    Get ready guys..... with allowing the Pacs to run rampant, we will be seeing this from now on.....

    If one side has an advantage, the other will have to pull out all stops. The Right has what 2 guys who donated $400 million?

    For what the Left stands for, unless a Soros steps up big, they are in big trouble..... Corporations now have more money than ever and....... well, unions dues are actually money from the middle class, wheres the Right is using the profits from shipping jobs overseas and the taxes they have found a loop hole for.....

    I'm invited to a wedding of two liberal friends Sat after next. I will send them a card and a note saying in lieu of a wedding present I am making a contribution to the Romney campaign.

    You do know that a lot of Lefties own companies and businesses that have shipped jobs overseas, right? Or is your point tethered on "the Right has shipped out more jobs"? And the unions that spend millions to defeat SB5 in Ohio surely aren't going to give Romney any dough. Don't worry though, Warren Buffet will more than make up for any shortfall of donations from Soros.

    By the way, I wonder how many of the guests at Valerie Jarrett's daughter's wedding last weekend sent their anticipated donations to Obama. Maybe Valerie herself asked the guests to forego any gifts to her daughter to help her boss. Just saying.

    No, I thought all Corporations were run by Righties, LOL

    First, this political BS is really starting to piss me off.... I have stuff coming in from both camps and it's fucking JUNE.....

    This shit is getting like my College, when you die, just give us your money, fuck anyone that you cared about, LOL

    As far as B-day, Wedding gifts, I wouldn't give a dime to either. I would if I knew they were earning their keep and IMO, not a gawd damn one in DC is doing a great job (generally speaking). Of course, my standards of excellence maybe higher than others.

    What would give them a passing grade?
    Balance the Budget

    Fair tax rate for Corporations, all Corporations, if the Corporation is based outside the USA and makes zero profit, then the CEO's pay should be reflected..... i.e. w/ no bonuses to upper management if so, taxed at 80%. What these CEO's are doing now is taking the Taxes they saved paying trhe USA, and keeping it.... Only a Retard would think this is a good policy, if you disagree, please explain why it is OK for a Chinese Company to come in and rape our economy, while American Companies have to pay taxes..... Seriously, you'd have to be a retard to think any other Country in the world, would allow a Chinese Comapny to come in, and not pay any taxes, yet......there competition "made in the USA" has to??

    Sorry, went on a rant....

    Fair Tax Rates - the Middle Class moves the Economy..... If the CEO makes 75 times more in Salary and bonus than his average employee, he and all Executives should be taxed at 75% over that rate... Below that rate, would be the same as it is now....

    So you're saying the work, expectations, responsibilities, etc. of a CEO only merit a nominal increase in compensation above his/her average worker (not to mention their educational backgrounds, corresponding investments, performance and sacrifices which have earned their positions, and innate talents and abilities)? I assume you would want to also apply this formula to Doctors, Lawyers, professional Athletes and Entertainers, and every other profession, or are only the executives in corporations undeserving of higher incomes (because it is all about net and not gross wages)? Additionally, you would need to use the "average worker's" compensation in the United States as a baseline for people like Entertainers as they are not part of an organization or Doctors and Attorneys where most of the rest of the staff are other highly compensated individuals. Wait a minute... This sounds an awful lot like socialism... Exactly. Stuff like this is so insanely over simplified and candidly ignorant that it is almost not worth a response... Almost.

    Instead of giving a birthday or wedding gift I can give that money to a campaign? Wow, here's my money!

    OK, in the late 70's & 80's, when the avg CEO made 25X's as much as their average worker.... but now, they make 330 times that of their average worker.....

    So what you are saying, the CEO has now become Jesus like, and the workers are akin to Slaves.... I was under the impression that it takes team work, to have a successful Company.

    Now, I don't have a real issue with how much a CEO makes on average, but the trend has been to cut the pay and benefits of anyone not with a VP title or lower, and the those with a title have seen a huge increase. I understand the pressure that is put on some of the Upper Management. .......Even though my son is Lawyer, and his Company just won a very large case; the amount of $$$ they'll get for what they did is absurd....

    The 75 times was sort of a joke, I know that would never fly. But, yes I agree about Pro athletes, and movie stars...the salary has become obnoxious. The cost of a movie or Pro Sport are out of this world....

    Now Doctors, are the most underpaid of all professions as far as I'm concerned. They allow Insurance Companies to determin how much they make, yet the Insurance Executives, make 10 to 20 times what the Doctor's make, who spent an extra 4 to 6 years of education....

    Now we're talking... I'm not saying we are in lockstep in our thinking but we are wayyyyy closer than you and others might think. You're a reasonable guy but the 75% statement was IMO off the reservation.

    making 75 times what the average worker makes, is a nominal increase? OK Mr. Romney, LOL.....I'd guess if the avg worker is making $60K, the CEO gets $4.5 Million, and that is nominal? (again, it was in jest, I know it would never happen).

    My issue is, going back 10 years the bottom 95% has seen a 2% increase and the the top 5% has seen a 30% increase..... let me put it in perspective

    avg worker making $50K 10 years ago, now makes $51K

    Top 5% making $400K, now earns $520K

    The Top's increase, yes increase, is more than double of what 95% of what Americans make a year...

    (simplified, because numbers can be manipulated)..... i.e. anyone in Business knows, if you have a 25% increase in Sales and I have a 15%, in conversation yours' sounds more impressive, but if you had a Million dollar and I had a FIVE Million, I brought in an extra $200K
