        At least his company makes something. Look at #pbm CEO salaries. They manufacture nothing and do nothing more than a credit card processor, but make salaries that dwarf GE's CEO.

        all these huge traditional company do is internal compensation, which means office politics.

        NFL Goodell is at,what,$50M/yr? How about $3-5M and be happy about it. Corp-execs...best negotiators on the planet. Greedy bunch, though.

        Still fail to understand how the exorbitant amount of money to do a job(that many people couldn't do,mind u) is justifiable. Greed.

        After cheating retirees of "lifelong healthcare" and sending so much work to Mexico? It's progress for shareholders then.
