Of course, the fat cats don't want to see their excesses reined in. Hey, they don't need to go to Las Vegas, we have the biggest gambling casino on the East Coast right here at Wall Street.

The Supreme court needs to be ridiculed, some of their recent decisions defy any sane explanation. Ever since old Smiling Jack took the helm the place has become a disaster.

Our CEOs are overpaid, under worked and run like a herd of cattle. One bellweather sheep mouths off and the rest follow blindly. It is no damn wonder the Chinese are eating our lunch. To paraphrase Sir Winston "Never before in the course of human history have so many owed so little to so few" bunch of damn parasites.

I have said it before and will say it again, there is no man or woman on God's green earth worth more that $800,000 a year, and there are damn few of them.

It's surprising that a management official is not going to like the way the administration stands up to business interests? Obviously the prefer the boot-lickers that were in office before Obama came in.

One thing that is changing. The left is starting to speak the truth. Just last night I heard it said how ridiculous it is that so many people are voteing against their own best interests. I have been saying this forever. (as you all know!!)

The reason seems to be that everyone thinks they will be one of the wealthy one day.

Sorry all, if you are not born into it, it's like playing lotto.

Yeah, the left is really hammering those big companies like pharmaceuticals with their backroom deals.

I guess it depends how much the Dems take in donations

big pharma got such a sweet deal from Bush that the oil industry was jelious

I seriously want the executives at pharmaceuticals thrown in jail and or executed for their crimes against humanity.

Not exactly boot lickers. Bush was a Harvard MBA and a failed CEO himself. Cheney was Haliburton, Rumsfeld was Searle, Condi was Chevron............

What we had with the Bush Administration was a wholly owned subsidiary of multi-national megacorporations.

Who cares? Screw Jack Welch.

I had a friend who idolized this guy. He used to work for GE, here at the former tv plant in Suffolk.
He was telling me one day how Jack Welch made his 401k swell, ".....he got rid of this, he got rid of that,...."
I interrupted him and said, "HE GOT RID OF YOU. So, how long were you unemployed after that, Karl? Seven, eight months was it?" This was followed by silence and a blank stare.

What a nipplehead......

Guess who put them there? You keep harping on how long it is taking him to clean up the farking mess your boys made, took them eight years to get everything FUBAR, but Obama must clean it all up in eighteen months.
