Does Mitt think this is okay?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Profits at big U.S. companies broke records last year, and so did pay for CEOs.
The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm.
That was up more than 6 percent from the previous year, and is the second year in a row of increases. The figure is also the highest since the AP began tracking executive compensation in 2006.....
......Military contractor General Dynamics stopped paying for country club memberships for top executives, though it gave them payments equivalent to three years of club fees to ease "transition issues" caused by the change. (Yes cause we all know the horrible hardship that sudden losing your country club membership can be!! 
obviously Mitt - thinks this is okay
[ In Reply To ..]what concerns me is that citizens dont seem to mind. i dont understand why people are not outraged and raising their voices. (I have to keep in mind that my family is raised, so I have more time to keep up on issues and think about things than those younger). I think our poor education system, consumerism and shallow moral values contribute to the disinterest. Reluctantly I fear that things will have to get a lot worse in order to awaken the apathetic public. Maybe losing a home or a family member due to lack of insurance will make people rethink the relative value in their lives of suspicion of birth certificate or past acquaintance versus executives earning 400 times more than workers.
Agree with everything - except
[ In Reply To ..]IMO CEOs do not EARN 400 times what employees do. It's just what they are paid or, more accurately stated, what they manage to exploit from them and their families.
picky . . . but accurate! - winkwink

Read All About It. News Flash. Just Read About What TrumpMar 19, 2016
Just hearing and reading about this today. Thousands and thousands of Latinos are rushing to apply for citizenship here to vote against Trump. In Texas they have 750,000 who are eligible for citizenship, in Arizona the number is around 139,000. One lady who has been in the US for over 20 years is now applying for citizenship. Most say the cost of becoming a citizen has been their main drawback, that being $680.00 but now even the legal ones feel threatened by what Trump has spouted off about. Tr ...

Okay, so I've got a tumor in my parotid gland that needs to be excised. Radiologist leaned towards benign; surgeon leaned toward malignant, as the tumor has tripled in size over 6 months and now there is another nodule in my neck area. My CEA is also elevated into the 4s; not a huge elevation, but elevated nonetheless. My H&H are also concentrated. Neither of these are reassuring. My surgeon did say an elevated CEA is usually more associated with colon cancer t ...

“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said on Wednesday, The Huffington Post reports. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol. If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.” The thing is, as Speaker of the House, she had no authority to arrest anyone. Sounds like she wants to feel important. Juvenile one-upmanship. ...

No poster on this board will determine if someone will be banned. Do not send me a message telling me to do my job and ban posters. Especially when I read the message and there is nothing wrong with it and it's discussing the topic. I've made it clear that all posters are allowed to voice their viewpoints on political issues. I will not ban anyone because you do not agree with them and don't like what they have to say. Nobody is keeping anyone from e ...

hid her pregnancy and gave birth to twin boys in her parent's house and smothered them so her parents wouldn't hear them cry. She hid the babies' bodies in the laundry basket where her dad later found them. So...just curious if this is acceptable to some of you who declare women have a choice. Perhaps it would have been better had she went to a doctor and had the doctor deliver them breech and suck their brains out and crush their skull before he delivered their ...

So Eric Holder has done nothing but criticize the AZ immigration bill but admits he has never read the 10-page bill. How can you criticize something when you haven't even read it. How can you give factual information about what is contained in the bill if you haven't read it? Seriously.....what is it with dems? They pushed Obamacare through and most of them...if not all...didn't read the bill. However, the pubs and many citizens who were concerned abo ...

This is a political board for discussion of political issues. This board is not for general messages claiming posters are being run off the board. Do not post a generic message telling new posters to not get discouraged, etc. Insults are coming from all sides. One party does not dominate over another when insults are being thrown. Everyone here is an adult and I'm sure we know how to ignore certain messages. This is a political election year and emotions are high.&n ...

I will be spending the weekend going through all posts, but if its as bad as what I'm reading now it's going to be a long weekend. On the issue of Clint Eastwood. He was called a foul and disgusting name. It got deleted. If someone called George Clooney that I would have deleted it too. If someone says something about Obama it stays just like if som ...
DNC Bump...did I Read This Right?Sep 07, 2012
I read that a Gallup poll today shows a 7-point bump in Obama's polling over last week....did I read that right?? I know it will probably come back down some, but that's a pretty healthy bump! Noticed that there was no gigantic balloon drop at the end last night. I don't know if the DNC has traditionally had all those balloons or not in the past, but I suspect it might have to do with the unplanned change in venue, where they weren't planning a balloon drop if it ...

Reading some of the messages and emails I have received I wanted to bring attention to the fact that posts are going past reasonable. It is one thing to call a poster a racist, it is another to state they have committed an act of treason, or is a treasoner. Treason is a serious crime and should not be used lightly, or rather at all. Accusing someone of treason has its consequences and posters can be held responsible if someone files a formal complaint (i.e. lawsuit) against the ...

I've stated many times in the past - This board is not for bullying, ganinging up on, or ridiculing other posters. Telling posters their opinions don't matter, their links are not credible, anything they've ever posted in the past can't be taken seriously because of their moniker, their sources, calling posters stupid, etc. Will not be tolerated. I don't care what party you belong to or if you don't belong to any party. Nobody likes th ...

If you are going to reply to a poster stick to the issue the poster is talking about. I just deleted all replies to one thread because not one reply was talking about the issue she discussed, but instead was ridiculing the poster, and then a bunch of other posters felt the need to jump on the bandwagon in ridiculing. If you want to talk about issues or articles, things of political nature that is what this board is for. If you don't agree with a poster and feel you need t ...

If it is not discussing political issues it will be deleted. I don't care whether your viewpoints are to the right or to the left or in the middle or nowhere at all. If you insu ...

I spent the weekend cleaning up the board. I was even up til 3:00 a.m cleaning up the board and posters are back to insulting each other again. Insults are being removed and if you can't stop insulting it will result in being banned. Stop ridiculing other posters. Discuss issues. If you can't discuss issues then don't post. This is a political board to discuss political issues. Not to come on here and make fun of other posters. Moderato ...

Politics is a hot topic. People need to develop a thick skin, unless you are personally being attacked or ridiculed. I've seen stuff on all sides, but people are expressing their feelings about events, issues, and parties and that is what this board is for.

Nobody is stopping you. Ju ...

I have just deleted an entire thread at the OPs request. It was talking about free speech, which I find it ironic that I deleted a thread about free speech, but since it was her request I deleted it. One post that was particularly disturbing was someone wrote they were going to report another person to Homeland Security. In hindsight I should have deleted that posters post. Invoking the fear of turning someone into Homeland Security is wrong, especially when a poster wrote not ...

Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich.

For those who persist in blaming others here on MTStars who are struggling with our new working-poor reality, saying that the problem is their "attitude," another Ehrenreich book, Bright-Sided, also w ...
