They usually pull down a quarter mil a year, on the Board of Directors of some of those evil Corporations. Think of the great free coffee Bradley must get at the Starbucks Directors meetings. Next up: a directorship at Krispy Kreme.

I suspect its an order of magnitude more, after listening to Gore's exploits, and Clark's claims (sez he gave up $40 mil to run) They usually pull down a quarter mil a year, on the Board of Directors of some of those evil Corporations. (Sigh) I thought we settled the "evil" issue. Corps, including mine, are amoral, nothing to do with evil or holiness. For that reason they are not allowed to vote in spite of their legalized anthropomorphism, and should not have separate personification and influence in the political process, multiplying the power of individuals who have their own vote plus the influence of their corporate lobby.
