OF COURSE I don't have a problem! Why would I? I'm all in favor of anyone who can elevate themselves to a totally independent of government assistance because if WE ALL including YOU were using all our talents and energy in making ourselves independent
there would be a lot more happiness in this world.!

MY point was the totally biased and tremendous hatred people like you and those envious of CEOs that make less per decision affecting more people's lives then most people!

That's the problem! Bias against people that strive to be better, wether a business person, athlete or actor!
That same bias against business people should be against the athlete or actor then!

There is no comparison here. Athletes are not paying workers so little that they collect welfare. Athletes have a very short career, while CEOs "work" into very old age. Athletes don't get golden parachutes. Athletes are paid so much to feed the ego of the really rich.

So why are you complaining about ME pointing out the HYPOCRISY of the thread ."Median CEO pay crosses $10 million"
Evidently the point went way over your flat low sloped brain!

It's what is called "Perspective" that the "Median CEO pay crosses $10 million" didn't provide...
Once again slashing and bashing CEOs that make decisions that affect millions of lives WHILE our Country's CEO can't even figure out what to do with the VA!
Why bash CEOs that get paid for the decisiveness in hiring people around the CEO that are effective and that make decisions affecting ALL our lives?
So you should open your mind instead of proving what most people think of you !

Speaking of hypocrisy, what's the hypocrisy of thinking CEO's don't make enough but teachers make too much?

Speaking of hypocrisy, what's the hypocrisy of thinking CEO's don't make enough but teachers make too much?

Prove it!
Where in the hell has there been anyone complaining about teachers? Prove to me there are as many complaints about that as there are about CEOs!

Also how many CEOs do you think make over $10 million a year?

FACT!
Median CEO Pay Crosses $10 Million
It is rare to see such a misleading headline. It is simply far from the truth, but news outlet after news outlet is running with the absurd claim. According to the Census Bureau, at the end of 2103, there were 400,400 CEOs in the U.S. Of those, 92% earned less than $1 million, never mind $10 million. Only 2%, according to the CB data, earned over $3 million. 77% earned less than $500,000.

So what is with the misleading headline?

It turns out that AP is only talking about companies in the S&P 500.
That is, it is not about overall pay, but the pay of CEOs at some of the largest companies in America.

LOL. These players pay the same 39% tax the CEO's and the rich do. Still doesn't get rid of the fact that some of them are snobs, though.

 

[boilermaker55]

What the crowd on the right doesn't seem to understand is, this is a multifaceted problem. It's not just about taxes but they always gravitate to the one dimensionally focused mind they have.The very notion of how the top take a disproportional share of the profit is the problem.
No matter how much they argue it is their right, they take away the right of collective bargaining because the workers want their Fair share.

What is "their fair share"???

Here is an industry and you tell me where "Workers" fair share would come from???
Health Insurance industry.
NOT being economically salient.. you probably won't understand much less believe this BUT.
Are you aware that for every $1 in insurance premium that comes in 80¢ goes out in paying the claims? I know you don't believe and here is the proof!
As of 2007, the average US medical loss ratio for private insurers was 81%
Loss ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So what are the health insurance companies "EVIL" profits as percent of premiums?
I've posted several times before about the profitability of the "Health Care Plans" industry, see posts here and here, and reported previously that the health insurance industry ranked #86 by profit margin out of 215 industries, at 3.3%. -
CARPE DIEM: Health Insurance Companies Rank #88 by Industry Profit Margin, Earning $100-200 on Avg. per Policy

3.3% and THAT's BEFORE taxes!
So that is AFTER subtracting 15.7% for:

A) pay salaries, utilities,office rent,computers, supplies,
B) make a profit because STATE insurance regulators require companies to have reserves to pay future claims... "reserves" come from evil profits!


AGAIN remember 81% of revenue PAYS CLAIMS!.. i.e. Medical loss ratio!

3.3% profit used to build reserves AFTER paying taxes!

So where would you get more money for "Workers fair share"????

Of course all this goes WAY over your head as you were lost at the "medical loss ratio" issue!



So that leaves out of
