only thing that annoys me more than execs getting massive pay cheques are actors getting millions for being a twat in front of a camera....
Yeah that sucks too but at least that's usually fairly harmless, they just end up overdosing and everyone is better off for it.
Greedy execs have fucked over the entire world economy.
What about a politician ? Or a Prime Minister? They dont get super huge pays but get paid to fuck over a country, dont they?
Are you serious? politicians get massive pay, even a backbencher gets a pension for life if they've been there long enough.
http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2012/02/09/389075_gold-coast-queensland-state-election.htmlThe remnants of the `magnificant seven', unexpectedly swept into parliament in the 2001 Labor landslide, are eligible for a lifetime pension of between $90,000 and $100,000 a year or a lump sum of 10 times their annual pension.
....
The base salary for a backbencher is $137,149, so after 11 years' service the minimum annual payment is $78,860.
Julia Gillard gave herself a payrise recently and is now one of the most highly paid heads of state in the world (she gets more than the US president does).
Politicians are almost as bad as greedy execs - they're all pigs at the trough.
