I'd really like to be that stupid. For that kind of money, you can call me whatever names you want. I read a story the other day about some hedge fund managers making over a Billion dollars last year (that's with a capial "B"). And if you follow the "Wall Street" link on Ed's link to Forbes, you'll see a similar article. At the risk of offending some, I think you should be able to get whatever you can negotiate. More to the point; Why would you deny someone the right to earn whatever they can ??? If you run through this list, you'll find complaints about offshore types working for too little. Then you'll find complaints about CEO types earning too much. What is the right amount ??? And who is going to make those rules ??? Are you saying everyone should make the same amount ??? Or maybe you'd like to vote on how much your neighbor earns ??? Or maybe dictate what your neighbor earns ??? Or is it that you want to let them earn that much as long as they slide you a bit ??? And why pick on CEOs ??? You should be going after anyone who earns more than the amount the elites decide is too much and probably anyone who earns less than the amount the elites decide is too little. Wouldn't that be fair ??? Or maybe that would be too fair ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
