    You certainly can have an opinion, that is what I am illustrating. Nobody cares what people think about other peoples transactions. You think executives are paid too much. Some other guy might think they are paid to little some other guy might think its just right.

    There are two relevant people in a transaction. The payer and the payee. Both are voluntary positions that if you do not want to be a part of you don't have to be. Are you unable to manage that?

    You are entitled to your opinion. You are not entitled to stifle my opinion. Got that, chief? It's very simple.

    Are you unable to have an opinion on anything that you are not the payer or payee upon? Are your opinions slaved directly to the policy of another party? Are you unable to have an opinion on Pepsi Cola just because you bought one?

    It's a peabrained notion that I cannot have opinions on the policies of companies that I own. You've painted yourself into a logical corner and you can only make arguments that are more and more foolish.

    Ok, duly noted. Some dude is paid an amount and you do not approve. Got it.

    The system can be rigged, despite the reverence and praise that capitalism demands.
