| Free Markets Do Not Exist There is no such thing as a free market. Whether it is regulation or economics there is always a constraining influence when someone tries to sell something to somebody else. Anyone who pushes the concept of the "free market" regulating or influencing the consumers ability to purchase is blowing smoke. Even the kid selling lemonade is regulated in some fashion. What we really should be seeking is a balance between government and business that actually, really, truly, for sure provides the individual consumer with the greatest number of choices at the lowest possible price.

But then the corporation's CEOs won't be able to swim in an Olympic-size pool filled with $100 bills! |

Look at how many times you see "Sprint Nextel Corp." on these list. Kind of makes me wonder if half of that money were put back into the company instead of few guys pockets if the shareholder might not of done a little better as well as the customers. Thats a combined $143,853,350 "Sprint Nextel Corp." paid out to FIVE men in Total Compensation for 2006. If that figure were dived in half that leaves $71,926,675. If that were dived over the 80,000 employees at "Sprint Nextel Corp." that would of given every employ an additional $899.08 for their 2006 salary. That would of left the lowest paid of these FIVE guys at "Sprint Nextel Corp." making a minuscule $2,768,157. |
