It's nothing more than the end justifies the means when all you have is feelgood nonsense to sway voters.

And it's working.

If a person with verifiably the precise skills Steve Jobs had appeared in Cupertino and said, "I'll take the job for $800 Million", should Apple pay that?

Interesting argument, lets expand a little on this and see where to it might lead in a totally different context:

If a person with verifiably the precise skills of Jesus Christ had appeared in the Vatican and said, "I'll take the job for $800 Million", should they accept him for the new Pope?

Any inputs from any side of politics welcome :)

Inode, playing devil's advocate again, consider the fact that for every Steve Jobs you can point to six failures such as Leo Apotheker of HP or Kevin Rollins of Dell.

These guys made tons of money while their companies went down the toilet.

Liberals believe that government should do something about that.
