Is it "stalinist" to make the observation that: "Some CEOs get paid waaaay too much, even if they do bad work"??
Bob Nardelli (Home Depot CEO) and his $210 Million exit package is a poster boy for this innocuous remark.

...you're right! The Government has the right to tell Bob Nardelli how much is enough.~sarc- We all make choices. (I know. That old argument again) Nardelli hiked sales from 45.7 billion $$ to 80 billion $$ in 2005!! He increased earnings per share by 20% annualized in the same year. HE built this company with his brains and business savvy. Just because you run the fertilizer department in store #1856 better than all 1960 stores, doesn't put you in the "share money with Nardelli" department. It's his store, he runs it as he sees fit. His employees always seem pretty happy to me when I go in there. They own shares and they get to take advantage of Nardelli's hard work and improved earnings. You have NO right, nor does the Stalinist I referred to earlier, to dictate what a private business does with thier money. Bush's "income inequality" gap speech is leftist rubbish! The Dem agenda is obviously class warfare and Bush seems more than happy to hop on the band wagon with them.
