9 CEOs paid 800 times more than their workers
This story doesn't surprise me.
The normal nature of American capitalism. Exploit workers an benefit off the backs of their labor. Meanwhile families rely on credit and struggle to provide a decent chance at opportunity for their children.
Exploitation is the very basis of American existence.

Could you explain the reasoning that you used to come to that ridiculous conclusion?

Many of these rich egoists just think this way: "If you don't like how much your boss makes, then simply find a boss who makes less money... It's all about choice. So, exercise your choice and move on". Every worker are just a replaceable pawn for them.

There is a market for labor just like any other commodity.

Most businesses are not created to provide welfare and bloated wages to workers. They are created to earn money. They need to keep wages at market value. That is economics.

The best way to earn a good living is to work hard and smart and don't vote for Liberals that screw up the economy with failed Left economics.

Why does that mean anyone is exploiting anyone?

Based on this recurring topic regarding the outrageous "compensation" of greedy CEOs......it would be somewhat refreshing for right wingers to expand their vocabulary when countering democrats, a bit more than the inane stating of:
"Are you jealous?"........"Envy is a bad thing"......Or, "Get a job so you can become a CEO too..."

The only reason this topic is recurring is because of you people bringing it up all the time. The economy still sucks after 7 years of your crap policies but you refuse to blame the real problem so go all spastic over someone elses paycheck size. When you have no answers you look for excuses and when those fail you look for someone to blame. It's how the left does shit.

Uh, it is the financial aspect. More valuable employees felt that they were not paid properly when their lower value comrades were given huge increases. Customers felt that the increased costs would be passed along to them.

Those are not financial reasons, they are political. If Bobby wants to quit because he's jealous that when he was first starting out he didn't get paid as much as Sally is getting, then his reasons for quitting are political, not financial. If Bobby thinks he can get paid more elsewhere, and convinces someone to do so, then by all means may Bobby find good fortunes in his job search as he attempts to do so. But no matter how much Bobby disapproves of Sally's pay check, the fact of the matter is that Sally's pay has nothing to do with Bobby's pay. And Bobby's quitting his job simply because he doesn't approve of Sally's pay is not a financial issue for the employer. It is a political/morale issue.

Same thing with the clients who bailed. They claim it was because they were worried about their prices going up. That's hogwash. They haven't raised prices, and those clients didn't even bother to see if it would happen. Considering the fact that the company has firmly insisted that they are not raising prices on their customers, and that the most prominent aspect of the media coverage in all of this has been that the owner is voluntarily slashing his $1 million salary to $70K, the excuse that the clients were worried the company would increase prices is impossible to believe. They left for the political spite of it.

B'loney. An employee who quits because a lower performer receives a huge increase and he doesn't is making a financial decision.

The same thing goes for customers who don't want to expose themselves to an increase in fees or disruption of service if the provider goes under.

do these people on the left ever come up a new line. they use the POOR like they use everyone else. They champion abortion so they CAN not claim they care about ANYONE. People are beginning to see right their lines of BS

Here's where your lack of LOGIC comes through......

1. We on the left respect a woman's right to choose, and sometimes that means abortions.

2, We all know that the vast number of abortions are performed on minorities.

3. If there were less abortions, the number of minorities would increase.

4. We also should know that minorities usually and overwhelmingly vote democrat.

5. Ergo, if it was just "political" and we wanted more "lefties" voting and beating the crap from right wingers, we TOO would be against abortions.

No...your innate racism gets the better of you...the democrat party is the party of racism....it fought for slavery, created the klan and jim crow....today, the other racists from the other races also find a home in the democrat party...why? Because they see being in control of the government gives them power over the other races...the Republican party doesn't care about race and kicks out the openly racist, the democrats, they don't care if you are a racist if you help them acquire power over other Americans...

So when you say you know abortions murder minorities.....you are exposing your inner racist.....and your general dislike of other human beings..........

Just heard, close to 94 million Americans are no longer looking for work...that is how you keep the unemployment rate low...just destroy the job market to the point no one looks for work...keep it up long enough and we will have 0 to negative unemployment.....

This is how President Shit for Brains has kept the official BLS rates low.

It is just another one of his many lies.

You do realize what a true MORON you are (along with the other right wing nitwits)

94 MILLION unemployed???

Gee, our population is about 315 million; take away children, retirees, invalids and armed forces....your "source" points out that NO ONE in the US is working (they just hang around message boards swallowing right wing crap?)

FDR s policies prolonged Depression by 7 years UCLA economists calculate UCLA

FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate

Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long years.

"Why the Great Depression lasted so long has always been a great mystery, and because we never really knew the reason, we have always worried whether we would have another 10- to 15-year economic slump," said Ohanian, vice chair of UCLA's Department of Economics. "We found that a relapse isn't likely unless lawmakers gum up a recovery with ill-conceived stimulus policies."

Had the right wing nitwit continued reading the article, even his low IQ would have had to contend with this:


Recovery came only after the Department of Justice dramatically stepped up enforcement of antitrust [which right wingers hate]cases nearly four-fold and organized labor suffered a string of setbacks, the economists found.

"The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes

If you would have understood the article it was Left Wing big government interference that resulted in the US having seven years more depression than the rest of the world. Even post WWI Germany got out of the depression faster than the US.

Like other Panics and downswings the 1929 depression would have been relatively short lived had it not been for the Left Wing interference of shitheads like Roosevelt. That is what the article said. Government doesn't fix things, it breaks things and the Great Depression was an example of that.

Not much different from this jackass Obama failing to establish a recovery after the recession caused by the Barney Queerboy, Harry Reid, Nancy Peloski and the 2006 elected Democrat Congress.

When has significant government intervention ever produced a good outcome for the people?

What socialist, communist based government has ever resulted in the rising prosperity of the people? There isn't a single example of socialism ever raising the people from poverty. But there are plenty of examples of capitalism doing that. How about we just go with what is proven to work?
