[quote=kewp]Privatize profits and socialize risk. Republican socialism at its finest![/quote]

I never said that I was FOR the bailouts in the financial sector. In fact, quite the contrary; I’m not for ANY bailouts for anyone, including homeowners, bankers, auto workers and government employees.

You really should compare apples to apples and their compensation packages to Wall Street, Detroit and Oil company execs. It’s not even close by many orders of magnitude.[/quote]

The difference that continues to elude you is that the money to pay those executives comes from the profit of actually making/selling a product in the private sector.

In the public sector, there is no natural limit on pay because pay is in no way tied to profit.

Do I think it is ridiculous that an oil company executive gets a $400 million retirement package? Absolutely…OTOH that executive ran a company that made trillions of dollars for the shareholders.
