VIDEO: Ellison Wants Nanny State To Regulate CEO Pay

Liberal Bomb Thrower Keith Ellison Never Heard The Word Capitalism
It's simply amazing that a group of people who take more days off in a calendar year than they actually work, can't balance a budget, accept bribes disguised as campaign contributions, and whose general behavior would land most Americans in jail, would have the cojones to say "We're gonna tell you how to run your company."

Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) stated during a Bloomberg interview on Wednesday, that he wants the nanny state to start regulating what companies should pay their CEO's.

The Liberal loony toon Congressman and potential 2020 Presidential candidate went on to say the country should be having a larger conversation with companies about the social cost of income inequality and pay disparities.

Ellison said his report about newly disclosed figures showing CEOs made 339 times more on average than the companies medium worker. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandated the pay disclosures as part of the Dodd-Frank banking reform legislation, and Ellison said transparency is just the beginning.

Bloomberg host David Westin asked: "Are you favoring the government actually regulating the relationship between CEO pay and the average worker?"

"I think it is a very good idea, and I think we should start talking about it," Ellison replied.

Louis Farrakhan's buddy also made the observation that some companies are focused on hiring only part-time workers to avoid paying healthcare cost but amazingly Ellison didn't cite "Obamacare" as a reason why many companies hire part-time rather than full-time workers.

In one of Ellison's more ludicrous diatribes, the open border, illegal immigrant supporting hypocrite actually cried that companies are hiring more overseas, instead of paying American workers.
