I searched the net for the $ figures so blame that... the 10% was over estimating to give worst case ... In 2006 the top 500 companies in the US paid their CEO's a total of $5.1 Billion...


Statements like this mean nothing. What difference does it make how much the CEO's are paid. People get paid for what the create and how much money they make for the people they work for. Look at Basketball, Football, and Baseball players. They make hundreds of millions for playing a game. But they generate billions for the owners of the clubs. Why aren't these people complaining about that?

In 2006, 500 people collectively got paid more than 1.6 million welfare recipiants.


???? I don't even know what this means.

You say I make statements and don't back them up?
All you have to do is google the things I said and you will get plenty of statistics to back it up.

Unemployment. You don't believe employers pay unemployment? I was an Employer. I paid it. It varies for every employer but it is funded by employers.

Costs are Truly Shared by Federal and State Government
Operating as a federal-state partnership, Unemployment Compensation is based on federal law, but administered by the states. The Unemployment Compensation program is unique among U.S. social insurance programs in that it is funded almost totally by either federal or state taxes paid by employers.

A 9.1 percent unemployment rate is the number of people in the work force out of work. Not the percentage of the total population. The number of unemployed is about 15,000,000. It's also in the link above.

Right now most unemployed folks are getting a pretty good Check. My friend gets $700.00 every two weeks. What do you want me to do, send you a photocopy of the check? And he will get it for about a year depending of what the fed does.

The IRS has release the figure for the top earners. 400 billionaires pay 18.1 percent of their income. If the make 1 Billion they pay about $180 Million. That's one person paying $180,000,000. those are facts. I'm not making it up. The millionaires pay about 21 percent.
If you want my tax return I'll send you a copy. I paid about 11 percent.
How does that show ME paying more than the millionaires?

These are facts. They cannot be disputed. So I'm not sure what is is you are talking about.
