Work harder at what, screwing other people. I've worked with my hands my whole life. I've worked HARD, I'm not rich. I have no stomach for increasing my personal wealth on the backs of others.Redneckman said:
Nothing more disgusting than a bunch of paper pushers, wheelers and dealers talking about hard work.
Just face it, you don't believe in capitalism. You don't believe in rugged individualism. You want everybody to have equal outcome, no matter how much risk they take, or how hard they work. You seem to think pounding nails, which alot of people can do, should pay as well as being a brain surgeon. Don't deny, because that's what you're saying. It didn't work in the Soviet Union. It won't work here. Wake up.
Capitalism is an ugly system but the best we've found so far, unregulated capitalists become monsters such as United Fruit and what they did in Latin America.
Nobody said anything about equalizing anybody, can you read kid??? We were talking about the highest earners paying their fair share, not knocking them down in socio-economic status.

If management is so easy, why do so many companies fail?

Regulation is the opposite of capitalism. Your example btw is hysterical, given that absent governments propping up UF it never would have gotten as powerful as it did.
Why aren't bananas, Cadillac limousines, aquarium aerators, etc. all subject to this "fair share" pricing model?

Why, when so many companies fail, do managers get golden parachutes to the tune of millions of $?
Why is failure rewarded in the business world?
Why do we have a management failure as our presdent?
I wasn't thinking about managers anyway. I was directing it more toward the people that play the stockmarket and call it work. Or the folks that enter politics to "make a difference", (make a difference in the size of their wallets).

Get a clue, kaya, seems to me people who are winners of life's lottery paying 39% of their income to the federal government is "enough". By taxing them at confiscatory income tax rates, that's exactly what you're doing, is knocking them down from their socio economic status. You ever get a job from a poor guy?
What party are you talking about neck? I'm not constrained to one parties ideology like you obviously are. If you want to think I'm a democrat that's OK. Much rather be associated with them than the republicans. And you're right the Heinz Kerrys don't pay enough. If you investigate though I can promise you they gave more than 800$ to charity.Redneckman said:
