When Romney did this, Freepers called him a Democrat.


Romney IS a democrat in actions, and so is Donald Trump..

as is Graham, McLaim, Boehner and McConnell.. AND TRUMP..
OH! and Jeb Bush.. too.. i.e. Crispy Creme, Kascish and Rubio.. and many others..

Somehow what the government is doing is working for the top 1%. I guess they’re getting what they’re paying for.

I think she is un-electable by mere virtue of having been a CEO. They destroyed Romney. Will be ten times worse with her.

How many of these CEOs are Democrats who support Socialism because it locks out their competition?

Isn’t Donald Trump a CEO?

Trump’s not just a Democrat, he’s a liberal Democrat. He is so far to the left of Romney that he fits in better with Sanders and Obama than any of the GOP candidates.

Gates: supports eugenics, forced vaccinations

Soros: supports Cloward Piven, Black Lives Matter, totalitarian government, a “Jew” who helped Nazis as a kid. Successful hedge fund manager via inside deals- helped lobby for restricting deep water drilling in US, he invested in Petrobras

Buffet: consummate crony capitalist makes insider deals with government. Protected his railroads against Canadian pipeline competition.

Jeff Immelt would be a good one though. GE will corner energy markets when they shut down competing coal plants. Jamie Dimon would also be anther one to go after.

All these people are criminals in my view because they buy undue influence in the federal government essentially controlling government officials. They also promote, in the case of Soros and Gates, some very anti human activities.

Unless we shrink government, we cannot effectively prevent the monster elites from running our lives. Government simply has to be a force for defending individual rights, not a means for globalists to run the world.

When a company has the freedom to pay it’s CEO whatever it wants, yes, that’s a free market.

It’s a joke when Boards basically serve as nothing but “Rubber Stamps” because they are packed with friends of the CEO.

Trump apparently nailed one of the worst abuses of a fiduciary position in contemporary American business. While it is not something for Government to deal with directly; as a shareholder, I would urge him to use the "Bully Pulpit," to keep the focus on the problem, which flows from the fact that no one is really bargaining with Management on behalf of the Shareholders.

Management bargains with Labor, over Labor wages,, but no one really bargains with Management over Management pay packages. The Board of Directors simply cite "peer" situations, based upon other Managements, basically, "managing" the same over-reach in their own Corporations.

The huge rewards achieved by entrepreneurs, by contrast, actually reflect true market evaluations--although often involving a great complex of factors. So this attack is certainly not on the latter, who really do create great wealth.

The big corporations and big government are colluding to restrict free speech IMHO. This must stop and I would be deporting H1B visa holders who work for these big companies if I were President.

But you do understand that my microphone isn’t owed to you in the name of free speech, right?

I agree too. CEO and upper management pay comes right off the bottom line for shareholders. Basically they are parasites, as most major US companies run themselves from middle management downwards.

Mr. Schilling tweeted his concern about “Islamic terrorism” off air and for doing that off air was taken off the air.

The agenda of the big corporations is to build a world economic order and treat Islam as a ‘religion of peace’ just like political leaders of the Republicans (George W. Bush) and Democrats (Barack Obama) have been doing since 9/11.

Keep talking about private property rights all you want to, especially as the terrorism worsens in this world.

We need to be able to speak freely about the terrorist threat and fight it without fear of losing our jobs.

Agree. Something is broken it seems as we can’t get a hold on CEO pay. It is disgusting but government will likely just make it worse.
