>> Today, the SEC proposed a rule to require companies to report that ratio every year. Why on earth would anyone be required to report such a thing? That's ridiculous. The bigger question is why are you not outraged that CEO salaries are off the chart these days?

Compassionate Conservatism, cont. If I were not so amused I would be appalled: Give Back? Yes, It’s Time For The 99% To Give Back To The 1% I’ll let you read it in wonder and amazement. Essentially, this mugg, Harry Binswanger, tells us that we should be grateful that the 1% let’s us live at all, we should know our place, and dammit, we should be grateful that they just don’t Galt-like disappear and let us microbes wallow in our own filth. Kiss my pretty pink ass, Harry Binswanger. It’s rather breathtaking, and a worthy read if your blood pressure happens to be trending low. I know of at least one person in Ft. Wayne NJ who was revived from being clinically dead just by having someone read the opening paragraph. It’s true. ( Forbes) Contributor Harry Binswanger I defend laissez-faire capitalism, using Ayn Rand's Objectivism.
