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".
