How this type of people can steal from the shareholders and wage earners and grant themselves earnings beyond any reasonable figure is hard to fathom. They can't have any pride in the company and its success. The emphasis has to placed only on themselves. The recent scandals have shown that the typical company, with this type of management, fails because of the capital looted from the business.
This is part of the 'feel good', 'to hell with the other guy' attitude which has taken over our country. The United States cannot survive over a period of time with this attitude. Capitalism does not give license for robbery, which these scandals surely show.
Oddly enough, it wasn't long ago you would have been flamed by many here saying it wasn't any of your business how much a CEO was compensated, nor are YOU capable of determining what a "reasonable figure" is, that they are worth it...they run the country..errr I mean company.
They would be the same ones (globalists) screaming about your high pay and and union wages VS cheap foreign labor .....
OH yea, they'd also be telling you how important it would be for YOU if corporate taxes were eliminated because the poor babies don't have money to invest.
I was talking with a man yesterday who has lost $100,000 in the stock market (it's times like this that I'm glad I never had much to invest) and his whole retirement is now in jeopardy. Like he said ---why does mugging someone for $100 in their wallet or robbing a bank for $2000 get you jail time but these "white-collar" crooks expect to get off scot-free?
