This is envy if I ever saw it

What you illustrate has nothing to do with the condition we are in. A board of directors, approved by the stockholders, enlisted these people and gave them their pay packages. Most of these packages are based upon the gains that the company made during the period they were employed. Nothing wrong with that.

With those that left in 13 weeks, well that's the Boards decision... if you don't like it... tough.. unless they have done something wrong. So what is your beef? You want to be able to set the salaries of someone in private enterprise? Good... then you are willing to limit the salaries of movie stars too then right? Someone makes or invents something... they can only earn so much right... the rest goes to taxes?

People make this kind of money because of capitalism... Just because you are jealous of this only tells me that you feel left out. Good... Barrak Obama has your answer... he's going to buy your soul for $1,000. Take from the Rich and Give to the Poor.... only means that there will be more poor in the future. The poor in this country aren't all that poor, compared to world standard, so actually I'm really not sympathetic. I've been on welfare, I've been on Food Stamps... I've been broke... and you haven't seen anything yet till Barroke Obama get's his way... Taxes comes from earnings. If there are no earnings, there will be no taxes. If the Rich decide to stop working because of taxes, and they have the wealth to do this, YOU will pay for... and of course you will do it gladly, because, you want to tax the Rich....

Give me a break... I don't like all the WHINING people do because of someone elses good fortune. If they broke laws... I don't care who they are, they go to jail and pay back all they stole. Period. This includes Barney Franks and all the others involved in the Freddie and Fannie and the $145 millon that went to Raines and Company with the hundreds of thousands in kick backs to Dodds and Obama.... what no problems there?
