Bill Oreilly was complaining about the outgoing CEO of Exxon Mobil making too much money and Cavuto pointed out that Oil Company CEOs provide a much bigger service to society then talk show hosts who also make millions...Bill was speechless.
The US uses 360 million gallons of gas each day.
The CEO just got $1 of each for ONE day.
Get over his retirement moiney. I heard he is worth it.
So good that the production staff in the studio got caught up in it and were audibly keeping themselves from clapping when Cavuto brought the hammer down in the last sentence.
I was sitting there thinking, "Damn....you kick ass."
If I still watched TV, I'd watch his show.
he understands the illegal immigration and free trade issues - the true effects of them.
Thanks for your reply. I didn't think you knew. I've assisted a number of folks with MS and it is a nasty disease to deal with for the person who has it. I think Neill has guts and courage to do his show every day despite the exacerbations that occur.
Bill just has absolutely no comprehension of the oil industry.
Why does he think oil companies are to be charities while any other industry is free to market its products?
Yet, I have for years felt that the CEO's are playing the baseball player salary game. Funny how they compare salaries of other like organizations to determine employee salaries - funny that they results usually indicate that comparable position salaries are lower.
Funny how the CEO's compare like organization salaries and always seem to find that their salaries are too low.
Sort of like a round-robin. Salaries for executives always spiral upward, salaries for normal employees do not.
I have always felt it was robbery from the top by the CEO's. Stockholders are the only ones that can change it, and there are too many institutional funds that restrict stockholder ability to bring about change.
Well as a side note, I am a lover of the simple and content life, over the greedy, get-ahead-at-all cost life.
But, the key word in your statement is "generally." How do we know that this guy earned it? that this $400 million gift wasn't a case of corporate excess?
tell us, what a guest worker program? its socialism. a guest worker program is not free market capitalism - its socialism for corporations, they get access to cheap labor, and the costs of sustaining them in this society are passed collectively to the taxpayers.
Cavuto may be in a wheelchair as he has MS or one of the debilitating diseases!
What does "Negro" have to do with anything?
And which one has an IQ of 89 and is making 17 million? (I'd be a bit suprised, but then again, I don't follow pro basketball at all.)
Here's the difference. The ball player is getting paid to play the game, NOT to leave the game.
Big Difference
Very likely. However, I don't hear CEOs complaining about Bill's salary...
Yeah and Cavuto's crippled....I wouldn't put it past BO'R to hide his crutches. That's how he rolls....lol
Got ya by 26 seconds :)
34 seconds.... (oops)
How about a white baseball player with an IQ of 79 making $27 million a year. Race has NOTHING to do with it.
Never mind that Cavuto has a neuro-muscular disease, and I believe that he's confined to a wheel chair, though I could be wrong.

Good idea.
