A better indicator is not making a profit but what the curve of earnings says. Many CEO's are hired to fix other people's problems. So if the earning curve is on the way up but still negative it may take a few more quarters to turn it around and they may still deserve a bonus for increasing the worth of the stock from a poorer position. Take Alcoa (AA) for instance (Metals, Aluminum, Copper). They announced they had a loss but they are probably poised for future profits.

Taxing the rich will not work because big CEO's can just move overseas. You will just be increasing the wealth of other nations. When you tax the righ at a high rate, they just move to Florida. They are not that stupid.

no.
Your idea of fairness is very self centered, you'd support a health system which has wealth as its priorty of triage too no doubt, people like you cut me up, and hell I don't envy your mentality for a nano-second.
You've made it abundantly clear what it is you "envy."
Arguments here talk of a safe haven for those already too wealthy, well my arguement would be if you are 100x more powerful in millitary force that there is nowhere those people could hide, the thing is that those people we now speak of as victums in this "hypothetical" are the current reverse, who hold the trigger to even bill gate's head- who if he could would try and change things from the current senario. It will take a wave of civil strenght to stop this rot from continuing- you stand up alone you will be bought off or killed, pure and simple.
:Q wow man, you're militant socialist fantasy is getting just a tad bit creepy at this point. Did you honestly just endorse the wholesale slaughter of the wealthy?

seek help.

Your the one suggesting killing them and you call me a creep, that's pretty rich of you Weyland.

So your saying I should go long on alcoa?
Leave their country?
Yes they can, just like Sol Traheo, gee he's a commodity worth having.

Running away from the river doesn't get you fish, and the kind of expenses these types have you need alot of coin to keep the machine up and running.

To make strong metal you must skim the scum from the top to let 'la creme rise.

Never in the history of the United States has it been so easy to enslave the public.

Tell that to a black american.

So what happens when you make 10 Million? Dont you believe in capitalism? There are thousands of Millionaires in the world. Many of them like say buffett Have foundations where they use their extra money to help society in various ways like donating to the arts and educational institutions, libraries, etc. Attacking millionaires will only make life less worth living. Some of the largest contributors to needy organization that fight diseases like Aids, MS and Cancer are people that are millionaires or large Corporations. You better think twice before you attack people just because they happen to have made more money than you.

No I am not a millionaire. However, you or someone in your family may become one. Who are you to tell someone else how much money they can accumulate?

You must be a communist.

This is the 4th of July Weekend. Live free or die!


There were 10,000,000 millionaires in the US alone in 2007. That number has shrunk to 8,100,000 since the start of the recession though.
so what happen, did those 8.1million millionaires become richer? Did it go offshore?(caymans, Liechtenstein, Switzerland).
Is recession a bad thing for wealth distribution?

My Idea is not a liberal one. You are propagandizing Liberal Image.
