""Blanket statements are wrong!"

Was that for this issue in particular, or is it a blanket statement? "

LOL

Some are and some are not!

In my opinion, anybody able to convince another human being they are worth $40 million a year -- and keep a straight face while doing it -- is worth every penny.

I agree that some are and some not. Lee Raymond, CEO for EXXON receives 1 million in salary. But he has stock options which are breathtaking. If you go to XOM.com you will see a menue of insider trades. It reveals that Mr. Raymond Monthly, Monthy, will liquidate 50,000 one month, 200,000 the next month. Sometimes he will remove or liquidate several times. His liquidation account for anywhere from 15 million to 2 million per month.

I don't know, but there seems to be a lot of money. The stock options of the company are part of his contract and I therefore do not think they are illigal, but rather obscene.
