I guess I am envious in a way. Envious for the fact that these guys have this amount of money, but over 20% of children in Orlando (and more in bigger cities) only get a meal when they go to school. Doesnt make me envious, makes me wish we had a solution for this kind of greed-----a "final solution" perhaps....pardon the pun and nothing meant toward the Jews there either.

I love it when the words fairness and greed are tossed around which are so subjective they have no absolute definition. More power to them I wish I made that kind of money. It's like some of you think there is something wrong with making money! If you have a problem with capitalism I don't know what to tell you. I'll take as much as I can get as long as it's obtained in a moral, legal, and ethical manner.

It would be nice if AT&T upgraded their cell towers eventually. I've had more dropped calls in 1 year than 8 with VZ. I don't care about their taxes, I just want good service!

Wow!!! What a concept! KEEPING the money you earn. These people sound like monsters. Who would do such a thing?

I had something profound typed out here, and then I decided I'll keep my politics to myself. I don't do much arguing these days. I can see both sides on this one. Now, that was profound.

I don't think any of us have a problem with folks making money, it's when they just start Taking the money that it's a problem. The takers involved have no problem seeing their corporation as an entity unto itself, when it suits their political needs. Then they turn around and scream "MINE" as they cart off all the cash the corporation earns, as if all the other members of the endeavor were merely their slaves. Maybe you think thats alright, and maybe there is some subjectivity in the term, but any kid on any team sport can tell you, it's not just the quarterback who wins the game, and to give only that one player the credit, or the cash, is NOT FAIR. Think (really, think) about it.

I worked in a large corporate 'non-profit' money making machine and found the system absolutely insane. I wonder what it will take to change.

I am dead set against any corporate entity or business getting "help" from the govt. That is not the function of govt. I am also dead set against the govt getting any more of my money or borrowing anymore money but I find myself in a unique minority these days. As for my moral and ethical compass (I consider it one in the same) I use an absolute written standard for it that never changes whether I like it or not. It is a lot simpler that way

I would find it hard to be so black and white in such a grey world.
