Here's one for you John Chen,

Richard Grasso, the chairman and chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange, was paid a lump sum of $139m in deferred compensation and his contract was extended to 2007, the NYSE said on Wednesday in an unprecedented move to disclose the compensation of its leadership.
The sum is more than the exchange's combined net income for the last three full years. And look who decides, his buddies on the BOD for whom he administers the exchange where their stock is traded. Ah, public traded companies, nothing more than an aggregation of public money to make it easier for the top dogs to steal.

JP Comment: All the suckers work for peanuts, while the top guy scoops up ALL THE "PUBLIC" PROFITS, AND THEN SOME!

Yeah, It's looking like Dubyah will be the Herbert Hoover of the 21st century. I wonder if the Dems will even WANT to deal with the deficit next election. They're always criticized as "tax and spend" but in my mind that beats "borrow and spend" any day of the week.
