We all hate those suckers right? They don't really earn the money. They lie, cheat and steal to get to the top. Rip off everyone they can. Most people I know are not happy with the CEOs in this country. Especially after using the bail out money to pay their huge bonuses. When it was their irresponsibility that got us into this mess in the first place. They are already super rich. They really did not need the bonuses....and htey definately did not earn them.
Well let me ask you this. Then why do we love politicans? Look at the house and congress. They have lied, cheated and stole their way to their position. THey ripp people off. Take money from lobbyist and vote how htey want instead of how the poeple of their state wants them to vote. But all the while taking their paychecks that paid for by the tax payer. HEck a lot of them don't even read the bills before htey vote. Isn't that in their job discription somewhere....read bill THEN vote? They put it in the bail out bill that the CEOs COULD use hte bail out money for their bonuses....and the CEOs in thanks put millions into those politicans re-election campaign cofers...(can you say pay for play boys and girls, it's a felony). Just about all of our elected officials are super rich. Yet during these hard economic times when the average american is struggling to just get by.....they still go their pay raises this year. A very small group of Senators put forth a bill at the beginning of hte year that called for them all to refuse the annual pay raise they get and enfact not get another pay raise until the economy improves.....the bill got thrown out and fast. The majority of our federal lawmakers would not touch that bill with a ten inch pole. They took the pay raise and laughed all the way to the bank. All the while asking us american to make scarifices for our country. Heck most of them have not even paid their taxes or owe big time back taxes.
SO I ask you .....why hate the CEOs for their behavior, but love our politicans for the very same behavior. It does not make sense to me. Shouldn't we hate them both?

Case in point:
WASHINGTON -- Congress plans to spend $550 million to buy eight jets, a substantial upgrade to the fleet used by federal officials at a time when lawmakers have criticized the use of corporate jets by companies receiving taxpayer funds.

Because mindless socialists simply accept some pie in the sky foolishness that government corruption is better than individual corruption.
