Thanks Arun, lets agree to disagree.

IMHO no one on earth deserves a salary of $70 million - there should be trickle down and a reasonable scale between the low ranking clerk and top manager.

There is a huge difference between one inventing something and reaping huge profits and between running an organization with a team in place which is very profitable.

As to the Russians it is a complete different cup of tea, in a complete different direction but in a way with similar results

Even that I prefer capitalism it seems that I am still a socialist at hearth <GGG> all people should be able to have a decent life
