Mitch McConnell Support Executives Excessive Pay
Looks like Mitch is still up for helping people who can help themselves. He opposes President Obama’s plan to limit executives pay to 500k.
Here is the story from the Huffington post
President Obama has proposed capping compensation for executives at banks that take taxpayer bailout money at $500,000. Republicans hate the idea — a position puts them uncomfortably on the side of people currently about as popular as child-porn producers and subprime mortgage brokers.

as usual,big business first,little guy last.
if you want to do something,find a way to stop cap and trade.
this bill will hurt the poor people and seniors.
the rich dont care about us.
our senators dont care about us because they have all the money they need to survive.
if their gas and elect bills sky rocket,they get the money from the tax payers to pay them!
wake up people,our politians dont care

I am by no means a Republican, but I understand from my extensive research of conservative ideology that he is only thinking of a capitalism in America. He believe’s that it is best to let how you pay someone be a free choice. Mitch McConnell sees this as moving a captialistic market into a contolled market that, even China knows, is not healthy for normal citizens who are tryong to move up the chain of higher payrolls. This pay-limiting may only be moving up the bar of how much the government could change our society. I don’t want executives of bailed-out companies to get excessive pay, but companies know what they are doing and if they want to go bankrupt, its their choice. There are better ways to tell a company that enough is enough, by recommending strongly, not forcing!
To say he doesn’t care is outrageous, if he didn’t care he wouldn’t be a politician. If I were you, t , I would research this, look at the speech he made to the senate when he said this, and give the benefit of the doubt for all politicians. That is how I examine all controversial decisions, democratic or republican. It helps alot to see why they do what they do by seeing exactly what they say.

The government in this country has been so corupted for so mant years, That the Lawmakers dont know how to address the problems we have.
All I am hearing is how broke this country is.
First, All the government people need to have a pay cut. At least in half. I am talking about the elected people.
If they are conserned about this country, They shouldent have a problem with that. If this was dont all over the the 50 states, How much could be put back in the system.
State senators are paid 141,000 dollars a year! How much do you do you make?
Lawyers charge 175.00 per hour. Why?
The system has gotten to corrupt! It is time to do something about it!

all of these incumbant politicians need to be tossed out of office. the problem with our country is we elect lawyers to represent us. lawyers are the problem, in and out of office. a law degree is nothing but a degree in manipulation for ones own benefit. the only way to save our country as we know it is to ban lawyers from running for office.
