Obama to Propose Limiting Executive Pay of ALL Companies

March 21, 2009

  ” So this is how democracy ends. To thunderous applause.”

That quote comes from Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith and many people took it to be a shot at president Bush when the movie came out. How appropriatedoes that quote seem now with President Obama about to make sweeping changes to our economic system? What am I talking about?

  President Obama, now emboldened by the outrage and hatred that he deliberatelystoked in the American people towards executive bonuses and pay with the AIG fiasco is now ready to propose limiting how much a PRIVATE company can pay their executives, even if they do not accept federal money.

The Obama administration will call for increased oversight of executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies

 He will decide how much the executives at ALL banks, at ALL Wall Street firms, and at whatever other companies he sees fit to monitor can be paid. This is an idea that I saw coming and in fact I wrote about it here on February 4th, now it is about to come true.

  It is the ole slippery slope argument that so many people roll their eyes over when you mention it, but now it sure seems fitting. If a company whores themselves out and goes to bed with the federal government and takes federal funds then whatever restrictions the government puts on them is part of the deal. But now the president has decided that he needs to go beyond regulating the pay of the companies that take bailout money. Now he want to regulate how much a company can par an executive even if said company does not take bailout money.

The new rules will cover all financial institutions, including those not now covered by any pay rules because they are not receiving federal bailout money

  As bad as it seems that our dear leader is going to delve into the payroll of PRIVATE companies it gets worse.

Under the proposal, the Treasury secretary would have the authority to seize and wind down a struggling institution after consulting with the president and upon the recommendation of two-thirds of the Federal Reserve board.

  Tax cheat Timothy Geithner will be able to seize any company that Adolph Obama decides to take over with a 2/3 vote of the federal reserve. This is absolutely unbelievable, this is un-American.

  Obama has deliberately created angst in the lower classes of the American people and he is using this angst to take over private companies. This man needs to be stopped and he needs to be stopped NOW!

  He is purposely trying to pit one class of Americans against the others. He knew about the AIG bonuses and I am beginning to think that he agreed to let these bonuses be paid so  that he could Judas the executives for his own communist political goals.

  Our dear leader is about to embark on a power grab of epic proportions. And for the last eight years we were told that it was President Bush who was Hitler, remember:

It is pretty offensive, isn’t it?

    Luckily whatever he does can be undone in one election cycle, and if the gaffemaster keeps it up that’s all it will take. Besides, even the bonus tax has loopholes the size of the Grand Canyon. Whatever he proposes will have loopholes as well. After all he can’t piss of all the campaign contributors.

    Did the companies beg for the money, really, or was it forced upon them? Who did what makes all the difference here. Be careful whatyou wish for…… Holy cow! You think Rick Santelli freaked out before? Way to get Wall Street back on your side, P.O.! We all need to go to a tea party. Push back, America!

    Please, let’s all always keep one phrase in mind which is, “Smoke screen”.

    Congress still holds all of the power to control the country but they don’t use it. To me, it seems like they just sit back and treat the president as an all knowing God, blindly following him. It seems to me that the big presidential election taking place every 4 years is a joke.

    We as citizens should be paying more attention on who we elect to congress so we have proper representation of the people. It all starts with our local town government and works its way up. The president really doesn’t have that much power (at least for now) if the congress doesn’t give it to him.

    Really, blame ourselves and our congress men and women for any problems pertaining to the dealings of our current situation.

    Example; is 200 million of bonuses at AIG that bad considering we gave the owners of the AIG (insurance company) 150,000 million? Why? It’s America, you screw up, you fail! These are my tax $ and yours. If I screw up, no one bails me out. Imagine that I over borrowed on a house and a couple of new cars, couldn’t pay it all, and was in risk of bankruptcy. According to our current bailouts, all of you that were frugal in your spending now have to bail me out. Thanks! It’s the same thing with these companies just with larger $$$ amounts. We are being taken.

    You’ve heard it before… for the love of the Constitution and all that is good and right, wake up America!
