This was a very sickening article. These people are the worst people on earth today. There is no justice if there is no punishment for them. They are so evil, there are hardly words to express it. The only response is to bring these people so low, in so much pain and hurt, that they will cry out in terror and sorrow and fear every day.

It may take many years to bring justice to these people. What we can do most useful now is to record their names and their roles, so that they can''t escape retribution in times to come, once the American people have suffered and fully understand what these guys have done to us. I can envision a website that simply lists CEO''s and corporate freaks and anonymous accusations against them; that way when the mood of the people is ready they can be brought to justice. Many of them will escape justice through death in old age, sick Hell-loving fiends like Jack Welch or Alan Greedscam for example; for those it is necessary that their children and families bear the responsibility. There must be justice, no other response is possible. For every day of their arrogant domineering lives there must be one day of abject terror and pain for them. Only then can we again believe in the American system and be successful as a people.

There''s just vulgar amounts of compensation out there for a few individuals. That goes for celebrities and pro athletes too. Tiger Woods is worth almost a billion dollars for playing golf and doing endorsements. Just wrong. Tax these people at least 10 percent of their income and give the windfall to those who deserve it. Those who protect lives, those who save lives. Soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, etc all deserve more than these pampered elitists.

CBS should be an expert on this topic. Their CEO, that is the CEO of CBS, L. Moonves made $67.6M in 2007.

Why is this a surprise. These people have no concept of an honest days work and laugh at the people who do. In publicly owned companies it''s the share holders that are the idiots.

But that''s an important ratio that allows American auto-executives, for example, to sell American''s cars that break down in 5 years instead of the global average of 8, and to completely miss the need for hybrid vehicles cuz they were so busy propagandizing Americans into buying SUVs. I mean, it takes a special leadership ability to convince Americans to buy cars that actually INCREASE the gasoline they need to run them. As oil-man Bush would say to American auto-execs, ''heck of a job, Brown-noser''

About 2 months ago, there was an Article about Pay Ratio between those at the bottom and top of the ladder.

Country Ratio (CEO/Custodian Salary)
USA 433
Japan 185
Germany 97
India 86
China 76

I am sure about 433 because I was very upset at that moment.

What I know is that half of America is owned by 1% of her population. If you want to support that 1%, vote Republican. For me, I''ll vote for the other 99% of America.

You are so blind. France did not become communist. They simply beheaded their elite class. Americans need to do the same.

I didn''t say France became communist - I was referring to the part of your comment about re-distributing the wealth to 95% of the masses. That, my friend, is communism (or socialism if you don''t have a big enough gun), which explains my nyet and Cuba comment. Simple, really.

Don''t you all know, the more actual work you do, the less you will get paid? And the more you sit on your a.ss, the more money you will get paid. Just look around America and see for yourself.
