<...>Notes,

Rather to my surprise, I agree with you about everything, with (I think) the minor exception of CEOs' 'obscene' salaries. A cap on earnings of companies or individuals goes a little too far in the direction of socialism for me. But otherwise--I'm right with ya.

I definitely agree with you on no cap on earnings of companies or individuals. I hope I didn't imply that I was for a cap.

But when a CEO is making millions of dollars per year while the corporation is losing billions of dollars per quarter, I don't think he/she is earning his/her salary. The CEO is paid those obscene amounts to make or keep the corporation profitable. If the company is losing money year after year, with no end in sight, the CEO is not doing his/her job and should not be making that much money. But I think it is up to the stockholders of the corporation to take care of that, NOT the government. I think the government meddles too much into the affairs of business, both to their benefit and their detriment.

I am a self-employed businessman, and I do not want the government meddling in my affairs.

I think the old anti-trust laws, before they were watered down, would have done a better job in keeping corporations competitive with each other, but that's another post and another subject.

I am a moderate, sometimes agreeing with the conservatives, sometimes with the liberals, but seldom with the extremists on either side of the fence. So I end up making "enemies" from both ends

I do know the system is broken, but I don't know how to fix it. I wish I did.
