answer:OK, the rule should be to make suggestions. Here’s mine: Let’s see… Home Depot gave their retiring CEO Nardelli $250 Million when the company was going down the tubes. That is enough to cover 4000 jobs at $30,000 per year with $30,000 in benefits and taxes. Those 4000 families would be off the dole and on the tax roles. But this is an isolated case, of course. Oops! I just found Lee Raymond from Exxon got $400M There’s another 6,500 jobs. Hey this is fun. How about JT Battenburg III? Ripping off Delphi, being charged with fraud and having Delphi pay his legal fees. Another 2000 jobs. Want more? I’m sure the above gentlemen earned and were worth every penny by starting the companies, creating jobs and leading the company to roaring success. Oops! They didn’t and they didn’t. the got the money anyway On top of their salaries. And don’t get me started on “assistance”. You want my asssitance you follow my rules. Pregnant? The guy must be identified or you abort. Obese and out of work? You got two months to knock off 10%. Take drugs? You pee in cup. Assistance stops for three months if you test positive. You go to the education center every day and learn how to use a computer. Are you home every day? Clean the area in front of your house. Here’s another one: How about demanding any product purchased with federal funds or under federal mandate be made in the US? You want to madate CFL bulbs?. Make them in the US. Or support US factories so they can. Follow the same rules as China If you want to sell a product here you must develop a localization plan and have it made in the US after 2 years.. Gosh, I’m on a roll and better quit before I break my keyboard. ;-)
