Executive compensation on Wall Street: Assuaging public anger or the real thing
02/04/2009
Its not clear whether these controls on pay practices are adequate, or too little too late. With bills being watered down in Congress on derivatives trading and other risk prevention measures. The intense lobbying of the financial industry against prudent regulation. The voices of wiser minds like Volcker and Mervyn King of the Bank of England calling for strong action. And the jobless numbers going the other way. Most recently at the Barr Trucking Company in Indiana, where 500 resumes were received for a $13 an hour assistant position.

The bad side of incentive based executive compensation
12/31/2008
Executive pay and bonuses are paid based on incentives to produce good performance. But the parameters that measure performance such as share price can be manipulated resulting in a perverse sytem that incentivizes bad decisions costly to the company even while executives are earning large or grossly disproportionate pay and bonuses. This happened at Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and other financial firms that collapsed or reached the brink of collapse.

Increasing U.S. taxes on the middle class
04/12/2009
The Wall Street Journal points to the facts that Warren Buffett does not cover in his plea for higher taxes on billionaires like himself who paid only 17% in taxes in 2010. Buffett made most of his income in capital gains and dividends that are taxed at 15%. That income was already taxed at 35% as corporate income and the 15% on top of that brings the total tax to about 45%. Buffett could write the IRS a check or support taking away the deduction for charitable contributions which is how Buffett contributes to his foundations. For most of the middle class couples making $250,000 for a few years of their life- and much of it going to high university tution payments for kids- the higher taxes make a difference compared to the Buffetts of the world. This is part of the debate on taxes in the U.S. at the time of the fiscal cliff negotiations in Dec. 2012.

A Question of Trimming Pay at Goldman Sachs - Breakingviews
New York Times 10/06/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
