Why should my hard earned money go toward a CEOs retirement?

Define “execessive executive compensation” would 50mm be excessive, 40mm, 10mm?

I had to close my business down due to the economy,, I want my executive compensation too!!!

Why is executive compensation even being discussed?

I believe you are right. The bailout will come regardless of what the people want. And none of the underlying issues that caused this mess will be resolved. And the crash will be as bad or worse even if it is put off a few weeks, months, or years.

Look at the fall of the soviet union. When the government began reform to try and avoid collapse it simply accelrated it.

If they want to spend $700 billion how about they spend it on public transportation, renovating our power grid and our water infrastructure.

Either way we will find out how rigged our voting is come Nov. I have this feeling that the polls will themselves be a bloodless revolution. And more and more people are talking about the third party. More and more people taking off the partisan blinders and realizing that the Dems and Repubs are exactly the same crooks.

This is ridiculous!
I am noticing all the news channels pumping the public with scare tactics just to convince the American people that this bail out is necessary.
What a load of garbage!
They keep blaming the people of this country for these problems..nevermind it was George Bush that put us in a war that costs BILLIONS..nevermind that it was Bush that blocked all proposals for alternative fuel research which allowed them to raise prices of oil to such levels that no one could afford to pay their bills AND BUY GAS FOR THEIR CARS SO THEY COULD GO TO WORK!..nevermind that it was Bush that got on T.V. and told the American people everything was fine..nevermind that Pelosi just mentioned openly that this money would NOT GO TO HELP AMERICANS THAT LOST THEIR HOMES..nevermind that
Washington Mutual (just one of many) PAID THEIR NEW CEO A 20 MILLION DOLLAR PACKAGE AND THEN TURNED AROUND TO ASK THE GOVERNMENT FOR A BAIL OUT..nevermind that this bail out legislation would go to help ALIENS to purchase foreclosed homes of AMERICANS..nevermind that the President is now trying to STEAL PUBLIC TAXPAYER MONIES TO PAY FOR PRIVATE INDUSTRIES THAT HAVE LIED AND CHEATED FOR YEARS AGAINST THE PUBLIC OF THIS COUNTRY.
Yeah..
nevermind all that..
just give King George what he wants or else we will all have to pay.
WELL WE HAVE AND CONTINUE TO PAY!!
It’s all OUR FAULT THIS MESS RIGHT?
Nothing at all to do with the government elected officials that have proven time and time again to be the real enemy to the American people!
And now..under closed and secretive doors..they try to hatch another plan to harm each and every one of us!
I say hanging is too good for them!

I thought the market would plunge on friday too! Boy were we wrong.. still trying to figure out why it didn’t. I suppose the rape of the assets of WaMu had to do with that.

Jack,
I just don’t get it. Why are you votng for a third party when you seem to dislike Obama and Joe? By voting for a third party in this election is voting for Obama. I know you’re not too crazy about McCain but he’s tons better than Obama.

Understood loud and clear. I appreciate all of your efforts on informing your listeners. You’re right that change must start at the grassroots level and hopefully it’ll catch on. The ideas that you have expressed on your show has changed my views. You’re doing a great service. Keep it up.

This podcast is messing up my listening schedule. I found it about a week ago and now I am trying to listen to all the back episodes which cuts back on my other shows. The podcast makes me feel that I am less in the tin foil hat society.

Another great show!

You have mentioned on several shows “safer investments”…

What do you consider is a “safer investment”.
Note: understand you are not a Financial Advisor, just wanted your opinion.

Looks like you were on the dime about the ‘hard work’ over the weekend by the politicos.
