With few exceptions (some Sports, and the Arts) there is nothing that someone with 2 hands n' 2 feet can do (so well) that should result in them getting more than a few million bucks a year. Actually, horseracing is one of the few areas of the economy that is done right (in this regards.) The best jock, and the best trainers make about what? Don't they top out at about 2 mil? There are plenty of good jocks, n' good trainers that can do about the same job. Unfortunately, rich owners probably do pay them much more than this. Thankfully, the industry (on it's own) isn't doing well enough to spoil the "top" ones like these pig executives that cheat, and don't get properly punished at all. A couple of those AIG people shouldn't see the light of day ever again. I never once heard this lady say that we shouldn't have people making millions of dollars a year. She's talking about people making 50-100 million dollars a year while their companies pay no income tax (oil industry etc.) Companies getting thirty -fifty cents/ a gallon profit each time a poor person has to buy gas. That's the type of perversion that happens when the needle goes too far towards pure Capitalism (that sees nothing wrong with monopolies.) The Obama Presidency is about pulling that needle back away from going too far towards pure Capitalism. Last I saw, poor people are still paying 30-50 cents a gallon to oil companies that don't have to pay any income tax. So, he n' Pelosi have been horribly unsuccessful at doing what you're accusing them of wanting to do. If they lose their power, it's because they didn't do enough. Not because they did too much. The National Medical stuff should be in place in any country that has the possibility of drafting it's people to fight. Most civilized countries have this. That's not radical. It's only radical because we are in such an overly Capitalistic Country.
