So Carl Icahn now wants us to believe he care about the poor American worker, and the income

disparity between the CEOs, and those who work for them.

Icahn has written a policy paper which he sent to Trump on income inequality, and from all appearances this is where Trump is getting his advice.

Carl Ichan, now saying he cares about the average American worker. This asshole made his money as a corporate raider for decades. Thousands lot their jobs as this jackass took controlling ownership of the companies they worked for, and then bled them dry, without reinvesting for the future in the company. TWA is the prime example of one of the companies Icahn pillaged and bankrupted. Icahn and Trump are both garbage

On the pointy end of the pitchforks when they come for him. I guess he figures he should placate the unwashed masses before they wind up running him through. Sounds like he watched Nick Hanauer's TED talk.

Or at his current age of 80, he's thinking about how he can get into heaven. Mortality is a bitch.

A few have come to the conclusion that it's time to toss a few dollars the way of the masses before this has the potential to get very messy.

I recall what he did to TWA and he is not a person whom I hold in any esteem.
