That's an option, but unfortunately one that is very rare and not presented to most people. I have no doubt that this guy is a real go getter.

Also, the science is pretty clear on the oil and gas industry being universally destructive to the planet, so there is that, but I see what you mean. I tried studying science for this exact reason. I hated it.

I will respond with only this.

I posted a comment on another thread sometime ago. Made a Mod close it. Being that this thread isn't about career choices and opportunities. I will post no more on this subject.

The AT&T guys just caught $1000. I wouldn't mind that. Mean company that gave 200 million to their employees.

Comcast too. You know that cable company that is part of the left wing propaganda machine of NBC.

Everybody likes some extra mullah. No matter what your political leanings are. Funny it was the bad guys Party actions that are bringing it about and not the useless wind bags of the promising never fulfilling their promises Party.

Obama gave tax breaks also. Or as I recall a check back. Nothing changes. Smoke and mirrors.

I'd still prefer the CEO average bonus over the last 3 years.

And in the final economic analysis what I see is AT&T customers being over charged. Otherwise the money wouldn't be there to give to anybody. It's the consumer that should get the biggest benefit. They are the ones funding all of this. The person that spends nearly 100% of thier income. The hoarders do not help. The consumers help.

So what you're saying is a man or company can be successful but they can't be too successful. IF the consumers feel that they are being over charged by AT&T then they go to a different carrier. That's how a free market works. CEO's that in charge of a business and hundreds of thousands of employees deserve what they get. Lebron James makes 20 mil a year for shooting a basketball. I never hear him being greedy.


I was watching a show on PBS the other night. It was a good show. When the show was over the listed all the greedy corporations with high paid CEO's that donated money to make the show for me to watch. Cut all the CEO's salary in half and will it make much of a dent to the consumers or workers now that they aren't being paid as well. No not at all;it's just spit in the ocean.

So is the 1000, but 5.2 million is a much nicer spit.

There is no such thing as a free market. If there were we wouldn't see the government suing a corporation to avoid them becoming a monopoly.... again. AT&T was broken up years ago. Supposedly. Now they are back being investigated for rebuilding the monopoly. Please try to stay within reality and not focus on hyperbole.

It's a free as you're ever going to get unless you want to change economic systems which other countries have and they don't seem to be working out so well. Hows Venezuela doing?

[closed224 Senior Member Member of the Month Dec 2014, Feb 2017 Find all posts View Profile Close closed224]

We don't need to follow Venezuela. There are tweets we can make that focus the benefits to the bottom rather than the top. The bottom spends thier money thereby driving the economy. They take out debt to spend even more faster. This also drives the economy. The economy is based on debt. The top hoards most of its money. Placing in vehicles to keep for later. This stagnated the economy. We are focused on placing the advantages in the wrong direction.

Okay Robin Hood; I know take from the rich and give to the poor. Somehow we can never give rich folk their due; that they actually worked hard enough to deserve it. We put artificial limits that we ourselves judge as to what they deserve and what we feel is obscene; no one one deserves to have that much.

We demonize the rich yet I see many hospitals with special wings to help sick people that were built by rich people donating. I see many college scholarships and endowments to help students because of those very same rich greedy people. I watched a show the other night made possible by those rich greedy corporations and rich people. I go to museums and marvel at the beautiful artwork done throughout history made possible by rich patrons who provided for struggling artists and musicians. How much joy, how much culture was given to us by the greedy rich. Hell my country was discovered by some rich folk giving a guy named Chris some money to fall of the edge of the earth,

We never see the apparent hypocrisy. The rich should give more of what they have away; the greedy corporations should lessen the burden on the consumer. What we are really saying is that they should give it to us. Yes the rich are greedy and so are we.

No I don't say that. I say make it equal. The system is stacked to give to the rich. So take more back from them. Columbus did not discover our country. He ran into a few descendants of our countries discoverers when he got here. Enslaved and killed most that he could. To further the riches of the rich who sent him over here.

Fair tax codes then fair regulatory codes. Everyone on the same playing field. Flat tax. They do not work harder. They just keep getting advantages given, oh wait, they keep creating advantages for themselves by buying the positions to be in place to continue taking.

I pay close to double as a percentage. I'm close to being homeless. Much more problems come my way and I will be homeless. I have quit going to the doctor about my colon cancer, I'm trying to get into a University Medical program as a test dummy. Half the time I borrow from family for insulin and other medications. On and on and on. I have no hope and Trump is doing exactly nothing that will benefit me.

Have you watched Shark Tank? People with god ideas who have worked hard and if they get the right deal they become rich by their hard work. You want to take their money? Robert Hersivic, one of the sharks son of an immigrant who's father worked as a janitor so he could go to college. He had no special deal yet he founded a security software company and made a fortune. You want to "take" his money?

The tax rate not good? So if you make over a certain amount you pay 35% but if you make under a certain amount you pay 10%. So the rich get taxed more than the poorer.That's fair? Not in my book. A flat tax does seem fair doesn't it. Somehow if we were all paying the same flat tax there wouldn't be enough to pay for all those social services we like.
Funny the stats show that the top 20% of Americans, you know all the rich people, pay 84% of all the taxes. That leaves just 16% of the tax revenue for the rest of the 80% of the county to pay. That's not only unfair but it's obscene for the 20% to pay 84% of the taxes. And 45% of Americans pay no federal tax at all.So if you do the math 45 don't pay, 20 % pays 84% which leaves us 35% to pay 16% of all the federal taxes. It seems like we in the 35% are getting a pretty sweet deal.
