We need a Pay Czar?

June 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

From Boortz:

Our president, Barack Hussein Obama (Hey … now he’s proud of his middle name, so I can use it, right?) Has decided he needs a Pay Czar. The White House says that this person, one Kenneth Feinberg, will actually be called the “Special Master for Compensation.” He is going to decide just how much executives for companies receiving bailout funds can make.

For now the Pay Czar will rule over companies receiving bailout funds. Well, you have to start somewhere I guess. But hold on … this could only be the beginning. How about companies who receive special tax benefits from the government? Then how about companies who have contracts to do work for the government? After that we can expand the Pay Czar’s responsibilities to companies who are deemed to be “too big to fail,” and thus have to have their executive compensation levels monitored by the government.

Won’t you be so happy when the day comes when the government can command how much money you get paid for your job? After all, it’s “not fair” that you make more than someone else at your company, regardless of your skills or responsibility. Shouldn’t all of us take home the exact same amount of money? That way there’ll be no evil rich people, and no “unlucky” poor people – we will all be the same. This is the promise of Socialism, the hideous concept that has never worked in any country that has tried it, but the absolute goal of so many that voted for Comrade Obama.

Here is your Home And Change … on a silver platter.
