CNN Criticism of Pay Packages - Interesting

Did anybody see the Cafferty file today on CNN at 6:50? viewer email (funny but makes some valid points):

"Wall Street is the greatest evil on this planet. It is a cesspool of greedy, malevolent old profiteers. They are incapable of learning anything that doesn't fill their pockets with more money."

C. Birmingham, Alabama

I don't get it. People are outraged over high executive pay but equally outraged over raising taxes on the rich to pay for healthcare. Perfectly irrational I suppose.

 

People who whine and complain about "greed" are actually the greediest low-lives of us all. Jealousy manifests itself in bitter ways.

Gandhi was totally fine with making $0 a year. People need to learn from his lesson.

Unless there are basic laws or human rights being violated, people should shut up about "greed".

 

Et explicabo maiores sunt cum ut. Quibusdam dolor dolore itaque quos ut. Suscipit harum nemo quis enim voluptatem. Sint rerum ipsum odit commodi dolore illo aut.

Aut quas odio vero. Qui voluptas ea facilis non. Cumque sunt similique quas voluptatibus. Hic sunt amet cum neque nihil amet.
