Wow..
What a bunch of poor victims all in one place. I'm so sorry for you. Very very sorry for you. In fact, I pity you poor victims of capitalism and greedy CEO's. I guess all the CEO's should dismantle their companies so's not to victimize you further. Then I suppose you could work for the 99 percent.. right?
You poor, poor victims of evil capitalism. You poor, silly folks that just can't understand basic economic principle. You silly folks that obviously haven't had to wrestle with a bottom line, or been held accountable to shareholders.
You poor folks that don't know the satisfaction of earning and providing real jobs, not government jobs.
You have only been exploited and ruined by evil capitalists. Hateful stupid conservative capitalists. Those evil folks that would like to keep say, 50 percent of what they make.
You poor victims. So stupid as to be exploited always. How stupid are you? Victim mentality. Victim vindictiveness and Victim Class warfare. You are being used by a bunch of progressives to push socialism. But hey, go ahead. You are really proving you revel in being a victim.
Why stay in this country? Leave. Europe would love you.

Also, while what you say certainly does have some validity in the situation of a start-up company in which someone puts their own money on the line to start a business, the CEOs of the average Fortune 500 corporation today have not invested one penny of their own funds in those businesses. The stock they hold in those companies does not represent investment, it pretty much represents tax fraud because if they take stock as "payment" instead of cash they can pay little or nothing in taxes on it.
And you act like the median and minimal workers were working there before the start up.....how do you figure?
I get your point about a CEO coming in after the business is up and running.
Not only are corporations trying to stay in business by leaving the US, look at the recent liberal Democrat millionaire Denise Rich giving up US citizenship to save millions in US taxes. When the rich and corporations leave the US to survive, the rest of us will not get any jobs from the poor who remain. In addition, how will the government force their socialistic redistribution when the rich all leave the US.
As for Denise Rich, I agree with you that anyone giving up their citizenship to avoid paying taxes is shameful. It's too bad that Republican Eduardo Saverin set the example.
And since the government has no plans for any sort of socialistic redistribution, we don't have anything to worry about in that regard. At least until 2017 when the next President takes over. But I doubt Hillary would try it either.

Our government is not a cancer. I'm no big fan of Wilson either, and I don't really see how Wilson fundamentally transformed our government, other than by his creation of the Federal Reserve, which I agree has become an abomination. FDR, on the other hand, created the most productive, prosperous and healthy economic society this nation ever enjoyed, and it would have continued for as long as there were Americans but for Ronald Reagan's ascention and the beginning of the "supply side economics" fraud. Reagan forgot, or ignored, that it was tax cuts for the richest Americans coupled with the complete deregulation of American financial industries that were the primary causes of the Great Depression, and both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama understand that it is only by the government serving as the prime for the pump that can end the economic crisis. Massive government spending for public sector employment ended the Great Depression. We had a taste of that with President Obama's stimulus, which created over 4 million jobs even though it was at least a third smaller than every reputable economist agrees it should have been. The American Jobs Act which Congressional Repub...

The American Jobs Act which Congressional Republicans have refused to consider for almost a year is the ideal embodiment of what has already worked. The LAST thing we need to do right now is hand even MORE of the nation's wealth to the richest Americans. And that is precisely what the Koch Brothers - I mean Mitt Romney - plan to do.
