- In addition to the following post: Watch where these failing CEOs end up. Cancel your business with them or refuse to business with their firms, and send their boards of directors AND the CEOs your reasons why.
While many of these people will never suffer because of their wealth, some will. Even many ''wealthy'' live beyond their means in order to impress others or keep up with the Joneses.
We are winning this battle finally, America! Stand up for our brothers and sisters who are the fabric of our economy!!! - Reply to this comment
- Thaine needs to go, Wagoner needs to go, along with a host of others, the way of Wachovia''s biggest criminal and Washington Mutual''s as well as Countrywide''s. Shareholders are wising up, realizing that these criminals are cutting into their dividends. RISE UP AMERICA, stand up for the consumer, without whom, none of the companies would even exist!!!!!!!
The way we ''regular'' people can do this is support companies that don''t farm out jobs or goods overseas. Support small businesses without the ability to do these things, and let''s spread out the wealth some. They sure don''t mind spreading ours thin.
Keep it up America, the message is being heard!!!! - Reply to this comment

- Why bother? If we''''re all going to end up homeless, why restrain? Indeed, why have morals or anything? Maybe because the future might not be as bad as how we might believe?

The future is still up to US--we citizens are the majority, all this snuck up on us and I for one, am dammned mad!
People just haven''t gotten fed up enough-things like this don''t fix themselves, apathy doesn''t help either. - Reply to this comment
- Unfortunately it takes more than just the two of us, it takes most of the country, I have been just as frustrated as you--too many love to complain about it but do nothing to help-all we can do is stop buying what we don''''t need.

- Please tell me what the lowly consumer can do about it? Stop buying products and move back into caves? The government needs to have the cahounas to stop the outsourcing and have better regulations on the products that do make it BACK into this country....

Where would these big corporations be without comsumers??????
For starters, we can be more selective about what we buy and where it''s made!
There are NO regulations right now, but we out number the corporations---are you "another" one who''s going to wait until SOMEONE does something?? Whats wrong with you??
The "cave" thing is a bit ridiculous don''t you thing? - Reply to this comment
- Until Americans get really sick fo the corporate greed, they will be laughing all the way to the bank, with most products now made overseas, they are at 100% profit.

- And we, the consumer is giving them all this power. We have no one to blame but outselves.
We see it, we want it, we buy it, that simple.
When we''re making purchases, we don''t care where it comes from, who''s running the company and how much money they''re making--WE WANT IT NOW.
We sit here and blame the corporations, but we feed them everyday.
We are selfish, and lack discipline, and for the millions fo people who have a difficult time just buying what they need, we, in part are contributing to that.

- oh they CEOs deserve it! they do all that really important CEO stuff. The people who actually create the wealth deserve to struggle and worry about layoffs. That is Capitalism. The only people more useless and better pampered are investors... talk about yer nanny class.

- Rick Wagoner, chief executive of General Motors Corp., announced earlier this month the company had to close four plants that make trucks and SUVs because of lagging demand as fuel prices soar. That followed the posting of a $39 billion loss in 2007, a year when its stock price fell by about 19 percent, without adjusting for dividends.
And Wagoner? His pay rose 64 percent, to $15.7 million.
