Did you hear?...

I know, I know. I'm a huge nerd. Now that that is out of the way....So I was listening to the Enid Greene show on KSL Newsradio on Saturday and decided to call in and make a comment. Here is my call...



Now, she was on a hard break and I was not able to get my full point across. But in essence, I was going to continue talking about socialism. What's coming next? Universal Health Care? If the government can tell these CEO's that they can only make a certain amount of money, what's gonna stop the government from telling us we can't have any pizza or french fries when they control our health care? All in all, I don't think the CEO's of failing companies should be making the outrageous salaries they are making and getting the bonus' they are getting when their companies are in the crapper. But is this the way to go about it? I'm still mulling it over. Your thoughts?

Well done, Mike. You're so mature and old! I agree with both of you that while it is a move that needed to be done, it does somewhat blur the line between capitalism and big brother. I guess we'll just have to see what happens next and cause an uprising if it gets out of hand.

P.S. It is now February, it might be time to get rid of the Christmas song playlist!

Too bad she kept cutting you off. I don't think she really caught on to what you were trying to say.

How much did you pay Kimmy to say that you cleaned your house? Or did you write it pretending to be her?

I agree with you MIke!!!! They are FORCING the compnay to take the money and not letting them choose to! And I love how she kept saying WE are shareholders when the government doesn't listen to US!! Ah socialism is getting it's toe in the door and it's only a matter of time before it's a whole leg and then a whole body! Scary! Good call, you came across respectful and smart!
