Does a CEO who screws up a company and then gets a golden parachute upset you?


No, not unless the government uses taxpayers money to bail out the company. 8-)

Why should they? Do you really think that they are the root cause of what is wrong in this country today? Does a CEO who screws up a company and then gets a golden parachute upset you? There will always be liars cheats and thieves in all classes of society, do you think by lowering taxes they will all go away?


What the BLEEP are you talking about?

Let me tell you two stories that illustrate my point.
I live in a rural community that has only 1 doctor-we all know that there will be waiting-just the way it is. In the waiting room with me was a woman that worked at the Walmart, two retirees, a woman who cooks at the school bringing her father. A couple people stopped by to ask their wait time then left again we all chose to just sit. Then arrived a lazy welefare monger with her poly-tattooed friend. She 'had a terrible sore throat' yet went out 9 times to smoke. But her real reason was "to get something for my nerves. i've got terrible stress". The two were conversing loudly on their new smartphones. She began yelling at the office staff that she didn't have time to wait around she had 'things to do'. They then got into a loud discussion about some 'be-ache' who had done something with tattoo's boyfriend. Then she complained how the food pantry didn't "give me as much this wee". Now medicaid patients have a $3.65 copay. She was outraged over this "why do we even bother to pay insurance then if we have to give you money". Since when does welefare which is free to her count as paying insurance.


Story 2: last month lazy slob at work complaining loudly "only 4 more days and i won't have to be eating cereal" Referring to when the link cards come out. She always complains how she suffers so even though also had a smartphone and polytattoos. "So poor I can't feed my kids." Few days later she is showing around pictures of herself and babydaddy in their smurf costumes at the bar halloween party.

You don't seem to be posting a coherent series of thoughts. What is your point(s)?

Again depends on your point of view. Why don't you simply answer the questions?

If the Constitution was not meant to be changed, why did the founding fathers allow for amendments?

Amendments are for adding somthing new for the times not to change the meaning of the reason this country was formed.

That's an astoundingly stupid response, Vanderpix. The founding fathers obviously allowed for amendments, and they provided a specific process for making those amendments. The present government is trying to change the constitution through executive and judicial activism, not through the provided process.

Because you answered a question with a question. That would be like you asking me to answer my own question. you want to play a game? I don't, so grow up. End of conversation with you.

Why is it a stupid question if he did not explain it that way? Is this the only administration that has done that?

I asked a question, you replied with a question, I replied with another question. Of course my initial question was not directed at you. But I am not playing a game, I am only asking questions to learn how or where you stand. No judgements just questions

No, because there are always other companies that are better managed to fill the void. The economy is adversely affected when the government creates artificial and temporary fixes. 8-)
