CEO's make too much money-thus the products cost more money!.

I think there should be a salary cap for all execs but the cap should be based on a base salary plus a percentage of profits made. If this was the case execs would only get a base salary and nothing else if there were no profits.

Any half brained economist will tell you that a salary cap is a bad idea. It's a quick fix for Marxists like Ontario who are jealous of anyone who makes more money than him, even though they may have worked hard for it.

I do not think that private companies should be subject to salary caps... if a private company, such as Terry R's, want's to dole out fat bonuses so be it.

However, if a company chooses to pay their executives enormous salaries and even larger bonuses and ends up on the brink of bankruptcy (or bankrupt), don't come crawling to the government for a bailout. You gave bonuses to executives who drove your private company into the ground... tough for you.

I am at a loss as to understsand how the bonuses given to PRIVATE Sectors are any concern to the general public. If they indeed bother your DO NOT read about them.

If I own a company & I want to give bonuses to my exeutives that is My concern. Now about government meatheads and their bonus totally different matter- that defines "BUL____"

Both those drugs are out of Ontario's price range. It did occur to Ontario that although dumpster diving is highly competitive, medical waste bin diving has been largely unexplored. Ontario dives for discarded anal thermometers from which he sucks the mercury. To complete his medicinal regime he haunts gas stations after they close and snorts the residual fuel remaining in the closed gas pump nozzles and hoses.

If "Ontario" has a high school diploma it should be revoked based on that last post. To think people like him have a vote - holy cow.

Have you stopped combining magic mushrooms and crack pal?

ontario makes a big deal about legal and illegal(?) money only because he gets his pay in jellybeans. And damn those banks with their stupid -no exchanging jellybeans for real money- rules.

yea like 4sur like maybe this is an illeagl made up story 24/7 like fer sur....ahh nevermind.

Private business is exactly that PRIVATE, you want to take your business public and offer shares to the world. Well then it's not a private business is it? Public companies have an obligation to disclose, private companies do not.

Frickin simple!

If my business can generate 2.7 /2.8 million per year and I have limited expenses, guess what I'm doing with my loot? Paying a great accountant to keep as much of it from socialist lazy slobs like the twat and ontario. Allthough I'm still pretty sure ontario isn't quite old enough to collect UI or welfare yet.

"Private or Public,it is still workers getting paid by government`s legal made money,that is made by legal government workers.

Private money or public money is still all legal governments made money.

Private money is just a myth ,just like Santa claus is a myth. And illegally made money, is as real as Santa clause.

So there you have it,all real money is made by legal governments."

Aside from Ontario/Twitless' credentials as a brain doctor/physicist he/she/it is one hell of an economist.
