If a CEO who is 300 times the average worker makes "earned" their money?

CEO for an hour is about as productive as 300 average working time. Even as Lehman Brothers was descending into bankruptcy, the CEO was getting at $ 470 million dollars, because a company is to ruin a good thing obvious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy_of_Lehman_Brothers # Lehman.27s_final_months http://www.aflcio.org/corporatewatch/paywatch/ceou/top100.cfm

Clearly not. But have you ever seen how many CEOs got into this position? They have an education and worked up the ladder. Not many people are just "given", that work without earning. People I know who work hard, have no life-her life is her business and eventually they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. Instead of punishing them and whine about how much they make, everyone should strive to BE a CEO. Then you can see if it really as easy as you think. At least The government did Lehman Brothers collapse. It is the only smart move by the Bush administration made before they were finished. Propping the rest of the companies was a terrible Error that Obama in so many other industries (auto, union, teacher, etc) continued. Freddie Mac CEO has more than that and walks away spared by the disaster. I am absolutely not that CEOs who should leave on bad terms payotus to get, but most of them have contracts to determine what it takes. Therefore, AIG received a "bonus" last year. They also signed labor contracts, where they would get paid a minimal amount during the year and when it reaches production quotas and numbers they had "earned" their bonuses. It was crazy for Obama to try and taxes by 90%
