LOL! Go stick your head back in the sand.

Some of us have been predicting this since the first talk of Obamacare. Nobody wanted to hear it and I was scoffed at. Just like you probably think that the quality of doctors will stay the same and not go down.

Yep, keep your head in the sand...

It's balanced with how much the CEO's and Upper management make. They would rather cut key employees (the ones that interact with consumers) than cut back on CEO salaries, bonuses, benefits, etc.. The CEO of Comcast makes 2.9 million a year PLUS bonuses, PLUS stock options, PLUS bennies like: private jet, corporate suites. The kicker is he gets paid full salary, bonuses, benefits up to five years AFTER HIS DEATH. This insanity has to end.

Brian Roberts, the CEO of cable company Comcast Corp., received a compensation package valued at $31.1 million in 2010, up 14 percent from a year earlier as the company worked to complete a deal to become the majority owner of NBCUniversal.Most of the increase came in the form of a performance-based cash bonus of $10.9 million, up from $8.2 million a year earlier.


The company’s board used a formula based on the company’s cash flow and revenue and a subjective factor to determine that Roberts bonus should have been $13.4 million, but said that he and other top executives had asked not to receive their full bonuses.

Roberts, who also serves as president and chairman, received stock and option awards worth $11.2 million last year, up 3 percent from a year earlier, according to a proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Roberts received a base salary of $2.8 million in 2010, down 4 percent from $2.9 million in 2009.


Roberts and other executives had asked that their salaries be frozen through February 2011, the company said, adding that the difference is due to an extra pay period in 2009.


His compensation package also included $2.9 million in above-market benefits on deferred compensation. This is up 29 percent from $2.25 million in 2009.


In addition, Roberts received other compensation totaling $3.2 million last year, up 9 percent from $2.9 million in 2009. His perks in 2010 included $3 million in company contributions to his deferred compensation plans. He also was awarded $10,000 in company contributions to retirement-investment plan accounts, and $195,767 for the personal use of company aircraft.

"How dare you! He earned that money by being a visionary entrepenurial business leader! If he did not get paid those sums of money there would be a talent vacuum in the corporate world. No one runs a business for the shear joy of it!You liberals with your crazy ideas are going to keep millionaires from saving our economy. He had planned to build a new mansion, but with the shrinking profits, he may only be able to afford a 6,000 square foot house. The humiliation."

I am not suprised at all. It is the logical course of action. I agree with you, everyone knew this would happen.
Big money people dont give up their money, they squeeze it out of everyone else. Any increase they pay will be paid by the consumer, not the owners. It is a flawed premise to begin with, dem policies only work in a utopia where there is no such thing as greed and selfishness. Greed and selfishness are two of the most prominent traits in those who play in the big money scene.
