    1) What was the law that got passed by Clinton regarding CEO salary?
    2) What was the "compensation" of each of the CEOs of Broadcom, First Data, and Live Nation Entertainment in 2018?
    3) How did they get around Clinton's salary limits?

    Boards of directors are going to give management an incentive to increase the value of the company. I'm sorry you have a problem with the way companies manage themselves.

    Well then, let's get back to this. ^^^

    That is a deflection. I said oil companies keep collecting drilling permits even though they aren't going to drill, and I stated why they do. And it explains for Dutch why oil companies are lusting after Venezuelan oil. So your above reply is a deflection.

    Would you like to try addressing the subject?

    Nope I say what I mean and mean what I say. I every socialist country the ones who are well off are the socialist while the masses suffer. Only in capitalist system is success and high standards of living broad based and of the masses.

    If you actually read the quote, he was only calling teachers who push socialism as losers, not all teachers. I disagree that these teachers are losers, and I don't think a lot of teachers are pushing socialism, but those that do aren't supposed to be pushing their beliefs on their students, and academia does lean left and does have an influence on college students.

    Trump, Jr. has about as much credibility as an empty ashtray. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has no idea what real work is and then run to daddy when he feels threatened.

    When people hear the word 'socialism', their antennae go up in the air thinking 'omg!! socialism!!'.
    There's many different forms of socialism. The right wing tends to pretend that all socialism is inherently Soviet-style communism or Stalinism: an oppressive totalitarian regime. But that's not true at all. It's a straw man meant to discredit the very concept of socialism. Were you aware that in 1935, FDR was accused of being a socialist because he proposed Social Security or that in 1965 Lyndon Johnson was accused of being a socialist because of Medicare, or that Barack Obama was called a socialist because of the Affordable Care Act? This is a label that republicans have used for at least 80 years. Every time the democrats propose something that turns out to be remarkably popular and durable they call them 'socialists'.

    For instance, 70% of Americans right now are in favor of 'Medicare for all' according to four different polls. And, 2/3rds of Americans are in favor of free college tuition of public universities. Go down the list, more than 50% want a $15 an hour minimum wage. These policies are fair and labels don't mean anything. 'Medicare for all' has proven in every country that has socialize medicine that it's far cheaper than our for-profit Medicare system that actually tries to avoid sick people. Ours is the most expensive health care system per capita in the entire world. Americans living standards and length of time that we're alive is actually shorter than any other advanced industrialized country. Everyone else has a single payer system that works and it's crazy that we don't.

    There's one thing that all forms of socialism have in common: they reduce economic inequality. This is precisely why billionaires and financially bloated corporations don't want to hear about it because it's them that's going to have to pay up more money through taxes.

    Democratic Socialism is actually a new phrase introduced by Bernie Sanders, as far as I can tell. It clearly sounds like European Social Democracy, and Sanders explicitly points to Scandinavia for his examples. But he also explicitly calls it Socialism, rather than merely "Social". It could be that's because since the 1990s, many European labor parties have embraced some degree of neoliberalism (the "privatize/deregulate everything" attitude inspired by Reagan and Thatcher) and abandoned their socialist roots in the eyes of many. Sanders cares about those socialist roots. But he also wants to assure Americans who are used to the "Red Scare" that his socialism has nothing to do with the tyrannical Soviet-style socialism, and is firmly democratic.

    Don't get your point. But I can say that once they were in high school the decision on attending church and choice of denomination was up to them. As should the decision of whether to support a Political Party.
    They should be able express their political opinions without criticism from their Professors.

    Most of all Europe is not socialist. But China was until it started injecting capitalism as was Russia and look at NK and Venezuela.
