I figured he made about half a mil... I was not expecting just over 800k. 
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

800K is pocket change to most CEO's of the bigger companies...He could make a boatload more as the Chief exec at another organization...

it depends on the company...  Some CEOs of 100 mil + in sales  compays ( I'm talking about whole foods in this case)   only make 300k.   While others make 10s of millions.

True.

Walmarts CEO this year on 378 Billion in sales will make over 31 million in salary and stock options, they were number one in total sales.  3M was the lowest sales of 100 companies at 24 billion and their CEO will make just over 17 million in salary and stocks...

GM lost 38 billion this year and the their CEO will make nearly 15 million....

I should have stayed in school and become an asshole!!!  Nice guys do finish last.....

I was at work...

the answer is...

the number of yearly NRA member ships needed to pay Wayne LaPierre salary...

That number really shocked me.


I hope that's a number you all are "one of"

yeah no shit... I still can't figure out how a company can lose money, yet the CEO gets paid... In private companys ( IE not traded)  you lose money, you pay, not get paid.

I know and this new auto maker bail out talk is really pissing me off!  Make a decent product at a competative price and people will buy that product!  If you make turds, learn how to improve the smell, improve the product, or close the doors...

That goes for all three of em and I'm a product of the auto industry.  My father and several good friends worked at GM for at least thirty years...

I'm not saying this becuase I like fords( I do, but in this case its the truth)   I went car shoping with a freind... we hit all the major auto makers, I mean all of them... the only makers that made a decent 4 door small car were:  Honda, Ford, BMW, auido and Volvo.    I mean every single other make were complete crap... I have always heard that toyota camerays were great... what a crock that is, The base line GM was better then the "limited" cameray.   Really the only Choice in makers to get a decent car at a price you could actually aford( less then 30k) were Honda and ford.

How about the Red Cross, Unicef, the United Way,... They do good things and the CEO's, and staff, admin, etc,.. all get paid from a "non-profit", aka "tax-exempt" corporation.

The CEO of the United way gets right about half a million, fair? worthy? no one is bitchin' about that figure.

The NRA is not tax-exempt, nor public, nor gov't subsidized,...

What would be a fair salary according to TAB for a private organization. How about the United Way or the Red Cross?

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
