And Take Pro Athletes, for example...

What's new in Whateverland?

The talking heads who work for major network media (you'll hear this on CNBC all the time, as if it's such a good point that it cuts off debate) have been spotted comparing (defending) CEO golden parachutes using the following rebuttal:

"we'll look at how much professional athlete make per year..."

So, the guy who drank his way through college, sucked it in for 2 years to get an MBA, and landed in the right musical chair, is like Tiger Woods, Hank Aaron, Wayne Gretsky or Joe Montana.

Jack Welch and Warren Buffett are like a professional athletes.

Are they? Are they like Pro Athletes, or are they more like George Stienbrenner, a businessman, period. Stienbrenner uses the system, and its loopholes, to maximize advantages for his team, which of course benefits nobody more than himself.

So try to remember when you pay higher local taxes for that new local football stadium they pushed through, that CEO pay should not be compared to the pay of the guy who jammed the new stadium through with lobbyists, but rather CEO pay should be compared to the entertainers who run, jump, shoot, block, punch, block and score, with their every move recorded on video for review, debate, discussion and fodder for talk radio circus call in shows.

This is the latest Whateverland...
