I'd say he's got that dollar amount at about the right place.

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like plain old sour grapes to me. Jealous, much?

We need to just go with the Fair Tax. It's got a few kinks, but they could be worked out.

Sounds like plain ole GREED to me. Sure I'd like to be making 250,000 but it will NEVER happen in my lifetime. I'd like to know how some people can feel they are just worth so much!

If your child had cancer and a surgeon who made 300k a year were to save it's life, would you begrudge him the income or years of study he did to save your child's life?

I can't believe some of the responses on 'who cares what costs the wealthy incur'.

Of course I wouldn't begrudge a surgeon! Out of that 300,000 he probably pays an arm and a leg for malpractice ins! Plus if he is part of a corporation he /she probably had to "buy into" that corporation. I would NEVER begrudge Dr.s the money they make,THEY if anybody deserve to make big bucks. I couldn't take standing for hours on end performing surgeries.


I am talking about the CEO's of Insurance companies, of Oil companies, they are the greedy pigs as far as I'm concerned.

While I am absolutely jealous of those like CEOs who make millions a year, if it was offered to any of us, who would turn it down.
