Pay caps and asshats.

Most of America (at least on the hardcore liberal side) are behind the recent pay cap proposal. It sounds like a good idea, and it probably is. I like to hear CEOs and executives complaining that there shouldn't be pay caps and what not, but I'm not going to listen to them. They're the asshats trying to cover their back. Even if they're good at their job, that doesn't mean that they deserve ridiculous bonuses and huge salaries. A five-hundred thousand dollar pay cap isn't bad, you're still making more than almost all Americans, and you still have all that money you earned before the pay cap. That should be enough to make them shut up and deal with it, even if the only thing the pay cap does is make Americans happy.

Either way, I'd lke to see pay caps for rich bastards that took on too much risk. Anyways...

The only American people (besides the exects) that I've seen against this like to think they're purely capitalist. That's fine and dandy, but you aren't living in a pure capitalist country. If it were, there would be a host of large companies (or just one) that owned all services offered by killing off all the other competitors. But that doesn't happen in America, we have Anti-Trust Acts and laws to prevent monopilizing. Monopolies aren't bad to me, as long as the don't raise prices beyond their fair market value, because I don't want to pay fifty bucks for toothbrush.

Also, I bet you all the loser Socialists are for this pay cap. Socialism isn't bad (neither is Communism), but it just doesn't work. People are too greedy. That's one of the reasons why the housing market fell, and banks started going under. It's not the only reason, but it's a big one.

Yeah, I'm done.
