A spouter noted, "The CEOs of the corporations in the 10 biggest U.S. merger deals this year will rake in a combined estimated $430 million...It would take the typical American household 830 years of work to get what the average CEO will receive." It's true they may be paid too much, but how did they get to that position? They studied hard in school, worked hard in entry level jobs, made smart decisions and used the system to their own advantage. Let's face it, not everyone is CEO material. Let's stop being jealous of the rich guys; be happy with what we have.
