Raymond,

I don't recall saying employee theft was the greatest problem facing America and I KNOW you did not see me type it either. I guess in your world there is NO other subject than CEO/Bush bashing but some of us think of other things.

To be fair to you, you have been critizing CEO chicanery/ vaporware puffery/ WS investment bankers bagholder recruiting practices and the like for years. This is nothing purely political for you. (IOW, you're not on this tangent because your friend Bush is in the White House). I'm sure your impressed with the deftness with which McCaliflower, of DNC fame exited with his $18,000,000.

Regarding CEO compenastion my feeling are mixed. While the sums these guys make are indeed obscene, a few thoughts arise. If these pay schemes are this juicy and their jobs are so easy, why don't others take the job?? Our society has become a jealous one in which many elect to sit around pining about what others have instead of putting their shoulder to the grindstone and doing the work they need to to be successful.

The selling began in 1999, selling from obscene heights that your pals here sem to think were warranted here and sustainable if only AlGore the Votewhore, had been elected.

Indeed the clinton Bubble was one of the greatest wealth transfer schemes ever. Did you get the McCaliflower memo saying it was time to get out?
