[Toddsterpatriot]

Stock buy backs.
Corruption.

Stock buy backs are awful!

Parasites always need more corruption:

There's A Reason Why Stock Buybacks Used to Be Illegal | U.S. Congressman Sean Casten.

"For most of the 20th century, stock buybacks were deemed illegal because they were thought to be a form of stock market manipulation.

"But since 1982, when they were essentially legalized by the SEC, buybacks have become perhaps the most popular financial engineering tool in the C-Suite tool shed.

"And it’s obvious why Wall Street loves them: Buying back company stock can inflate a company’s share price and boost its earnings per share?—?metrics that often guide lucrative executive bonuses.

"As Reuters wrote recently, 'Stock buybacks enrich the bosses even when business sags.'"

If they were buying and selling, buying and selling, that might be a good point.
It was a stupid law.

Stock options weren't that big a thing until Clinton decided to punish highly paid
executives by making their cash salary above $1 million, non-deductible for the corporation.

Typical liberal idiocy, "fix" one problem, create a much bigger one. Fucking leftards.
