If you include stock as part of the pay, Apple paid its CEO quite well. Jack Welch (GE) was paid well too. These guys made huge amounts of money... and deserved it.
Only Rush can say for sure, but read his post again. I think you misunderstood him. It didn't sound to me as if he was advocating government piracy of corporate profits. Only an asshole Democrat would advocate that! I think he was saying that government has been doing that (in a most unethical and lawless manner), effectively interceding in the capitalist process and redirecting profits into its own coffers.
I agree with him and fear that government is going to do a lot more of this in the future. That (and money printing which is tantamount to the same thing, but directed at everyone) is the only economic plan the assholes have. I also agree with your assertion that "Good old capitalist competition IS the answer." Government has no business getting its thieving hands anywhere near "Good old capitalist competition" - except when fraud, crime or monopolistic practices are preventing said competition from occurring.
My posts are for CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTS ONLY. If you are a liberal, socialist, communist, democrat, media parrot or sympathizer with the above, then your opinions are neither welcome nor worthy.
