Reading

through the US Constitution once again, I am surprised, totally surprised really that I could not find one shred of authority granted to the United States government to do this. I mean, after all, it wouldn't be right if our government was acting above the law; and they'd never do that, right?
The U.S. pay czar will cut in half the average compensation for 175 employees at firms receiving large sums of government aid, with the vast majority of salaries coming in under $500,000, according to people familiar with the government's plans.
If the government can dictate the salaries of these 175 people, they can dictate your salary.

And for those who would say that to compare the socialists who are running our government today with the Nazi party (you know, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei aka the National Socialist German Workers' Party) I would encourage you to take a look at the National Socialist Party's 25 points, in this case, the following points:

11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.

12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

Yeah, nothing in common with the American Socialists running DC today.
