One of my favorite books growing up. The miniseries was lame.

Great story. Makes me sick to be an American. We're a greedy society, and the executives have made themselves multi-millionaires at the expense of its workers.

This reminds me about an article in USA Today recently in the green section where they feature a single real estate market and the highest priced home and the median home. In this article it featured IND, and the most expensive in town. It was the CEO of "i believe" a drug company, although this may not be correct. Anyhow this CEO had rebuilt Versailles. This pompus prick thought he was King Louis XIV of IND. This is what our system has allowed. The return of Royalty. Something like 30 Million in friggin IND. Guess he deserved it after no doubt outsourcing/downsizing of employees and probably running the company into the ground?

Don't worry, it will all trickle down on us serfs.

That guy just "worked harder" than the rest of us.

Harder than you I'm sure.

Harder than you I'm sure.

I'm pretty happy where I am in life.

Enjoy your props. :crying:

A good role model for Big Business.

Harder than you I'm sure.

I'm pretty happy where I am in life. I've worked extremely hard to get here. I've gone to school full-time while working full-time. Paid my dues flying around the patch while also working full-time in a non-aviation field. Three airlines and six type-ratings later, I can safely claim that I've worked hard to get here.

Does that hard work mean I'm entitled to a CEO salary? If so, sign me up.

Maybe if you work a little harder, you can graduate from being "Prop King."

The problem with CEO in the United States is that they don't even consider themselves as Americans. They feel that they are above such petty associations and as such are in a special royalty-like class that is not accountable to political leaders, or anyone else for that matter.

It is these types of CEOs that have brought ruin to the United States economy and indeed much of the world now. And after they loot their companies into their personal Swiss and Caribbean bank accounts, they complain the the taxpayers in the country that they've just looted should bail them out (and so they loot that money as well).

The CEOs that have looted the economies of these countries are nothing short of traitors and scum.
