The Wall Street Journal reported online late Tuesday that Benmosche told AIG's board he was "done" with the job, although he reportedly is reconsidering his stance in the face of the board's dismay.Remind me again, do these guys live on the same planet as the rest of us? I worked as a waiter for a long time at many restaurants and if someone walked out without paying, I had to cover their bill. How come these guys lose an amount of money greater than most countries' GDP and they gripe about taking a pay cut that brings them down to the GDP of a small city?

$10.5 Million Too Low For AIG CEO
LAST YEAR AIG EXECUTIVES COCKED THINGS UP so badly that the US government had to pony up $182.5 billion dollars to keep the insurance giant from going tits up. Apparently some thing that's no reason to pay AIG executives any less. Sheesh, how's a CEO expected to live on $10.5 million? Well, obviously, it's unreasonable and that's why Robert Benmosche has told the AIG Board of Directors that they can "take this job and shove it!"

Because they are special. Privileged. Hasn't the H1N1 taught you anything. The children of Private Schools are more important than children that go to public schools. Privileged is a way of life, not just a word. Privileged is why we have 2 tier health care, justice systems, imperialism, inequality, capitalism instead of democracy, HST for businesses, and so on.
If you have something up your nose, then make a case for why revolution has turned into establishment.
