From all the pundit outrage about the salary caps - it's pretty obvious

[BR_Parkway]

that the idea has pretty broad support among the rest of us working folks. And that scares the crap out of them

It's really gotten so predictable - no news, just talking heads to try to prop up whatever ideas keep more money in the corporate pockets and those who run them.

1. Rule of thumb: When the GOP shills are ranting you must be doing something right.

2. You are correct, they are so isolated from the real worlds problems,

that they create more problems for us.
Another thread was saying 200,000 for a jeep.
Here we are in rural Caswell County 40 miles for my partner to drive to work each day and we are doing our best to keep current on bills and we had to have a new car when the 1990 minivan finally died at 258,000 miles, it had to be replaced, we have a 1998 Dakota that is not dependable for a daily driver anymore and its not great on gas either.
These very expensive vehicles the military uses that use so much fuel is ridiculous, the wall streeters that get multimillions annually plus nice trips on private jets to expensive retreats for lobster dinners and then get handouts of our tax dollars while most of us 'normal' folks struggle to keep the lights on, food in the house, keep the kids in clothes, car payments, and an occasional pair of jeans, mine are gettin so thin now that I'm gonna be nekid soon!
we resorted to moving to the country buying house on some land to start a small organic farmstead at way below market price and starting an organic farm on a thinning shoestring.
It is a 14 year old modular house that had been abandoned by the original owners almost 3 years prior and the bank just wanted shut of it

3. Let them scream forever.

Outside WDC, the public is applauding and saying it's about dang time.

4. A friend of mine who always voted republican.............

was over last night looking at a remodeling job he is doing for me ( he is a contractor out of work so we though we would have him redo a bathroom and give him some work).
Anyway he starts talking about the 500K limit for the finance execs and says he can't believe it. He was so glad that someone was doing something and he said to me that Obama was beginning to make him a believer. His words, " I hope he doesn't allows those fuckers heads to get above the water".

5. I think it should become universal law.

a MAXIMUM wage, indexed tot he minimum wage, and an absolute cap at any business that is indexed to the median worker's wage at that business.

6. The top execs better watch their back because their underlings will gladly

take $500,000 for the job. The big guys don't have friends. They have cronies and cronies need to watch their own backs and will cut someone loose in a sizzling second if they feel threatened.
