1. So the company is struggling financially but they can afford a $32 mil/year CEO salary?

Fuck this shit. Could it be that these companies are going broke because of these obscene CEO salaries???

2. That.

And the incompetence.

8. George Carlin was right - it's a big club and we're not in it.

3. If you pay somebody $32 million dollars a year to screw up...

... they'll screw up.

I think that's how the U.S.A. works now, it's a kind of market churning, an economy run by vampires.

A business grows big, the vampire insiders suck all the money out, it collapses, and then they grow it again using other people's money and the energies of their abused, underpayed, disposable employees.

Romney is that kind of vampire.

4. Romney is king vampire. That's what Bain Capital is good for.

6. Romney's after the big prize -- fuck up the entire nation and sell it for scrap.

I wonder who Romney is planning to sell us to?

Maybe when he's done we all get sold to the Mormon Church.

Welcome to the United States of America and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Foreign tourists get a free Book of Mormon as they're passing through customs.

7. That's exactly their plan.

The tea party wants to break up our government and sell it to the highest bidder. You know Osama bin Laden's main goal was to bankrupt America - well the teabaggers may have beat him to it. And what better way to get the job done than to elect a soulless vulture capitalist?

5. I've often said....

...that I wanted one of those cushy executive jobs where they pay you millions of dollars to screw up a company and then quit. Looks like this guy got one.

9. The CEO Industry - Legalized Theft from Stem to Stern.

"Fiduciary Law" my ASS (DU has ardent defenders of the "major shareholders only" way of Corporate America). Regulate the shit outta these companies. CEOs aren't lottery winners; they have a job like the rest of us do.

10. Legalized theft on a grand scale - that's about it.
