Well 1 more word -- $400,000,000 -- The amount of money given to 1 EXXON employee as a parting gift, while the oil industry was accepting fed tax subsidies and pushing their "low profit margins".
Yet no one word from you complaining about the tax subsides. You blame Exxon rather than the government that grants certain businesses unfair competitive advantages with your tax dollars. Are you ignorant or chanpion of big-government fascism?
Zon -- take a look at the very lines you quoted. I mentioned tax subsidies. Look, I favor the free market. I suspect a free market education system {Vouchers} would set teacher salaries appropriately, but Teachers Unions prevent that option. I also suspect that a free market big business climate would set appropriate CEO salaries.
What IS an appropriate salary for either? I don't know. Neither does anyone else. The free market isn't working.
