    Please, mod parent up.

    Also, remember that when private business fails, the investors lose. When government fails, all its citizens lose.

    "There is nothing self serving---only responsibility to its share holders". What a contradiction. Right action demands serving all people and the most in need first not shareholders. In plain terms a corporation is about the essence of pure evil.

    I believe you are both mistaken. A corporation has responsibility to provide value to all its STAKEholders. Meaning everyone with a stake of some sort in the company. Share holders being just one.

    hopefully the courts will call BS on that.

    How about rather than hoping the courts legislate from the bench you get a hold of your senator and/or congressman?

    think about where your interests really lie

    Translation: join our side and help us use government to stick it to the people that have more than us.

    How can anyone believe it's moral to take a larger percentage away from someone just because they have more? If everyone paid income tax at the same rate, people with more income would pay more money by virtue of the fact that they earn more. Provided they didn't break any laws to get the income, why do we have to use government to take a higher percentage just because they earned more than we did?

    Typically the more you are paid, the less productive you are.

    So?

    When did it become government's job to make sure everyone's pay is fair? If you don't like your pay, do what it takes to change it. Don't use government to punish others for doing what it took to get the well paying jobs.

    Those who support said whackjob with ever more ridiculous excuses are worse.

    Unlike the whackjobs who support Obama and the ever more ridiculous excuses for his bow to the King of Saudi Arabia?

    The Couric interview was obviously hostile and Palin was trying to avoid getting caught in a trap. What's Obama's excuse?

    because society doesn't give them any choices that are more attractive to them.

    Unlike all the rest of us, right? I'd be snorting coke off a supermodel's ass right now, but society didn't give me that choice. So, I had to take a job in IT instead...
