 1% because of "black people".

Doesn't matter anymore. My feeling will reflect on how much taxes I pay or don't pay. I sure as hell won't pay for bullshit or be forced to.

Who cares? Lessening a CEO pay (as if its a large population

) would have what effect on wages? I will tell you. None.

Why not find a real problem and address it. CEO pay, give me a fucking break. You could make their salaries all one dollar and the average worker salary would remain the same. There is no correlation at all with their salaries as you have shown already with your shitty graphs.

I agree with this 100%. But let's let 240 chime in on this. After all he has an MBA.

Give it up. Tim's the new breed of Nazi. People such as he demand equality but only from those they consider better off and what they refuse to earn they will take. In his version of Utopia he's Napolean of Animal Farm fame. And us? We're the expendable ones. Shangri-La? Nope. Glue factory.

Here is your wage problem. Corporatists with their lobby money have bought and paid for Hillary and most of the Republicans. The big time Democrat donators like Apple, Microsoft and Facebook in silicone valley import their engineers so they circumvent USA engineers who want and deserve more. Big time Republican donators like Walmart, Tyson, BP, Ford want cheep offshore labor and or illegals to drive down wages here on our soil. Unions are so corrupt they continue supporting Democrats who take care of each other at the top and fuck the honest men/women in the trenches.

As long as lobbyists and Wallstreet own our politicians, Dem and Rep, nothing will change UNLESS we come up with a businessman billionaire who will CLOSE the border and impose a tariff of 35% on every fucking corporation (like Ford) who builds a factory overseas and tries to bring their product back across our border.

Lets go find that person. Someone who thinks about Americans before he does his golf swing. Jobs before lavish parties. Families before blow jobs from interns. A man who does not give a fuck about his legacy because he already has one.

CEO pay is = their "replace-ability" costs.

There are only a handful of people in the world capable of running a state or running a massive corporation. There are hundreds of millions of people that can be trained in a month or less to do most jobs in the USA. That is why the CEO makes 500 or 600 times. They have a unique set of skills, experiences, relationships, networks, and creativity required to run a ship worth billions and thousands of employees.

Lebron james makes $250,000 per game, and will be near $400,000 PER GAME after the new 2016 TV contract... and he's worth every cent, thanks to the tickets/TV sales/shoe/jerseys, etc. You can't just "replace" a lebron - unique blend of talent, marketability, long-term durability, etc.

The Highest-Paid CEOs Are The Worst Performers, New Study Says

Across the board, the more CEOs get paid, the worse their companies do over the next three years, according to extensive new research. This is true whether they’re CEOs at the highest end of the pay spectrum or the lowest. ....

So you're saying that it's not the "contribution" to society and making it a better and more productive place that matters? That it's the abundance or the scarcity and demand of a given skill set and the wealth they generate that justifies someone who can throw a baseball 90 mph or through a hoop making tons of money over a teacher that are actually educating people and making them more productive?
