So these companies can stop doing business with the NRA because they disagree with them . But if a small business refuses to make a cake for someone they lose their business and everything they've worked hard for ............

Like a good republican, holding a little carrot of a tax break to influence behavior between two private entities. Then scream when a Democrat holds his little carrot out to influence behavior. Two peas in a pod driving this country into the ground. It's like they can't help it.

What is your solution? Honestly, you want to bicker and debate but you never suggest any solutions. So let’s hear it?

James said...

"But there are other translations. You said yourself that you judge performance in relation to salary. That also means you judge salary in relation to performance. In either event, you're saying, you want to know whether his performance justifies his salary.

We know the salary. It's an objective number. So the question is, how do we judge his performance to know whether he earns his salary?"


That's fair James.

If you want to discuss his performance I will be willing to have that talk.

But to just throw out his salary as a justification for getting rid of him doesn't sit well.

CEO's of non profits are judged on revenue, in that regard he is doing quit well.

Well maybe they can boot LaPierre and hire Pacelle. Pacelle might work cheaper.

So who's bent? I thought it was kind of funny.

Pacelle is probably enough of a prostitute to do it, if NRA were dumb enough to ask.

Mike, I didn't say Lapierre should be fired because of his salary. I just think he should be let go because he's being increasingly seen as a rabid dog to the larger public. Public sentiment has been recently turning toward gun control, his rantings to the contrary.

I just think his salary is pretty high form what he does. Pretty high price for a guy that delivers a few good speeches and hobnobs with lobbyists and politicians.

I'm still waiting for someone to point out how he earns it.

Ever wonder if that may the point of the whole merry-go round with the people who don't want you to have guns?

Keep the masses in a perpetal state of outrage and or fear (on both sides of an issue) and it greatly increases revenue.

Wayne L has been an incredibly great leader over the decades for NRA. Obviously you have your mind made up about him though.

There have always been folks that reap the rewards and find excuses not to pay their share of the burden!

Is this a government health insurance mandate statement, a closed shop vs. Right to work statement or a gun issue statement?

Just the ones that complain about everything and don't do anything but that, heck a guy can find anything he won't like if he wants to not fork out a few bucks, but can benefit from the ones that do pay. Apply it wherever you want if fits in a lot of places.

I know what you meant Jim.

Has LaPierre earned his salary? I guess that's up to the people who pay it.

Some think he's done well. Others don't. I reckon those who are dissatisfied can make it known by taking their dollars elsewhere.

I'm not sure how one would quantify his performance. Perhaps a list of bills/bans defeated by NRA intervention during his tenure?
