Hi Bobby, IMHO I beleive that is just small change that these CEOs get. They spend more on advertising then they give them. The real cost lie in the reality of doing business. The governments of the world have made doing business very expensive. Governments, including ours want Corporations to take care of the people, not the people taking care of themselves. Tell me where it says that a corporation is your momma or your poppa. Add up all the hidden costs of doing business that governments have placed on them. The French are the worst. The population in France have come to beleive that the government owes them something. It is common sense that tell you that you can not continue to support non productivity. You can not drink from the glass forever without putting something back into it. The glass in the industrial countries is getting empty. To condone non productivity as a solution for ones lazyness or irrisponsibilites is not the answer. Europeans want it both ways and we know it doesn't work. History has shown us that. Ask yourselves what has happend to all the great societies, civilizations, cultures, empires. There are no free lunches. Someone has to pay for it somewhere down the line. Ron
