No they just sock it to the average joe to keep the stock holders happy. Yep I'm sure the former CEO of Enron were well respected. And what about these CEOs J.C. Penney’s Ron Johnson and Sears’s Eddie Lampert, ran their companies’ fortunes into the ground. Yep they did not just strolled in off the street these are the people who are paid the big bucks and have just ruined these large historic retailers. But I know its never the top brass fault its always the average worker union or non union. Yep close down stores lay people off just because some millionaire CEO screwed up.

For every 1 "rags to riches" CEO type person like Steve Jobs, there are thousands of broke people who tried and failed. Everyone else was born into money, went to Harvard or Yale or Princeton because their daddy did, and rode that gravy train to some xEO position or board position. Despite skill or merit.

We are talking over 30 million CEOs .. Where is the story how they got where they are with out Skill or Merit?? so that we can see how they road that "Gravy Train". Being born to a rich family and going to a nice college does not make you inept or evil. Unless you watch a lot of MSNBC. Well now with Brian Williams you know know that the truth matters with the news.

Yeah Bain Capitol buys business strips them gets rid of people cuts their pensions then sells them yep the American way, the rich get richer the American worker gets screwed. I guess they teach that at Harvard business school because Romney was a pro at it how many lives did his company destroy.

You're describing a life of hard work and perseverance. Most young people are too lazy to do the school work that Ford and Romney did in their youth.

Could imagine a hood rat inheriting millions and then deciding to go study at a grindhouse like Princeton, Harvard, or MIT? LOL, the image of that is cracking me up!
