The closest you came to answering his question in your rant was this... "Go punch a time clock and be held accountable and rewarded for your efforts" I haven't been paid hourly since I was in college the first time. Are you still punching a clock? Your career hasn't gone too well, huh? I guess that explains your bitterness. Now, I am being held accountable, regular performance reviews, you know. So it looks like you are claiming only hourly workers have real jobs. Which raises the question, why the concern over CEOs? Or, are you like i-node who likes to pretend they are hourly also? By your measure, they don't have real jobs and probably have never even seen a time clock. I'd point out the other inaccuracies or self-contradictions in your screed, but I don't want to spend that much time...

>A real job? >Seems the democrats here are for unions but don't belong to one. I would if I could. >For the middle class, but you're not middle class. I am, for NYC. >For limiting private sector executive pay as long as it's not your salary. They can cap me at $500K. No complaints here. >You want to limit executive's pay where they have failed? Hell, fire their ass! How stupid are you to want to keep them around? I don't think that's an option. >For huge tax hikes to fund spending bills on projects which Americans do not want. Now we're leaving the realm of the discussion. >You want a real job? Go punch a time clock and be held accountable and rewarded for your efforts, not penalized as is the current atmosphere poisoning America. Rewarding failure is the fastest way to ensure failure, not prevent it. >Do you have a real job? I'd say so. You're just ranting. -Z
