Government - November 2007

Forbes recently posted the salaries of the top 10 executives. The #1 has an annual sarlary of $686 Million dollars. The #10 guy got $98 million dollars. The President of the United States salary is $200 thousand. The president's current salary would put him at number 785 on the list of the 800 highest paid corporate chief executive officers.

Now does this seem right to you? CEOs are responsible for one company and they make that much more than the President of the US?

Many professional athletes have salaries larger than the President and they only play a game. I haven't looked it up but how many pro athletes have larger salaries then the President. I know it's a lot. The President gets held responsible for everything that happens and he doesn't have control of very much.

Should THIS be something Congress should be looking into? And what should they be doing, if anything?

Enough is enough ... people of WB is tired of onlooking the drama now and then performed by Mamata Banerjee .. the lastest her fake resignation from the Parliament in Nandigram issue. Catching "eyeballs" before the cameras .. snatching news paper headlines ..sound bites with jargons of negative words ..anti developmental-economic stands .. calling for help to the NDA and the UPA all at a time .. stalling normal life in the name of "Bangla Aachal" (it's a new version of Bengal Bondh) .. moving with big caravan with cameramen of stooge Media channel /s, spreading rumors in the name of news .. un-leashing terror with diverse political forces like Naxals ..these have become tiresome.

Her latest resignation, the fourth time, was against "Ousted villagers returning to Nandigram" - yes there was some blood-shed though, the area-grabbers were with guns as it was since last eleven months. It was deliberately addressed to the PM .. not the Parliament Speaker .. since cancelled. Next ?

Pakistan's leader Pervez Musharraf has run over Pakistan's constitution and removed the rights of many Pakistani citizens; all done in the name of fighting terrorism and its threat to democracy.

And as I read this, I couldn't help but notice that it sounded rather familiar to me in here in America. Interestingly enough, similar events have happened in England and now in Australia as well.

It seems to me that Bush's attempt to protect democracy from terrorism, seems to be losing democracy not only in America but in nearly every country allied with America. Does it seem that way to all of you as well?

1. Outside influences can play a part in the passage or rejection of a bill.

2. The Founding Fathers expected and planned for the power of outside influences on Congress.

3. The State of the Union is first given at the House of Representatives, because it is the forum of the people.

Why are there Commonwealths? I dont understand why they just dont make them states. Everyone in them are US citizens right? I guess what iam trying to say is what is the point behind them being in the status that they are, and not a state.
