We are marching toward total corporate governance

The Enron scandal didn't cause a ripple for America's 500 largest companies.

Personal income for the CEOs of the S&P 500 doubled from $4.1 billion in 2000 to $8.1 billion in for 2003. This would not include the most recent tax breaks for the wealthy Bush signed in 2004.

Lee Raymond, Exxon's chief executive, is called "emperor" by an insider because he has more unaccountable power than the heads of the G8 (industrialised countries).

I want to know which CEO is getting my stolen vote.

5. Capitalism without restraint, you gotta love it. No checks and balances

here... move on... nothing more to see. Just the wreckage of a government that used to be based upon the principles laid out in the constitution. America no more... no borders, no national profile, just ledger sheets and CEO bank accounts. Praise god and pass the ammunition.
