Just for the Record: Carl Icahn is our enemy

Edited on Sat Nov-05-11 07:16 PM by Taverner

He was an 80s Corporate Raider

He was one of the people Gordon Gekko was based on

He bought TWA with the plan of cutting it up and selling it off

My mother was a Flight Attendant for TWA

He said that the Flight Attendants weren't "Breadwinners" so they should be able to take the pay cut, and the reduction in benefits

He is, and was, an ASSHOLE

Despite his recent donations, he was part of the movement that destroyed organized labor in this country

He IS the enemy

Rant /off

1. I'd ask you who he is, but you never respond to me so maybe

someone else will come along and enlighten me so I don't actually have to visit "my friend Google".
