[QUOTE="Alice, post: 376194, member: 3873"] I'm not sure that Frankie is advocating govt. controls on anything...at least she hasn't written that. My beef is a lot more basic...if the little guy is expected to suck it up and deal with it, then the CEO's should be held to the same standards...i.e, we should turn up/down our thermostats...we should curtail driving...we should [b]conserve[/b]. Fine, well and good. So should EVERYONE! I proposed that the CEO's turn up/down their thermostats in their 20,000 + sq. ft. houses...that they should curtail the excessive use of their private jets (talk about fuel consumption!)...and somehow, that was turned into advocating socialism :shock: ...when it's simply advocating setting by example if nothing else. As Frankie said, I believe, why should I cut back and do without comforts to help conserve when the CEO's flagrantly flaunt their toys and comforts simply because they CAN? Now show me where that is a socialistic point of view...and please, do it simply because afterwhile my eyes start to glass over when facts and numbers get crunched the way they've been getting crunched here. And remember, I'm talking about the mega wealthy CEOs, [b]only[/b]. Alice [/QUOTE]
