Bernie Sanders.....Can you smell the burn ???

False equivalency. Actors and athletes are not the same as CEOs of publicly traded companies. I say That because actors and athletes don’t lay people off.

The complaint is not about how they conduct their business, the complaint is the income they make. If you don't have enough work for the employees you have, what are you supposed to do, pay them sit around the coffee pot?

No. Of course not. But if you have massive layoffs and still pay yourself a $50mil bonus it doesn’t sit well with me. Don’t get me wrong. I am a capitalist and from that POV I agree with you. But for a small part of me it’s tough to swallow seeing a 20+ yr employee get pushed aside while the C Level team pays itself massive bonuses.

How many CEO's do you think get a 50 million a year bonus? The average bonus (usually for companies that are performing well) is about 13 million a year.

CEO compensation surged in 2017

So based on your complaint, you believe that if a CEO has to layoff people, they should make less of a bonus, and then you'd be fine with that?
 
What does a salary of a CEO have to do with Washington? They don't pay the CEO's.
Experts agree the only way to bring CEO pay down is with a higher top tax rate.
I don't give a damn about bringing down CEO pay, I'm interested in bringing up MY after tax income.

But you don't fan the flames of class warfare, and class envy, and aren't consumed by jealousy like he is.
I am happily retired and really pissed off with what the Republicans have done to my country and how they brainwash half the country. You haven't heard about it, brainwashed functional morons...

What was your job prior to retirement?

He was a welfare recipient and probably still is. His claim is that he's a retired school teacher, but seriously......did you ever see an educated school teacher post and communicate like Franko does?

I used a high amount but some do make that and more. For optics, yes I think they should make less if there is a massive layoff. And it goes against my capitalist brain. It is all heart.

There is no freaking way he was a teacher unless he taught Wood Shop or something. Maybe Gym?

Well this is the internet after all. You can be anybody you desire.

In the past, I have met supposed astronauts, published authors, independent wealthy people, business owners, rocket scientists, secret service agents. Me? I'm the only truck driver here. :21:

A slug called Kaykan and another called wobbly....both dumb as dogshit.

He was only right about one matter. CEOs make too much and they do so because of their connections to Washington (my ad lib). Otherwise he is a whacky hypocrite as he is a millionaire himself. Profiting from his fame.

Whatever you are you're a low functioning imbecile. Just sayin'!!

Bernie Sanders has been a freeloading commie his entire life.......doesn't know diddly squat about the central banking system of debt. Yes, he is an even bigger empty suit than the Barrypuppet was.
 
meaning the burning bullshit that spewed from his communist mouth !! lots of promises with no explanation on how to achieve his anti capitalist dream ! you see folks there is a simple reason Bernie hates capitalism ......he was a lazy deadbeat looser that could not hold a job until until he got into politics ! its no wonder he hates successful business that provide jobs for millions of people , he couldnt even successfully be employed by one much less create and run one !
You have to be an idiot to believe republicans explain anything about how to make policy. Bernie actually has details on how to pay for his programs.

You’re from Cleveland so I feel your pain, amigo.
 
He was impressed by their metro stations and cultural stuff like everyone who went there. That is not support for communism- he is for Democratic socialism which is what everyone in the world but you cold war dinosaur brainwashed functional moron GOP voters believe is socialism. Obviously. OMG you're brainwashed.

They are mathematically challenged, and/or purposely lying. You can tax "the rich" at 100% and it wouldn't come close to covering all the freebees they want. Plus it would create hyper inflation and tank the economy and markets.

Bernie’s crowd in Houston- minutes before he takes the stage yesterday (pic on left). Trump’s October 2018 Houston rally on the right, a few hours before he took the stage - and with thousands unable to get into the arena.

They know it, but they are able to convince the sheep into voting for them with these promises.

Un yeah. That’s what makes sense economically. The rich must be taxed. They must be taxed the highest. Obviously there is such a thing as too high, but Bernie’s is nowhere near that. Hell, in the 50’s their tax rate was 90% and that was a time of great economic growth.

Then tax them. In the 1945 the industrial base of the developed world, except for the US was lying in smoldering ruins, anything we did in the 50's would have worked great.

And nobody paid those 90% rates. Would you work for a dollar if you only got to keep a dime of it, and that dime was going to be cut by the State Tax rate?

No matter the tax rate, we seem to be able to sustain a tax rate of 17% of GDP

Get much higher than that and we tip into recession.
