That CEO makes $42 million a year? I need that job. It was probably easy to get to where he sits.

Which CEO is that?

[thethe]

Instead of the minimum wage worker helping themselves the collective has to help them. So sad....

More than a handful do. Not salary of course but they're usually by pretty easy to attain bonuses and things of that nature.

The collective has to help them. By not patronizing bad businesses.

Its usually in the form of stock compensation so its the ultimate alignment of goals for the company and salary for the head employee.

and it could very well go the other direction and they could lose.

The collective doesn't HAVE to help anyone. Everyone is in control of their own future if they want to be aside from those that are sold into slavery.

Absolutely, but typically these CEO's are individuals from teh top of their classes and understand the ever growing interrelated global economy. Their decisions are key to making a company profitable. I know I'm satisfied with the CEO's of the stocks I own.

9 do.

Usually yes because people prefer it that way (taxes).

But for example, Larry Ellison received a total compensation of 96.2 Million, while his company's revenue fell 4%. Which means he has pretty easy goals to hit to be awarded his options. Some guys deserve high pay (Elon Musk taking Tesla from nothing to where it's at now is a great example) some don't. But for example the beloved CEO of Liberty Media and Liberty INteractive hit a combined compensation of 102.5 million dollars. you cannot say that he did that much to Liberty to justify that much compensation compared to his colleagues. Some CEOs have cushier jobs than others, it's not secret.

9 do.

According to AFLCIO who gets their information from company reportings, there are 15 CEOs who made 40 million or more. As I said more than a handful, I just didn't care to count before.

Attitudes like that are why there is such a ridiculous wealth disparity in this country. A country with our GDP we shouldn't have so many struggling folk. And rewarding the wrong companies plays a big part of that.

Where are you seeing Oracles revenues dropping?

Its flat out true and those that don't want work hard (for the most part) are the ones that don't believe it. You have said yourself that you could make more money then you do but you don't want to. Hey man, more power to you but its clear that you have the option like most others do.

The country will collapse from within as soon as the takers outnumber the makers

The last two Presidents have instituted socialized medical programs... The next President will do the same... eventually, the nation of takers will not be able to sustain itself

HA!

I was going off the 42 number above.

Speaking of patronizing ...

Yeah but I have the luck, skill, whatever it may be to always have a job that earns around the median income. I could be a much higher wage earner if I stuck to car sales or went into industrial sales. But again, not everyone has that option because of skills or whatever.
