Hillary Clinton surprises with early attack on CEO pay

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

And the Board of Directors are elected by the shareholders and if you have a 401k investment in your company then you are a shareholder. I just received the proxy form from my employer two weeks ago to vote on whether or not to reelect our Board.

Uh-huh, it's always clean, upstanding and honest:

Boards Don't Care If Directors Are Voted Out By Shareholders

"""Majority doesn't rule for shareholders -- at least when it comes to boards of directors.
Since 2008, more than 200 directors on the boards of US companies have failed to receive a majority of shareholder votes, but in nearly all cases the directors kept their jobs, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
In many publicly-traded corporations, shareholder votes aren't binding. In some, a director only needs a single vote to keep his job."""

Don't work for one of those companies then. Problem solved.

OK, ignore the most salient fact about shareholder votes and publicly held corporations. All that sand your head is buried in....must be tough to breathe.

nice inane rant ... I retired when I was 48.

how about you?

Can you give yourself a raise anytime you want to? ... I can.

So you know what? .. you're an idiot.

Lying sack of shit. The only way you retired was to get on the goobermint dole or inherit money from your parents.

If you're 'retired' why are you talking about giving yourself a raise?

"Retired" means no earned income, no wages.

But you're going to give yourself a raise, huh?

How? By switching hands?

Get a ******* job.

Oh, I retired at 52. Fer real.

A little too early. It's amazing how much money you can spend when you're not somewhere that keeps you from spending it -- Like work.

You're just another dimocrap douche.

It sure is easy to be wealthy and good looking on an internet message board, isn't it?

The fact that you immediately accuse someone else of lying when you're nothing but more pixelated crap on a message board is all we need to know about you.

It's even easier when it's fact, loser.

 

[Papageorgio]

How anyone can say Hillary isn't a part of Wall St. is delusional at best. Add to that her lies. Her age, her temper, she is a poor choice for to criticize others.

She is an old windbag.

good for you. Hows that disability check working out ?

I made the choice to get a good education. I made the choice to leave a few bad companies I worked for in the past. I made the choice to find a good company to work for and I've had no problems whatsoever. Maybe you should make better choices in your life and you'd be less miserable.

Now you see the few in this thread sticking up for her is who she's plays these games with...

her and hubby are both 1%ers yet they still spew this commie/socialist crap

what business do you think would stick in this country if this government puts CAP on what they earn. SERIOUSLY. You Hillary fools think about that

 

[Uncensored2008]

You either allow a private citizen to cut the best deal for a book and sing the capitalism song or you don't.
The analogy between a single book deal and a CEO's annual salary is lame.
Massive thread fail.

You realize that outside of corrupt politicians, authors are paid based on the sale of books, not lump sums, right? Hillary's book is nothing but bribe. No one but rdean and Puddly Pillowbite would actually buy the damned thing....

Worked for the government and leech off the taxpayer, huh?

More BS by the queen. She is an elitist and it is wrong for others to have riches, for her though it's okay because she is special and is blessed with many gifts to give to the peasants.

They're peasants because of post-Carter labor and trade policies which shipped high paying American jobs to more profit-friendly labor markets in communist China, Taiwan and Vietnam. They're peasants because of the post-Carter transfer of the state to large corporations (who fund elections and own our politicians) and who want a lower tax burden for the world's most advanced industrial infrastructure. [And let's not mention defense. Do you know the cost of stabalizing Exxon's Mideast oil fields or the cost of basing the globe to protect trade routes and access to raw material, the building blocks of profit]

Back to the point. The Clintons have done nothing to curb the neoliberal policies that took over under Reagan. They are Republican lite. They too want to give the corporate elite a New Deal, i.e., cheap domestic labor costs, i.e., more in line with the 3rd world where oppressed labor markets live under brutal, freedom hating dictators so Nike can get their sneakers made by workers making less than $3/day.

Bill Clinton, with his pro "Free" Market economic team (lead by Friedmanite Richard Rubin), basically completed the Reagan Revolution and made larger cuts to welfare than any president prior.

You don't know any of this history - and you can't name any of Clinton's economic advisors - because you don't know anything about actual policies. You just repeat tired talking points. And this is coming from someone who agrees with you RE Billary.

Woman with $14 million book advance attacks CEO pay. Media misses the irony completely.

(Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, under pressure from the left wing of her Democratic Party to aggressively campaign against income inequality, voiced concern about the hefty paychecks of some corporate executives in an email to supporters.

Striking a populist note, Clinton, who announced on Sunday she was running for president in 2016, said American families were still facing financial hardship at a time "when the average CEO makes about 300 times what the average worker makes."

She doesn't get $14M annually, like a CEO. She's getting it once, for a book. You missed that completely.

She gets $300k per speaking engagement. What does the tech at the engagement make?
Hillary is a big honking hypocrite.

What politician isn't, muttonhead?

If a group wants to pay her $300K then don't you think that's just the free marketplace at work? You like the free marketplace, right?

ALmost no politician gets 300k per engagement, chucklehead. And the pols who do get big speaking fees dont go around complaining about CEO salaries. Unless they're Democrats and therefore hypocrites.

Sanders: Who knows what Hillary’s running on, anyway?

Bernie Sanders called out the media for its Hillary Clinton freak-out, and the media missed it. This interview on MSNBC took place in the middle of Hillapalooza in Iowa, when dozens of grown men and women chased Hillary Clinton’s van as it arrived as if it were the ice-cream truck on a sunny day. Sanders starts off the interview with a shot at the “Scooby van,” and he probably smirked while doing so … but you’ll never know. That’s because MSNBC thought that the static shot of a media truck and a card table at Iowa venue with no Hillary in it was more compelling than actually showing the guest they had on a live feed:

ALL of it here:
Sanders Who knows what Hillary s running on anyway Hot Air

Pointing out the increasing disparity between worker and CEO pay is hardly Communism or Marxism. Can you define either?

True, but it's hardly any of her business now, is it.

 

[Stephanie]
