What's wrong with America....



Here's one thing:
NEW YORK - Morgan Stanley on Friday said Chief Executive John Mack received compensation valued at about $41.7 million in 2007, a regulatory filing showed, a year when the investment bank's profit plunged 57 percent.
Imagine if, say, the barista at Starbucks did his or her job so badly the store lost 57% of its customers in one quarter.

I don't imagine he or she would be walking away with an equivalent cool amount.

One set of rules for the wealthy, another for the rest of us.

From here.
