Yet the masses still don't grab the reins of these out of control corporations...they don't vote their shares in their own best interests, and let this inbred system suck them dry. :-(

WSJ is better than this, promoting Marxist gobbledygook.

Why aren't the workers the CEO's? Are they 1. Not smart enough? 2. Not ambitious enough? What is it?

Bob Palmer got $53 million for destroying Digital Equipment Corporation and putting 100,000 people out of work. And that was in 1997.

So while some greedy executives are running away with corporate money which should maybe go to stockholders, the pandering politicians are giving away our Social Security money to illegal aliens, money which should go to "us".

Which scam is really getting into our individual pockets?

[Energy Alley]

capitalism isn't well served by little napoleons with an entitlement complex forming a cabal and taking hundreds of millions out of their companies by gifting one another on the corporate treasury.

I'm all for for capitalism but I'm against corporate greed and arrogance, if its stiffing working stiffs to fatten CEO's pensions. A company has the right to decide it can't afford pension costs. But it doesn't have the right to transfer pension money from those who most count on it to those who don't need it. Its an issue of simple justice, not to mention human decency.

Class warfare from the Wall Street Journal?

Them that have, get.
Or – as said on a comic strip way back when, “He who has the gold makes the rules”.

If rank & file workers pensions cannot be funded, then the hell with executive pensions, executive compensation should be first on the chopping block.

The real crime is that Exxon is at the top of the list for pension debt to their workers. In a few years, they will put that off on the taxpayers. And one guy gets a $400 million pension.

It's irresponsible. And it's going to pave the way for more government involvement. I'm not mad that they are greedy. I'm mad that their greed is going to result in more government and less freedom.
