That's impressive coming from scumer.
I'd have expected him to ask for that power for the US president. |

| Democratic Senator Schumer's proposal is going in the right direction, away from the pervasive Republican cronyism of the past administration. Shareholders need their rights enforced by the SEC. The boards of many companies are owned, governed, and administrated by their CEO, for the benefit of the CEO. It's far time that independent board members oversee these overcompensated CEO's. |

I didn't read it but have issue with the word right being used.
As our founding document states, we beleive Rights to be divinely granted by the Creator. They cannot be taken away by man, only surrendered by those who were granted them.
A legislator made and will grant this. A legislator can repeal and take it away. If it can be denied or taken from you, it is not a Right, but a Privilege.
Words have to mean something. If we can change the meanings of words at will, then they mean nothing.
My predictions is companies will cut more corners, outsource more and gouge even harder to increase margins. The CEO's will be just as gluttonous, they will just have to authorise bigger checks to do so. |

He created it. He controls it. He gave it to us for His use. Why did we turn from sound scriptural currency that PROTECTS us?

Maybe holders of Chrysler bonds can petition Sen Schumer to get their rights restored after the Federal government just ripped them off.
This emerging new cronyism is a wonderful thing to behold. |
