How can seriously anyone possibly think what they do is worth $2000000+


....a year?

i mean sure Bill Gates earns a crapload of money but he donates to charity and takes better care of his employees. Don't get me wrong i'm sure he has done things that class him right up there with Roger but seriously $2000000+!!! what are they doing curing cancer?

i've been trying to figure that out, myself. i can almost understand inventors and entrepreneurs who revolutionize the world with a product or process making that kind of money, but the ceo of an old and established corporation does little more than keep watch over the flame that another man started. in my opinion, the line worker at gm does as much as more than rick wagoner because at the end of the day, the factory worker has made a tangible contribution to the corporation. in japan, the top man at a company does not make more than 10 times what the bottom man makes. can you imagine how many american jobs could be saved with the millions left over at major corporations if this strategy was enacted here?
