Default Re: Stoops to get $6 million

Doesn't anyone out there anymore think that there is such a thing as "too much"? My main point of disgust is with corporate CEO's and their little golden parachute packages that pay them ten of millions of dollars to leave when they fail at their jobs.

That said, I get similarly disgusted at these coaches contracts which pay them all sorts of ridiculous bonuses, basically just for "being there". As if his base pay wasn't enough?

And yeah, people will jump in here and say "it's worth it", and "that's what the market dictates", and "that's how capitalism works", but in the end it's just greed.

I've never seen a man worth 6 million dollars doing any job, unless he's capable of negotiating world peace. A 3 million dollar bonus could certainly be put to better use in this world besides padding Bob Stoop's bank account, or is the poor guy in danger of starving to death?
