9. So, these "super hero" CEOs that must be paid HUGE amounts of money

Aren't worth it because they can't turn a profit without corporate welfare paid for by taxpayers.

So much for the "we have to pay them well to get and keep the best people..." line.

Note to corporations: If your top people can't guide your company toward profitability, they aren't doing their job and aren't worth their salaries. Perhaps cutting their salary by 90 percent or so would be a good start toward making a profit. First, you save money by cutting their salaries, and you may get lucky and they'll quit, allowing you to find someone who can actually DO THE JOB at a fraction of what you've been paying.

Congress wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid while allowing this. There's another group of people who should be cut for not doing their jobs!
