Disgraceful, that they not only receive this much pay, but all of the other perks that they receive make them overpaid, overfed and open to corruption

Walked away from a good paying job in commercial real estate 7 years ago this month after deciding it wasn't for me. All of these companies were our clients. Making a lot less now but happy I walked away when I did. Wouldn't be able to stomach it now.

Yeah, but President Reagan promised us this money would trickle down. I know it's been over 40 years of waiting for that to happen, but you need to be a little more patient. 😉
