CEO'S The Economic Vampire Class

When I listen to progressive talke I simply am astounded at all the young white men who call in and essentially defend corporate CEO's and big business anti worker policies. It is such disconnected thinking that I cannot even fathom it.

Almost all the excessive pay that CEO's get now comes out of the pay, benefits and pensions or lack of them of workers who create the wealth in the first place. CEO's are today's vampires sucking the life blood out of workers. Until CEO pay is reigned in and stock options are eliminated wages will continue to go down. How many mansions and limos does a person need. And how many pairs of pants and shoes can you use at one time. And how much can you eat.

Marvin Davis ate himself to death. And he and his wife had closets of clothes bigger than most people's living rooms.

The Democrats need to counter with a "job destroyers" mantra of their own.
