So why does the board agree to give the CEO's so much money? You tell us.

I believe I've answered that one already.Strategist says

Most CEO's are at the genius level. I believe that applies mostly to the Fortune 500.

Please stop. You are hilarious.

This is what Bigs and Tat don't understand with their version of socialism. They want wealth equality, but the wealth equality they are looking for will lower the bar for EVERYONE, including them.

My version of socialism is the US in the 1950s and1960s. Was the bar lowered for everyone then? Please show me some data that shows the US economy was worse during those decades then it is now.

Bob Nardelli's a genius? I thought they got most CEOs from a pool of members down at the "whites only" country club.

Because many of these highly paid idiots ruin companies a la Fiorina, but actually get hired again to destroy their next company.

If it were merit based, a lot of them wouldn't have gotten the job in the first place, nor proceed to fail upwards.

You know where I lived when I was in NJ. It sure as hell wasn't in Ocean county.

Westfield >>>>>>>> Toms River (except price of homes). After all, everyone who buys a home anywhere that's expensive has to be an 'idiot'.

Despite my family being there and doing well, I'd never raise kids there myself, even if it is better than where I grew up in Bumblefuck, NM.
