Very well put!
This is why federal bailouts of this type can’t rationally come with strings attached. Otherwise you’re headed down the slippery slope.
The one and ONLY reason BHO can get this to fly even as far as it has is because of the class-baiting rhetoric we’ve been subjected to as a society for years.
- Soon, we’ll all be paid according to our value in the collective, because we’ve all touched the “stimulus”.
And of course in that context it’s now becoming crystal clear, if we extend this hypocritical CEO salary cap to its logical conclusion, what BHO meant by all his “everyone will have to sacrifice” rhetoric.
