President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have led increasingly successful efforts to pit Americans against one another through the politics of hate and envy. Attacking CEO salaries, the president – last year during his Midwest tour – said, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."
Let's look at CEO salaries, but before doing so, let's look at other salary disparities between those at the bottom and those at the top. According to Forbes' Celebrity 100 list for 2010, Oprah Winfrey earned $290 million. Even if her makeup person or cameraman earned $100,000, she earned thousands of times more than that. Is that fair? Among other celebrities earning hundreds or thousands of times more than the people who work with them are Tyler Perry ($130 million), Jerry Bruckheimer ($113 million), Lady Gaga ($90 million) and Howard Stern ($76 million). According to Forbes, the top 10 celebrities, excluding athletes, earned an average salary of a little more than $100 million in 2010.

Yes Obama has started a class war that the unemployed an uneducated have fallen for. He has taken the attention away from his inability to affect econoomic change thru failed policies and lack of experience in running anything other than his mouth! This idiot has duped some into believing socialism is the way to go, he just can't figure where the money is going to come from to support his new found followers, so he wants to take it from thise who have earned it for themselves. Sad day in our land.
HYPOCRISY writ large!
