Looking thru the Houston Chronicle website for Ike info, I ran into this "search salaries" section.

Houston's highest-paid executives

Click on their names and it gives a breakdown on how their compensation is calculated. Their "Termination of employment" $$$$ alone will make your jaw drop.

1. And I'll bet not one of them lost a house yesterday, either.

4. Rich people's houses

I doubt that it would matter to these pigs if they lost a house in Houston. they would just stay in one of their hunting loges or a fancy hotel until the insurance company rebuilt their house. You can bet they will not be turned down for their claim!!!!!!!

2. 393 men, just in Houston, make between $1,000,000 and $50,500,000!!

I'm guessing this is per year. James Mulva of ConocoPhillips has the highest income. Something is terribly wrong in our country. By the way, our city has no gas to sell anywhere right now---all sold out!

3. We retirees on a fixed income look at that chart in utter disgust

My husband and I are retired and are managing, but so many others have a daily struggle. To see the obscene money these people "earn" makes my stomach churn!

6. "Termination of employment"= golden parachute

Tens of millions of dollars...for EACH of them. Disgusting. They'd make more money getting fired than if they stay on.

5. The problem isn't high pay per se, but rather that....

Their interests don't align with the shareholders' interests.
