Yea, we are doomed. Unless you are ACTUALLY in the 1% there is no reason to support CEO pay being 380x regular worker pay, etc.

Divided we fall, well played worker peons, well played.

Lol I don't make a decision to support or not support certain companies based on their ceos pay. I'd be eating wheatgrass and living in a mud hut.

You must not own a phone, TV, car, shoes, clothes, or well.... pretty much anything.

Not sure how you're using the internet. Talk about supporting the wealthy.

The combination of Bush tax cuts, his phony wars, and American job killing globalism has been devastating. Probably the biggest problem in this country is the wealth disparity. Healthcare even if it failed millions to come would pale in comparison to languishing in poverty.

It one thing to have more billionaires, its another for those same billionaires to stifle billions of people with tainting of opportunity. That is my biggest fear is that there is a new ceiling that has been placed over billions of people's heads. That it really is no longer about generating wealth, but siphoning and destroying wealth.

free market??? bwahahahahaaha, there's nothing free about any world market.

And there's a good reason for that. Striving towards a "free-market" ideal that cannot, has not, and will not ever exist by blindly lashing out at any kind of government regulation of markets, even ones that are agreed upon by the majority of the citizenry to be socially necessary, is just as dangerous and damaging to society as communist scum that insists "it'll work this time, we promise" when trying to destroy their latest host nation's ethnic, racial and national identity through cultural marxism.

A person's political opinions should not change based on what class of people they are in.

I am not rich and I am not in the 1 percent but if I was dirt poor or if I was a billionaire, my opinions are the same.

If you change your beliefs based on your life's situation it's because you are trying to get something you didn't earn. That is a true definition of greed.
