Seriously...being bitter because you're not part of the "rich elite," is starting to look bad. As I've said...work harder to raise yourself to their level, instead of dragging them all down to yours.
I don't usually agree with ABNS *prepares to shoot self in head* but CEO's get the salary they deserve. I work for a US Fortune 500 company with a high-priced CEO. He's worth every penny.

Like all employees some CEOs make mistakes, act out of greed, commit fraud. There's got to be enough regulation to prevent the mistakes/greed/fraud from getting out of hand and harming the economy.

It is unfortunate when a CEO runs a company into the ground and gets a multi-million dollar severance but that's how it works in a free market economy. The alternative is available to anyone who doesn't mind the inconveniences of communism.
