CEOs get rich off average Americans

This mess never ends and neither does the anger of our citizenry.

Anger clouds logical thought. So does hate. Give it up. Fear God. Tell the truth. And make money!

I worked as an insurance agent in the '80s. The GM trim plant would close and guys called cursing because their car wasn't getting fixed.

You drive a Ford? You want parts? You drive a Chevy? You want parts?

How is it AIG is systemic? Automakers aren't? Carl Icahn has been on Fast Money on CNN every week.

In the '60s, CEOs made 25 times what their average worker made. Now they make 400 times that. It has to stop!

Icahn has a Web site for political action to end this. Companies can't turn profits when the board of directors and CEOs are walking away with these kind of golden parachutes and ungodly compensation.

That's right, ungodly. The covetousness and false witness in this country have caused this.

The common man is not getting rich. The CEOs of the banks, the airlines, the automakers, etc., push for concession after concession but are robbing you, me and America at the rate of 400 times that of the ordinary worker.

And when you can't get the computer chip, the hood, the doors, the water pump, etc., to make your stinkin' car run, you'll wish we had saved the automakers and jailed the CEOs. It's systemic!
