I hear ya, Tim. But hasn't this crap been going on for longer than 6 years? They way I read things, I took some comments to suggest this is something new.
And I will stand by my comment (opinion, fact) that Pelosi has crazy eyes. But I do look forward to the coming months to see what this woman tries to do.

Tim - You are entitled to feel any way you want to. I choose not to feel resentment toward the rich just because I am not. Apparently some think there's a solution to it, I do not. It's been this way since our first ancestors crawled out of the ooze. Some choose to fret about it - I choose not to waste my time or energy.
And some are much more tactful about expressing it than others.

LMAO!
Not gonna invest in California stock(cows), I believe the taxes that are gonna be put on ranchers and producers for cow farts are going to reduce profits.
I'm saving my money for Arnolds healthcare plan. I can't wait to help get illegals more healthcare.

Around here Speedos are called "Butt Floss"
And I believe that if someone is going to wear Speedos, there should be an application process!

What is going on now IS pretty new. Net job growth is at the slowest pace in at least the 25 years i have recollection of. Even during Regan, while the rich got much richer, the poor got a little richer. Under Clinton, while the rich got much richer, the tide lifted all boats. Under this administration, real earnings is about flat, net new (non-govt, non-farm) jobs is not even keeping up with the population growth. The national savings rate, which was at 0% due to rounding, has actually gone negative. In the meantime, we are borrowing 2 billion dollars per day just to operate the government.
So, to answer your question, Flo: No, I don't feel cheated......but I bet my customers do!!!

No, I don't feel cheated, but I'll bet the stockholders in a large U.S. based home-improvement company do.
After their lackluster CEO recently "resigned" by popular demand, (he's "pursuing other interests" now) the board of directors authorized a settlement for him that totaled 210 million dollars. That's seven times what's paid for all incentive programs annually, company-wide.
Pretty good payout for being a screwup.
Next time they might consider standing on the sidewalk, spitting in any direction, and making whoever it lands on the CEO at a flat $200 K a year. It would be cheaper in the long run no matter how useless the spittee might be. Better yet, use a chimpanzee, and feed him bananas. Preferably anyone who doesn't think uselessly occupying a chair entitles him to live like a pasha.
I don't think questioning this sort of nest-feathering is socialist--if it is, then crank up the "Internationale", baby.
If I were a stockholder in this company (but they are plague dogs as far as I'm concerned until they fire their present board) I'd have some hard questions for the board of directors.
Entirely too much of this stuff goes on now. It's bad for the companies involved, it's bad for stockholders, and it's bad for the average people who work for those companies. Until investors demand regulatory changes that will put more power into the hands of stockholders, it will continue. Perhaps those changes would encourage more employees to vest in the company as well--after all, would you be encouraged to buy stock in your company if you saw these shenanigans going on in the boardroom?
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with socialism when it works. It doesn't.
We are told that we live in a capitalist society but our modern version has a feudal quality not seen in about 120 years.
I have no problem with people raking in tons-o-cash so long as somewhere along the way just a tiny bit of social conscience is displayed. It's hard to spot today. Even guys like Nixon knew enough to toss a bone now and then to keep us quiet.... Bush just doesn't like us.
You gotta give him and his pals credit though they know how to get people vote against their own self-interest.

Ditto to what George said. I cannot believe all the peeps that think it's o.k. that these guys rake in Millions annually and everyone else gets peanuts. They last 2 or 3 years then walk away with annual retirements equalling more than most of us will ever dream of making in a lifetime.
I'm getting hungry now. Gonna go eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.
