CEO Salaries Increase During Recession

[PLC1]

Marxism only ever sought to re-direct the plunder.

Which is true enough, but has nothing to do with US politics.

For the organizer in chief he needed to continue to feed Wall Street but redirected much to unions and away for certain other sectors.

Which is why unions are thriving, while the poor CEOs are barely making ends meet.

Shells drug marxism into it, take it up there hoss

The union pensions and current leadership god a lifeline while both they and the administration sold te actual active members down the river.

And try re-reading my post, TARP and the bailouts insured CEO bonuses in an effort to insure support for the next electi0on and in thanks for all tha money that elected the organizer in chief last time.

and you came along and gave us an example of exactly what he was talking about.

TARP was the previous administration.

Now you're saying that the bailouts were done in order to give the CEOs bonuses in order to get their support in the next election? Is that really your contention?

Does that mean that the redistribution of wealth you're talking about was actually a redistribution to the very wealthy?

Is that Marxism?

do you ever wounder how the tea partiers don't just have there heads explode with such logic?

Doesn't matter if you raise them or not. They still won't pay them.

Corporations like Google only pay 22.5% with the rate of 35% corporate tax now on the books. People like Kerry only pay 17% when the rate is now 38%.

One should go to Forbes.com and check out the wealth of the billionaires for the past two years, and see how their wealth has increased. Slim in Mexico City gained 13 billion, as did Bill Gates. Buffet gained 11 billion. Soros only gained 3 billion. And that was just from 2009, to 2010.

So, who is this recession hurting?

Can you provide some support for the tax claims? Also go ahead and provide earnings reports for those companies (like google) etc etc...

The Tea Party dislikes Bush nearly as much as they dislike your Dear Leader. You hate Bush, but love the Skinny Socialist. Do you see any inconsistency in your views and the consistency in the Tea Party's views?

Both presidents were/are big spenders. The Tea Party is against big spenders no matter what party they represent. Of course, you would not know this due to your mental condition and your inability to comprehend news sources other than MSLSD.

Sorry I have been gone so long. However, here is the corporate tax dodge using Google as an example:

Also, Warren Buffet has spoken often of how he pays a lower rate then his secretary. Having said that, here is the latest report on the topic:

The Rich need to be taxed higher.

The Rich need to be taxed higher.

Wouldn't matter how high you put the tax rate they will never pay that amount. Started way back in the early 1900's when old man Rockefellor became the first billionaire. He began setting up the shelters still used by the wealthy today.

Same is true of the corporate tax. It was a ruse used by politicians to make the people think that the mega corps were actually contributing to the tax roles.
