Business must answer to 'Occupy Wall Street' : Comments

By Adam Creighton, published 24/10/2011

Occupy Wall Street might be the latest manifestation of the culture of complaint, but they also have a point.

Pericles, I agree with you. George Trumbull is a great example
of boards screwing up completely in their judgement. Like
Australian management, Australian company board members show very
poor judgement at times.

The question for me is, would Bob Joss have moved to Australia
at the time, if he'd been offered much less? Moving continents
for a family man, can be a big and expensive decision.

So my point it that if a relatively low salary cap is put on
the CEOs job, could shareholders be the ultimate losers?

I think they just might. That does not change the fact that some
CEOs underperform and don't earn their salaries, much like other
employees don't earn theirs either.

Capitalism only has one eye. It has a very lopsided view of the quality of life of the masses. The world govt; must have a broad based agenda.
Not capitalist and not communist. A balanced mix of the two political systems. America has fallen in a hole because of a one eyed system, they are to free to be justified, and now see the consequences. In a society that everybody has guns, civil war has got a hair trigger. Without change of policy, all options are on the table.

579, you just perfectly described the type of "capitalism with a christian heart" that the land of OZ had before 1972.

Was it Fraser & Howard who introduced the "eCONomic reforms", (remove tarriff barriers, DEregulate the banksters) or was that comrades Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Krudd & Dillhard. Bear in mind that a carbon tax/price/ets = stealing money from the 99%, giving it ALL, to the 1%.

Before 1972 Australia had the highest living standards of any nation on earth, together with the smallest gap between rich & poor. We have been slipping ever since, the GAP has been widening every year, ever since & still is, thanks to "the workers friend".

Yabby & Pericles, still avoiding the bleeding obvious as usual, did either of you watch Q & A last night? "Juliar Dillhard could not sell heroin to an addict anymore", consensus of the entire panel.

Q, Why is this disillusionment with the left so deep with their traditional base? A, "there will be NO carbon tax under a government i lead" is not the only or most recent deliberate, premeditated lie, they have been betraying their "people" for half a century now, covering it up with spin & the sheeple are waking up.

in fact there is NO good news to attempt selling at all, every single last thing they have ever done is a disaster.

i dare any member of the RED/green, getup, GAYLP/alp, Socialist Alliance to name 1 single positive thing any of their governments have done federal, state or local anywhere in the land of OZ at any time over the last half century.
