not lost on me... Like I said john, how would you like to start implementing your ideas? You think Amy would be for your idea of limiting her rewards of running her own business? You're king for a day...give me a list of laws you want to implement.

>I would like to see jobs that pay enough for families that work their butts off to get by. I would like to see the pay scale between top executives and workers narrow to the same point they were in the 80's. I would like to see the folks that help create the the huge and increasing wealth of the upper class at least be able to support themselves and their kids. Well said, man. -Z

I would like to see jobs that pay enough for families that work their butts off to get by. I would like to see the pay scale between top executives and workers narrow to the same point they were in the 80's. I would like to see the folks that help create the the huge and increasing wealth of the upper class at least be able to support themselves and their kids. I'd like to see some of these same things. How you go about it is key though. Executives make way too much $$$, but I don't think that should be corrected by taxing them or having the government get too involved in business. The average shareholders need to have representation on the boards. It's the board of directors that agrees to pay these huge sums to executives. I would be for laws/regulations etc that take back the board somehow, but not big government solutions. Brian
