Why don't they do one for professional athletes? That would be even more "shocking". But it's fun to pick on our bosses huh? Good CEO's actually work hard.

Agreed, Tex. My uncle was CFO for an athletic shoe company for several years. He helped bring the company out of the shadows and helped make it huge. When he retired, the owner decided to try his hand at doing it. After 10 months, the board called my uncle back in, promised him beaucoup bucks to bring the company back to where it was, along with performance bonuses and the like. He doubled their expectation...because he was good at what he did...and they doubled the money he had been promised.

Of course, he didn't have to do it, and the company could have just kept going into the tank until it just fell apart, thereby having a lot of jobs lost, etc etc...

LOL!! No they don't.

Irrelevant though. I don't believe in government interference in private buisness no matter what.
