The high salaries of CEOs have nothing to do with profit margins. Look at AMD, for example.

Do you really want to denigrate any company who's CEOs have such outrageous compensation packages, or just those standing in the way of your political agenda?

> Thanks, Steve... Microsoft only owns a sliver of MSNBC these days.

Doesn't make what I said incorrect.

Z, that's so stupid. I for one know that UnitedHealth Group increased its gross profits by consolidation. Yet their profit margins remain in the single digits. That's hardly a fat margin.

Fat enough that their CEOs can get 8 and 9 figure compensation packages and that shareholders are pretty happy.

Most firms PMs are in the single digits. That would include Intel as well.
