NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Guess who's helping Bank of America pay for its $4.1 billion purchase of Countrywide Financial? Answer: The taxpayers of the United States.

Really? Where do you think that "greedy CEOs", not to mention power hungry politicians, come from? Outer space? I got news for you - they are just like you or me, but they've tasted power and money. That's human nature, bubba. Give a human being enough power and/or money, and that's what happens.

No they are just like you, not me. I don’t try to screw over anyone. I try to get a reasonable wage for a reasonable days work.

It may be human nature to try and screw over your fellow man to you. To me it is not. I know that the salesmen in this country try to screw everyone but then they feel they are owed it. I do not.

All I want is to get what I have earned, yet the CEO, politicians, salesmen need to be on top. You may feel that way but I do not.

Don’t put your ideas of how life is into my life.

I work for a living, or at least did for the last 35+ years. I expect to be respected for what I know and am capable of. To be paid appropriately for it.

Maybe that is the reason that you and others feel I am over paid, union workers are overpaid. Funny how you feel and others that no one is worth what they are paid if they belong to a union. Yet those CEO’s are not overpaid when it is the CEO and upper management who destroy this countries businesses.

So sayeth Mr Bitter!

-------------------------------------------------------

What I've noticed, Mr. Bitter, is that you and Bill and maybe 1-2 other people are the only ones really upset and blaming our economic and business problems on the CEOs. Bill lives off of government handouts and you live off of government disability.

So, the two people that cry the most about CEOs' pay and the economy are both on government handouts and on the lower end of the pay scale.

Me: Middle Class
Phranc: Middle Class
Uanna: Middle Class
Fierobear: Middle Class
Toddster: Middle Class
The list goes on and on....

So, this is why I call you Mr. B-I-T-T-E-R.

What do you get when you pay 50,000 union workers an extra $10/hr????????? About $100 million dollars wasted.

What do you get when you pay a CEO $10 million a year???????????? About $9 million dollars wasted.

Ace WTF is wrong with you?

You post on nothing but threads I post on and then only to try and bait me into an argument.

You really need to see someone.

So, that would mean that you have posted TWICE as much in less time...........Who needs to get a life?????

Once again, your logic or lack thereof is AMAZING.

Perhaps you post that much because you have more people that argue directly with you because your views and logic are many/most of the time....WRONG or SKEWED.

8 out of your last ten posts have been in threads I have posted in.
At least
3 out of those 8 just to try and bait me into an argument.

I like everyone here is entitled to our opinions, yet for some reason you seem to think your opinion is the only one that matters.

Like in your most resent posts in the "He was so bad, they put an ice pick in his brain..."


In that one you were wrong and many others in that thread along tried to show you that you were wrong yet you would not admit it.

Good Day, Mr Bitter.

Sorry but in that other thread, if you would have just said........The guy was nuts, I wouldn't have posted "here we go again." You love to try to link someone's education with what's wrong with society.
