"But at least (most) CEOs don't make their money off of the taxpayer dime."

You seem to be forgetting the financial sector. They are way at the top of the list. Yet, not much but hot air has been done about those billions of bonuses.

Sure they do. Where would any company be without government research, infrastructure, police/fire, etc? Plus, a lot of our elected officials make in that ballpark. That's taxpayer money. And I have no problem with it -- they're our leaders.

And there's a HUGE difference in scope between a couple hundred grand and eight figures.
