Let's review
"No. You guess wrong. But since the money was made on speculation and did not contribute to the well-being of most citizens of this country, "
-kill all professional athletes and entertainers.
"and since the performance threatens to cause serious trouble for most of the citizens of this country, it would seem fair to require such speculators to live on the sorts of income the rest of us make. "
-debtor's prisons, slavery, theft of all assets. I like it. So did Pol Pot.
'Say $50,000 a year, no more. You would not feel obligated to pay a dentist who wrecked your teeth. '
-I might not. that wouldn't change the necessity of doing so. that's what civil court is for.
"Why should we feel obligated to reward the poor fellow who helped wreck a financial system and has to get by on the "chump change" of $12,000,000?"
-who is we? did you personally force him to buy 5% of his own company?
"That phrase is thoroughly repulsive, by the way. The person who uses it indicates contempt for those who do not have as much money as he or she does. If you are bragging, you have attained the reward of braggarts everywhere."
-I don't care. take it up with the folks here who love to tell you how wonderful their own OCD is as they prattle on about 'nit-picking' Fact is, Fidel, the average compensation of a CEO in the US is substantially more than that. if that bothers you then grab a Molotov cocktail and kill the plutocrats. I mean Bono is damned close to a billionaire and Zack de la Roca never has to work another day in his raging Marxist life. How is that acceptable to you?
"If you are trying to persuade, you will not generate much sympathy. If you are threatening, you have misguaged your opponents."
-Again, I don't care. I don't need more friends and I don't think of you as 'opponents'. Maybe the problem is people like you who are truly deluded the world revolves around them?
