No need to hang around.... I used your stuipity to make my point with Rob, you can go now
Unless you are now backpeddling and contradicting yourself..., and now you are saying the opposite oif what you claimed, and saying that the constitution requires word for word Interpretation ?
Is that what your saying AWOL ?

The 14th amendment...pretty much trumped the 9th and 10th
Dont blame the SCOTUS

Better yet, where does it say in the constitution that Lobbyist should be able to manipulate the government with contributions?

The same place it says "he who spends the most has the best chance of winning".

All I am saying is that goverment doesn't have the right to say how much money a private company can pay a CEO.

Nice way of weaseling your way out.
Your post was not sarcasm. It was utter stupidity in which you put your foot inside you mouth. Kind of like when you claimed that i was a Nazi and hated Jews.

No it doesn't. But when you are talking about energy in which there are no alternatives available to Americans such as oil don't you think that gouging the people is unacceptable? Would a government in which truly cares about it's citizens regulate how much they could make off of the only source of energy available so that it doesn't effect the economy in a negative way?
Is this supposed to be a country for We the People or We the CEO's ?
Do you remember 100 years ago when trolley cars were in every large city only for the oil companies to come in and pay off local governments one by one to rid the trolley cars and replace them with buses instead because they ran on gas and their tires were made from oil?
Is that the American way?
Maybe in the eyes of a capitalist .
I support we the people. Sad part is......We the People no longer have control of our own country.

The answer to this question is simple....
This is not some deep Constitutional question
Once a company becomes publicly traded, they agree to become a regulated entity, and that includes anything that can impact investors,,Including saleries...,that is the trade off
You want an unregulated stock and securities exchange ?
Think Enron, Worldecom and Herbert Hoover…then be careful what you wish for
