(Stephen Hemsley, CEO of UnitedHealth)I am 58 years old.
Made nearly $102 million last year, but only $1.3 million of that was salary. Could you live on a measly $1.3 million? Me neither.
If Obama increases my taxes, I may not be able to afford my $37 million corporate jet. I'll need to scrimp in order to pay the property taxes on my $6.6 million home.
Oh wait. What am I thinking? My company has a virtual monopoly in at least 12 states. We'll simply raise the health insurance premiums for all of the little people.
Problem solved.
Quit blaming others.
I am the 1%.

Does that mean that I am not supposed to like him? He seems like kind of a regular guy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Lesley!
ReplyDeleteLove the tongue in cheek attitude of this... I think it is great to see the young generation FINALLY waking up and taking a stand against the corporate greed and it's slimy influence in every nook and cranny of America, especially in our government.
Good post! (As always)
Thanks Bruce and Jim! I wish I had more time to rant ... so many stories to tell, so little time.
ReplyDeleteKeep telling the stories. People have no clues and need to hear more.
