Another Liberal Myth Exploded

[Nosmo King]

So it's considered a myth among the Conservatives that there is such a thing as income disparity? It is considered a myth that the poor are getting poorer while the wealthy are getting wealthier? It's a myth that a struggling middle class does not constitute a drag on the economy?

If the Conservatives keep declaring reality as myth, what's next?

Perhaps they should replace the elephant with the unicorn as the symbol of their party.

It's not hard to find ceos doing bad things.
Apple Friends Hammered for Employment Fraud - Breitbart

Then you should find ALL CEOs doing BAD THINGS ALL THE TIME RIGHT?
EVERY CEO in existence is the bad guy doing bad things ALL the time right???
Should be able to pick up CEOs all over the place! They should ALL be put in jail right???

Nope. Sure sounds like the 350 are getting paid grossly high salaries however. And as was going on with Jobs many are probably working to hold down employees wages illegally. Are you ok with what those tech companies were doing?

Meanwhile 497 labor union officers and employees were paid more than $250,000 last year, Laborers' International Union of North America president Terry O'Sullivan was paid $670,403 in 2014. Go drink your own Kool-aid.

So if you add all 497 together do they make as much as this guy?

GoPro s CEO is now the highest paid U.S. executive - Apr. 17 2015

Pretty sure the answer is no.

Hi compensation is between him, the board, and stock holders its none of your business so shut it.

Ah so all 497 highly paid Union people don't even make as much as one ceo. Go figure.

Easy for you to make accusations... so what "exploitation" and "corruption" are you describing? Have any facts that support that ALL CEOs are exploiting and ALL CEOs are corrupt? Where are your facts OR as LIPs like you are wont to do... YOU take EXCEPTIONS... one offs,, anecdotal stories and make it sound like
ALL CEOs are exploitive and corrupt ALL the time!
Which is the pattern of LIPs. ALL LIPs exaggerate and blow so out of proportion. Just Obama exaggerated 45 million uninsured... NEVER were!
When 10 million were not legal citizens...14 million were eligible for Medicaid but Obama's ineptness couldn't get them enrolled BEFORE ACA and finally the ignorance to count 18 million people that NEVER wanted or needed health insurance! Thus exaggerating and blowing out of proportion JUST to destroy 1,400 companies!
Never were 46 million uninsured but less then 4 million!

GoPro s CEO is now the highest paid U.S. executive - Apr. 17 2015

Pretty sure the answer is no.

The answer is: 497 times $250,000 equals $124,250,000 in SALARIES!!! SALARIES! YOU understand the difference between SALARIES and Stock UNITS???
GoPro salary far far less then $124 million!!!

The 39-year-old GoPro(GPRO) CEO was awarded a package of restricted stock units that at the end of 2014 was valued at an eye-popping $284.5 million.
Technically, Woodman hasn't received all of the stock awards yet. He got them "on paper" in early 2014, but they are paid out monthly over the span of several years, according to filings.

The mega pay day is a reward for turning camera-maker GoPro into a consumer electronics giant that's now worth nearly $6 billion.
Going forward, Woodman will likely receive a salary of several million dollars, but nothing like his 2014 compensation. It's also key to note that due to his big stake in the company, his wealth goes up when the stock goes up.
Restricted stock units, or RSUs, are a common form of compensation that employees can't sell until after they vest and certain other conditions are met. Unlike options, RSUs can be exercised at any price once they vest.

Meh it sucks to be poor maybe they should get off their fat asses and do something about it vs waiting around for the lying liberals to re-distribute some wealth crumbs to them.

Here is a question for you. What's better for the economy, 500 people making good money or one idiot making gross amounts of money?

So the respo9nse is **** the poor. **** the economy. CEOs should pillage as much from the company while subjugating the poor and there won't ever be any consequence.

What a fine policy you promote there!

One myth at a time.

It is noted that you haven't been able to deny the message in the OP...that the CEO makes a mere four times what the average worker makes.

Instead, you produce lies and obfuscation.,...it is telling that you haven't provided links to your fabrications.


So....one more lying Liberal checks in.
Seems to be a glut of 'em.
It appears that they have been sorely wounded either by having swallowed the fable about CEO salary.....

....or that the lie itself has been exposed.

NOT SALARY though! NOT SALARY... The CEO will NOT make this money until CERTAIN conditions are met!
HE IS NOT PAYING TAXES on this $284 million which is PROOF OK??? The union guys while maybe not paying MUST pay taxes!
Do you comprehend the difference between Salary and RSUs????
He CAN'T sell the stock. It is RESTRICTED!
He's not paying TAXES on $284 million I can assure you for his 2015 tax return!

Yes he will pay less in taxes than if it was salary. That is part of the game. With lower taxes it is really better than a 284 million salary.

But the issue is comparing compensation which the GoPro WoN"T GET unless HE performs! Do you understand?
RSUs are not taxed as salaries because they haven't been received! Do you understand?
Let the union guys incorporate! great! Sell stock in the union! GREAT! Get shares in the companies they sign contracts with Great! That's when everyone wins!

Disparity????

You imbecile....the argument you're making is that a Chief Executive Officer shouldn't make far more than the guy who fills the water cooler.


David Mamet responds:

1. The adolescent, the Marxist, and the Liberal dream of “fairness,” brought about by the state. Silly. This would mean usurping the society decision that the skilled worker is entitled to higher pay than the unskilled. This decision is never pronounced by any authority other than the free market. It was arrived at via the interaction of human beings perfectly capable of ordering their own affairs.

1. 1. There is the adolescent standing aside the street sweeper, who presents himself to government demanding compensation based on his needs, or his goodness, in equality to the physician…urging on him the courage to demand his equal pay! The Leftist has a simple prescription for the inequality of pay…you, the taxpayer, pay him more.
   2. Marxism: tax the surgeon more so the good-willed other will feel momentarily better, implementing their vision of a perfect world, a Utopia.
