Why cant the multi-billionaire CEO's give all their workers a good Christmas bonus? | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 13127957 United States 12/05/2014 07:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For Example, The six Waltons on Forbes' list of wealthiest Americans have a net worth of $144.7 billion. This fiscal year three Waltons—Rob, Jim, and Alice (and the various entities that they control)—will receive an estimated $3.1 billion in Walmart dividends from their majority stake in the company. They could easily afford to give EVERY EMPLOYEE $1000.00 for a Christmas bonus without even hurting their net worth. Why are these bastards so damn GREEDY? |

He executes (carries out) policy made by the Board of Directors. And the shareholders of the company vote on whom to put on the Board of Directors. The Chief EXECUTIVE Officer merely executes policy. He/she doesn't make it. |

Your rhetoric borders on High Treason! Greed is the very foundation of American Society. Without greed we would have nothing. We would be nothing. We would be a bunch of sheet wearing people with no money and no job. We would have to actually take care of each other and our communities. Notice the similarity between communities and communism? That's no accident. Without greed, that's exactly what we would become. Communists. It's not too late though. We can turn it around. Make sure you have better stuff than everyone else and screw people over whenever you get a chance. We can take back America with greed! |

I agree with this but fuck communism Its not about karl marx communism its called the golden rule, its called compensation. In the ideal world an asshole would be shunned but with central control competition is prevented and monopoly abuse is continued indefinitely. To hurt them you have to stop paying them and stop making them powerful with your own money. Thats why they want to addict you into servitude. |

Matrix User ID: 65533875 Australia 12/05/2014 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because they see their workers as a expense not an asset. You have to spend money(on assets) to make money but they don't want to be spending money on (in their eyes)liabilities. Until the goverment and the private sector see their tax payers and employees as assets our way of life is going to continue to slide into the crapper and we will be taking everything down with us no matter how high or how deep their tower or bunker will be. They are saying bring it and they will get what they did not pay for! |

You're just jealous they are successful. 2. Why should the fruits of their labor be given to other people? 3. You're a communist! 4. You're a socialist! 5. It isn't up to the CEO as to who gets the profit. 6. You don't understand economics. 7. If the employees of this company wanted to be wealthy they should have worked hard. 8. If the employees of this company wanted to be wealthy they should have gotten an education. 8. If the employees of this company wanted to be wealthy they can look for a job else where. Did I miss anything? Take your dogma and shove it! Life is not about what happens to you, it's about how you deal with it. |
