Aplus if you were to win the lottery tomorrow and the gov. was going to get 750 million of your winnings in taxes but you were going to get 250 million wouldn't you still be a pretty happy guy?

YES!

Now answer me this, You had $100,000.00 invested last year in your cattle operation and at the end of they ear you made $8,500.00 in profit are you a happy guy? Yes or no?

That is comparing apples to apples, the oil companies make around 8.5% profit for every dollar they spend.

Windfall taxing someone for having an 8.5% return on their dollar is ludicrous!

That would really be good on my cattle operation after I had already paid myself 50,000 in salary for being its ceo. Do you think that 8.5% you keep mentioning is before or after all the perks the top exec's get? Also I guess if I decide to quit or lose my operation because of bad practices I can still walk away with at least a couple of years salary complements of my customers??

You are just so jealous of your fellow man you get hung up on one mans salary! Get over it CEO's get paid good, Baseball players get paid good.

Why should a basketball player make 15 million dollars a year on a losing team but a CEO can not make 10 million dollars a year for a winning company that made 50 Billion dollars?

I think it is awesome that the CEO's and the Ball Players make such large salaries! Just think of all the T-Bone steaks, all the cars they buy, just think of all the taxes they pay, airline tickets they buy. They stimulate and grow the economy.

Just think of all the CEO's and Sports players that pay millions of dollars in taxes each year so me and you can play smaller amounts. If the CEO of Exxon pays a million or so in taxes each year that affords me and you the opportunity to pay a few thousand even though we all receive the same benefits and protection from the government.

You libs will just not be happy until wealth is distrubuted equally as entitlement instead of earned. I forget does that make you Socialist, Communist, Marxist or just plain selfish?
