I had thought to start a new software company with a new direction and idea, but there won't be much point if the govt establishes the principle IT can arrogate what my idea can do for me, those I work with, and if this idea is very successful, major and future managers and part owners.NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY MARCH 21, 2009
The Obama administration will call for increased oversight of executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies as part of a sweeping plan to overhaul financial regulation, government officials said.The outlines of the plan are expected to be unveiled this week in preparation for President Obama's first foreign summit meeting in early April.
Officials said the proposal would seek a broad new role for the Federal Reserve to oversee large companies, including major hedge funds, whose problems could pose risks to the entire financial system.
It will propose that many kinds of derivatives and other exotic financial instruments that contributed to the crisis be traded on exchanges or through clearinghouses so they are more transparent and can be more tightly regulated. And to protect consumers, it will call for federal standards for mortgage lenders beyond what the Federal Reserve adopted last year, as well as more aggressive enforcement of the mortgage rules.
The administration has been considering increased oversight of executive pay for some time, but the issue was heightened in recent days as public fury over bonuses spilled into the regulatory effort.
If this is not shot down immediately, then what would we be fighting the war on terror for, again? The right of a federal govt to own me? Own my potential? Own yours?
Barack Obama, if this is true, not only has no right to the office, he is a danger to the republic as it was founded.
Anyone running around thinking, 'well this will never affect me, this is about the head of GM' is in denial. This govt is trying to establish they have the RIGHT to decide what you can achieve, what your mind, your effort, and your thought is worth.
This idea, this principle, if TRUE as the NYT states, is as destructive to this republic as ANY IDEA the alien freaks of Al Qaeda, Shia Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, or KSA ever wanted.
This idea that the govt has the right to determine ANYONE'S (non govt) pay is TREASON.
In the administration they will belittle opposition, as the hysterical rantings of those who say no to progress, so it is essential that THEY be identified as corrupt looters whose power hungry, self enriching, tainted inner compulsions are ANTI-AMERICAN. The ENEMY will seek to frame this as if they are protecting the many from the few, but they are only protecting themselves from Americans. IF THIS IS TRUE.
I guess then I am with the REVOLUTIONARIES:
we give up any natural right".
"All men are born free and independent, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights, among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties; that of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; in fine, that of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness. "
"nothing is more common than for a free people, in times of heat and violence, to gratify momentary passions, by letting into the government, principles and precedents which afterwards prove fatal to themselves."
This nation was founded in revolution over tax, which is to say,, PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Every single person who voted for this administration must now think carefully if they want the America of Jefferson or the America of Obama.
They are not the same place.
The strike is coming. The looters must be seen naked.

You are absolutely correct.
I've been watching the progress of the Obama Admin. for the past few weeks, and thinking (but trying to tell myself that I'm "Just being paranoid" at the same time) that this is where it's leading.
And now, I see that I was not, at all, being paranoid.
Obama is out of line with the American Tradition.
I have been casually predicting that what may happen is
1) the people will become so unhappy with Obama that there will be a mass revolt
2) which will scare the Congresspeople and Senators (2010 is not very far away)
3) which will bring them to draft and vote on a resolution declaring the policies of the Obama Administration to be out-of-line with the American Tradition
4) a 80-85% Yes vote on such a resolution would have the same effect as a "No Confidence" vote in the Parliamentary system,
5) meaning that Obama might be forced to step down as leader of the United States
I know it sounds like I'm dreaming, but Epa, you put it well here. Obama "has no right to the office, he is a danger to the republic as it was founded."
His ascension amid the failure of Lehman bros. has, almost as bad as his election revealed JUST HOW FAR to the left the democratic congress is, especially its leadership.
It's not our paranoia...in the NYT article the debate among the dem leaders in congress is over whether the Fed. Reserve is the right enforcer or not, not whether this is the most fucked up idea of all time... are any of these MORONS wondering if the american people will be venomously pissed?
As Chucky Schumer said... they think 'the american people just don't care'
RAILS
TAR
FEATHERS
and if that fails and the people
a) don't care
b) want this
then it really is time for the few who invent, start, take risk, work like hell, and are all for professional excellence to withdraw silently and STRIKE while we do other things out of our expertise to at least be comfortable while this society glides and then crashes without our intervention.
This used to be a hell of a country

"The right of a federal govt to own me?"
Clearly, you're paying attention now. You are already owned by the federal government, they're just making it more obvious now. If you don't think you are owned by them, I challenge you to do ANYTHING without asking their permission--you will be breaking the law. They own your property (try not paying property taxes), they own your labor (try not paying income taxes), and yes, their own your potential (try starting a business or selling anything without asking permission).
