Boeing pays CEO more than it paid in taxes

Via the Dave Ross show - corporate and person greed reaches an all time high in a report that find Boeing and other big corporations entire tax burden is less than what they pay one employee.




The report claims Boeing only paid $13 million in federal taxes in 2010. That's about $800,000 less than Boeing CEO Jim McNerney made.

One of the reasons I dislike working for Costco is that 50% of its workers are denied health care coverage while executives are being paid fat cat multimillion dollar salaries in addition to receiving health care benefits. If corporate profits dont go to taxes then they need be distributed to the workers not a few suits at the top.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
