The gov. should coin money, pave roads and provide for national defense, NOT CONTROL SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN A FREE MARKET, BE IT GOODS OR SERVICES.

It has been proven time and again that CEO's are raping our companies and in turn, our working people and our tax payers. The company I work at for example. Our CEO akes over 400 times more an hour than our highest paid employee. to put that number into a little more perspective, our average employee makes about $20.00 per hour. our CEO makes $8000.00 an hour. This makes no sence to e when we as employees feel that the executive boards are wanting to cut our benefits and healthcare, but they are not willing to take the same PERCENTAGE from themselves. Ask any of them to drop from $8000.00 per hour to $6400.00 an hour and you know where that will get you. That is exactly what a lot of companies are doing right now -- hear them cry they have no money, but have open pocketbooks for anything they want. This is putting what they want into terms the public can understand.
