I wonder if he went to OBAMA's modest $38,000.00 plate breakkie in Newport? If Greg Conger had any morals a/o sincerity, he'd lead by example; defering his wages & inviting the poor to live w/him. Sounds like the 'fairness and moraltiy" thingcould work if HE shows the way.[author's breath not currently being held] How can my alleged union president earn SIX figures from poor workers like me, then turn around and decry “GREED”.

People have a civilright to greed. Just like YOUR right to envy another's success. The govt. can't "create" jobs. People who got mortgages theydamn well knew they couldn't afford are just stupid. The govt. pressuring banks to grant bad loans to so-called minorities didn't help either.Redundant and retarded regulations, coupled with the entitlement culture led by unions would prompt ANY good businessman to seek alternatives like outsourcing.ponder this: "The claim of unearned entitlement goes hand in hand with the claim of moral authority." -Oleg Atkashian. Smells like liberal Democrats don;t it. Well genius. People have a civilright to greed. Just like YOUR right to envy another’s success. The govt. can’t “create” jobs.

The tax plan would create a new 5.4% surtax to individuals earning more than $1 million per year; this comprised the top 450,000 of Americans by income when the rule was proposed.[3][4] The Buffett Rule is a tax plan proposed by President Barack Obama in 2011[1] to alleviate income inequality in the United States between the top 1% of Americans[2] and the remaining 99% of Americans, due to the disproportionate income growth in the 1% group as compared to the 99% group.

Maybe our government should spend less on military and wasteful spending. Social security is another area that can be reworked. Raise the retirement age to 67 or 68. Americans are living longer and a majority of the health care costs come from the last few years of our lives. Make some cuts to medicare and medicaid and other "entitlement" programs. We are all in the same boat to save this country from bankruptcy and we need to put us back on the path to success. Oh...raise taxes too...temporarily until we get ourselves in a better financial position. isn’t it true that the top 10% pay 80% of the taxes in this country?
