Outrageous executive severance perks - talk about chutzpah!

This is so laughable. You people who side with the CEO's making millions while America goes down the drain must be completely insane. You people must be just as greedy, heartless and self-serving as the CEO's. And blaming Bush IS proper in this instance. He is supposed to be working for our benefit, and he has spent eight years ignoring the American people and the economy, while he lets his rich buddies have free reign. How can you back these failed policies? DUH!!!

Look at the perks Congress gets and some of these people have been in office for decades. Ear marks should be against the law, one ear mark was 5million to Belgem for a museum now if that dont get your dander up nothing will. These people are our CEOs. ( vote these bums out get new thinking in)

We all complain (legitimately), but the cycle continues. How do we change this? Is there any way to get this outrageous cycle to stop?

You people are just silly. Why are you going after these people? They worked, did really well, and got paid. Welcome to America! You could been one of these people, but you choose to just whine...What a bunch of losers you all are.

The hourly worker has no say what so ever about their pay and benefits and that same situation should be placed on managers at all levels. If the lowest guy on pole has to pay for his benefits then the CEO and Board members should too.

The solution to this is for consumers to start buying as many goods and services as they can from smaller companies. Consumers also have to fill out as many opinion cards for the big companies letting them know why they are switching to smaller companies. In the beginning consumers will pay a little more, but reduced profits will cause the big companies through “free market competition“ to reduce where possible. At first they will cut employees, who can go work for the smaller companies that are getting more consumer income. Then as the size of the big company shrinks and the marketing component of the company starts passing on the opinion information, then excessive executive overhead will start to come down. Finally as the difference in size of companies from largest to smallest comes down and compensation differences between executives and labor comes down similar to smaller companies then true competition will occur which should lower prices for all of us. Along with these actions consumers need to pay attentions to which companies are out sourcing labor vs. using in country labor and try to avoid those companies. I wonder if we can out source executives. Anyway back to reality. For this solution to work consumers have to become more willing to choose alternate sources of a product and provide feed back. Then maybe corporate America will learn that “We work to live not live to work”.

Why is the wrong people are assassinated or die from cancer?

OK people our congress just bailed out fany may or what ever the bank was for 250 billion bucks,this was a privatly owned bank,some of our smale banks are going under,dont see congress bailing them out. Passenger plane companes going broke,chane stores going broke. Something a little fishy here just maby some of our elected people had stock in the bank in LA ( Do you think our elected people would do that,shame on me fore thinking like that)

I work for AT&T. This is how it works at my company. The CEO and board of directors hold the majority of the stock. Therefore; whatever they vote on wins! And by the way, they set their own wages, percs, and retirement.
