A word of Caution

I would like to say a word of caution to some of the more liberal people out there.

With all this mess going on with the financial market, there has been some talk by The Messiah as of late about dealing with the CEO's of the companies being bailed out. There has been talk that the government needs to take steps to ensure that these "evil" CEO's do not get windfalls when the company is getting bailed out.

The problem with this logic is this. Most of these CEO's have these windfalls signed in contract, when they start the job. So it makes me scratch my head as to how some people want to disregard a legal binding contract because they believe that someone doesn't deserve it. Who are we to say who deserves what? Plus it is none of our right or our business as to how much these guys make. These CEO's are running publicly traded companies for the most part. So the stock holders are the ones that should say yes or no as to how much a CEO makes in that company. If you own stock, then you are an owner and you have a say where as non-owners do not.

So just think about how you would feel if others started publicly complaining about your salary, or your bonus because they didn't think you deserved it.

Viva Liberty!
