John, Well reasoned and well articulated. Thanks!!!! I'd like to hear Parish's comments to that... of course we wont. I suspect Parish is looking to get print and make a name for himself - what better way then to dis the darling of wall street. It's controversy that gets press.. ;)

No doubt. That's why I added Bill Parish to my mental ignore list. He's a moron and a sensationalist.

OT Hi John, RE: "tax rate was ~49%" If the money had been earned as wages (rather than stock options), it appears the total EE+ER tax figure would have been 69.2% instead of 49%. It appears, the government received 20.2% less in taxes, as in ET=EE+ER. I think all paychecks in the USA should show how much ET is being paid by both the Employee and Employer. Stock options are definitely the way to go - it saves money for corporations and it spurs growth because it motivates employees to work hard. Regards, Amy J
