Fury Over Facebook IPO Grows, Lawsuits Mount | Breakout - Yahoo! Finance

"They've done a lot of reputational damage to their brand, and that matters," says my co-host Jeff Macke in the attached video. He argues that the Silicon Valley company, renowned for its "thumbs-up and chums and we're all friends," has alienated its fans in a big way."

Fury Over Facebook IPO Grows, Lawsuits Mount | Breakout - Yahoo! Finance:

"This is not how it was supposed to go. The long-awaited debut was supposed to be the fairytale ending (or beginning) to the great growth story of the modern era. Instead, it has become just one big mess that's not only an embarrassment to all parties involved but a huge distraction to a business when it is supposed to be focusing on ways to grow its revenue."

Study: CEO Pay Increased 127 Times Faster Than Worker Pay Over Last 30 Years | ThinkProgress

Study: CEO Pay Increased 127 Times Faster Than Worker Pay Over Last 30 Years | ThinkProgress:

"Compensation for chief executives at American companies grew 15 percent in 2011 after a 28 percent rise in 2010, part of a larger trend that has seen CEO pay skyrocket over the last three decades. Workers, on the other hand, have been left behind."

'...American income inequality has skyrocketed,
growing worse than it is in countries like Pakistan and
Ivory Coast. Wealth inequality is worse than it was
even in Ancient Rome. And, as pay skyrockets and tax
rates fall for the richest Americans, the rising
inequality has left the bottom 95 percent of Americans
saddled with more debt than ever before.'

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters not to buy into the "BS" of GOP-driven tax and spending claims and pointed to a Wall Street Journal MarketWatch column that noted that government spending is rising at its slowest pace since the 1950s. Far from heeding that advice, right-wing media figures relied on misleading economic talking points to attack Carney."
