EU vows to hit back over US tariffs as businesses count cost

13. This is what is so difficult about trying to communicate on line.

Rather than face to face as we evolved to do. I think we pretty much agree on almost all issues. Over a beer or soft drink you and I would agree on most things.

I certainly agree corporations and the rich are paying nothing and it has to change.

And there are reasons for that. Allowing stock options for executives was illegal before the early 80s. So executives had to be paid an actual salary. And if it got too high it was taxed at 70%. To me this is the most detrimental change we ever made. It forces executives to think short term rather than trying to earn a very good salary for the long term and retire rich after running a successful company not driven by Wall Street. And if an executive does that I don’t begrudge them retiring rich. But our current laws actually encourage them to drive up profits, damn the employees, and then bail before the house of cards comes crashing down.

And when I said services I mean things like Banking, IT, and other well paid companies. It’s what London has thrived on. But Brexit will kill that goose laying the golden egg!

And I disagree that even real service worker cant make good money. Their corporations sure do. Their is just no legal mechanism to force a percentage of the profits going to the worker.

Again. Good discussion. Unfortunately it is late. If you respond I will in the morning.

Have a nice evening.
