Would less greedy executives make our economy stronger?

Not one bit.

Less government regulation, less pandering to wealth envy, and more emphasis on success would improve the economy more that anything. Instead of forced income redistribution which stifles growth and innovation we need less burdensome government.

Congress created the financial mess and they certainly cannot solve it.

What most people will not admit is that most executives of corporations put in more hours than any whiner ever would. The whiner will complain that they should not be required to do so for similar rewards. It is ever the cry of the so called down trodden that it isn't fair. Well my CEO is known to come in at 6 and leave sometime after 5, if not 7 at night. Yet there are those who only look at his wealth and state that its not fair he has it.

Sorry, most of them work hours and have done so for far longer than regular people will tolerate. Many love their jobs but they earned it. If you only work forty hours a week you cannot complain. If you want to get ahead bust your ass. Don't expect immediate payoff - these things that twenty to forty years to accomplish.

Worked really well for the last 8 years, didn't it?

VooDoo Economics + Laissez-Faire Regulation = Epic Fail

LOL capitalism.

This system creates a system which makes you forget that there are limits. You constantly want to grow. You constantly want more and are not satisfied. I hope the world realizes one day that there are limits to what we can do and how much we can expand. But, I doubt it.

If you have to chop down 12 thousand trees to build a mall, there would be hesitation. Maybe it is the system that has become this way.

I just think humans are doing everything too much and we need to settle down a bit.

Ok.

So you are suggesting I'm supporting Communism by being critical of Capitalism?

If Communism encourages human freedom but also stresses that we should not go to extremes then I guess I am for Communism.

They CEO's aren't greedy, they negotiated a contract with the company who hired them. if you want to be pissed get pissed at the board of directors for any large company for handing out golden parachutes like candy.
