DÉJÀ VU: THE RETURN OF THE ROBBER BARRONS

by ntuit
Once the CEOs are through there's not much left for me and you.
$231 MILLION FOR YAHOO CEO SEMEL VS. $47 GIVEN AS THE SETTLEMENT TO LOWER LEVEL WORKERS OF BANKRUPT POLAROID.

How much longer will this nation put up with this? When will the sheeple wake up? The sad thing is that Semel’s pay is for one year. Isn’t that enough for a life time or 20 or 30 or 40 lifetimes. Apparently not. You know he has made more than enough over his years in business. But apparently there is never enough. But those at the bottom (like the former Polaroid workers) must make do with the crumbs left over.

When is this going to stop? What can we do? I’m almost sick to use Yahoo!.
