The Doctors and Drug Companies are Next

Since our Dear Leader and Congress now dictate corporate pay and apparently have the power to fire executives of private companies, my bet is that health care is next. You'll hear all sorts of rhetoric about excessive doctor pay and windfall drug profits, all of which will need to be sacrificed at the altar of the 'greater good,' whatever that is... It's funny to me that whether its a star athlete or a corporate executive, people from outside those professions always seem to know what proper compensation levels should be, and are always the most vocal about it...

Oh, by the way, I hereby extend my apologies to President Obama for off-handedly likening him to Kim Jong Il with the 'Dear Leader' reference. If that speech is now a violation of law, I plead ignorance, and throw myself on the mercy of the court.
