(2009-03-22) — With the debate over AIG executive bonuses nearly bringing official Washington to a standstill in the past three weeks, the Obama administration today expanded its plan to control Wall Street executive pay, adding provisions to limit compensation for star performers in the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB).
“Some of these sports stars, like AIG execs, have negotiated sweetheart deals paying them millions of dollars, and yet they lose games,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs. “The president shares the outrage of the American people at these obscene salaries and bonuses. There’s nothing that makes the little people feel littler than the thought of these fat cats getting fatter just because that have specialized skills that are in high demand in a free-market economy.”
Indeed, the White House released a recent poll showing that 75 percent of Americans answered ‘Yes’ to the following question: “Do you believe President Obama should personally limit the compensation of anyone who earns a lot more than you do?”
“How hard can it be to show up on Sunday and toss a few passes?” said Mr. Gibbs. “The fact that some people earn a lot more money than others just demonstrates the savage inequalities inherent in a capitalist system, and explains why the president has taken deliberate action to end it.”
Under the terms of the pay-limit plan, the president would appoint a panel of university economists, union leaders, and “ordinary American community organizers” to establish paycheck parity between average hourly-wage workers and the people “who have carved out for themselves an unequal portion of the pie.”
“In America you can dream as big as you want, but everyone agrees we need strict controls on those whose dreams have come true,” Mr. Gibbs said. “The people deserve a system in which there are no limits to your potential, only to your achievements.”
The proposal would exempt most Hollywood stars and popular recording artists, he said, “since much of their money is already returned to the people in the form of contributions to the Democrat party and its candidates.”

Well, they’ve been talking about taxing those AIG bonuses at a rate of 90%…which is less than the highest tax bracket of 95% way back when. Maybe they want to bring that back, huh?
? “There’s one for you, nineteen for me, ’cause I’m the taxman…” ?

The Hollywood Exemption is outrageous. Why settle for just “much of their money” when others, like the homeless folks who donated thousands to the Obama campaign, have given so much more?

Most pro-athletes play in stadiums funded by taxpayer dollars. Like taxpayer supported banks, athletes should be limited to $500,000 maximum salaries.

Are you ready for this tidbit re influence-peddling? Chunderroad, a commenter at hotair posted this one:
Lou Dobbs ran a segment with figures from Opensecrets.org regarding who on Capitol Hill gets the most from these bailed out institutions. Judd Gregg and Roy Blunt barely received any money as ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee and House Minority Whip, respectively.
Do you want to admit now that Chairman Frank and Chairman Dodd have blocked regulation on their committees, as well as moving forward legislation that has created a lot of this systematic risk that we are facing?
According to Opensecrets.org, the Web site for the Center for Responsive Politics, on the Democratic side from 1989 to present, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd has accepted a total of $13,205,556 in campaign contributions, both in PAC and individual money, from the finance, insurance of real estate sectors.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank has accepted a total of $2,494,611 in campaign contributions from the same sectors. In Frank’s case, top donors include employees from the American Bankers Association, the company that’s just bought Washington Mutual, JPMorgan Chase, and the National Association of Realtors. In the case of Senator Dodd, top donors include Citigroup, Bear Stearns and JPMorgan Chase. Dodd and Frank now play key roles in bailout talks.

Toolman #8 - “Who died and made Obama God?” I believe it was Friedrich W. Nietzsche, German philosopher. He is known for formulating the idea of the Übermensch (superman aka Obama), who can rise above the restrictions of ordinary morality.
Nietzsche said, “There is no God.”
God said, “There is no Nietzsche.”
In the midst of all this mess - it’s a good thing that God has a great sense of humor. Only one of the two was right.
Looking around I don’t believe anyone has seen Nietzsche for quite awhile, but I look around and see God everywhere! He’s certainly not a former Community Organizer/1st term junior senator from Illinois or a illegal alien from Nairobi, Kenya.
Deut. 6:15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

Slightly OT:
Conservatism is at least 2064 years old. (See below):
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom
should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” - Cicero - 55 BC

24 RedPepper // Mar 22, 2009 at 5:13 pm
MajorDomo: Conservatism may be thousands of years old, but at least parts of that quote are probably not. If what I’ve read is accurate, this is what Cicero actually said:
“The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.”
The rest of the quote may have been added by the editors of the Kansas City Star :
“In an editorial on January 15, 1986, the Kansas City Star quoted Cicero
at length to bolster its own views about government spending. But the
editor gave no source for his quotation and, when pressed to do so by
skeptics, was unable to come up with any documentation. The Cicero
statement sounds more like a disgruntled American critic of the welfare
state than the Roman statesman.”
See here.
And also here.
Ross Perot is among those who have used the ‘expanded’ verion of the quote, btw.

I think it is time for the administration to give some serious consideration to allowing some companies to fail, if not forcing them to fail - like maybe AIG. We are tossing untold zillions down that AIG open sewer and getting nothing out of it.
Time to bite the bullet, take our lumps and move on to other companies/institutions that are worth saving.
I believe I may be absorbing some republican philosophy here to which I think [ and have thought all along ] Obama should take into consideration. Repubs aren’t all wrong, altho the repubs think the dems are 100 % wrong.

Newsman #30: Truth is where you find it.
A lot of people agree with your opinion that we need to stop throwing “zillions” down an “open sewer”, & I wouldn’t limit that to AIG.
But, I would also point out, that is not the only thing you should find alarming. The Democrats were strident in their criticism of budget deficits under Bush (a record $438 billion for 2008). I’m waiting for them to express their opinion of a projected $1.845 trillion deficit for 2009, with trillion-plus deficits following in subsequent years, for a decade.
And those projections may be optimistic !

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Monday unveiled a plan aimed at persuading private investors to help rid banks up to $1 trillion in toxic assets that that are seen as a roadblock to economic recovery.
“This is more than disappointing,” Krugman wrote in The New York Times. “”In fact it fills me with a sense of despair.”
