I'm not sure that wages can be controlled by corporations. It's a free market, wages are not government controlled, yet.
I think a lot of times politicians make claims about what they are going to do without realizing what the unintended consequences will be.
What if company A said to hell with profits and the shareholders, we are going to limit CEO pay to $1 million a year and increase the pay of all our workers making less than a certain amount by $20k a year? That would be great, wouldn't it? Or would it?
Anyone have any thoughts on how things might pan out for that company?
Barack Obama "did well" because his books started selling well. That's all. It's not as if the Bush economic policies per se made him wealthy, or even allowed him to keep a much-larger portion of his wealth than would otherwise have been the case. That's true in virtually ANY economy: make a product or write a book or a piece of software that everyone either needs or wants, and you will become wealthy, quickly, as long as you patent or copyright your intellectual property and are sharp enough to know how to get it distributed. But to credit Obama's recent surge in income to the Bush economic policies is a bit farfetched.
Using the barometer that healthy businesses do supply jobs and when they're not healthy, they don't supply as many, that's understandable in the trickle down department.

You're right, they did both vote for the bailout bill, and I was not pleased with that.
But they are not both proposing to allow the exclusion of $10 MILLION from estate taxes--only McCain is.
And they are not both proposing $52 billion in tax cuts that will primarily benefit the wealthy--only McCain is.
