Now if the company is in the red and your still taking $100MM, that's another story.
As a business owner, you only get to keep the net after taxes, whatever that is but you get to keep 100% of the losses. If we keep putting restrictions on business, we will kill the incentive for entrepreneurs to risk 100% of there money, if they are only able to keep 10% of your profit. Seriously, how many people that are complaining would sign up for that program?

Al -- I'd ordinarily agree with you -- and since I've owned SEVERAL businesses and have done extraordinarily well at it I would normally side with you -- but (that danged big BUTT) -- what we've witnessed is companies laying off employees and STILL getting these giant bonuses.... and or GETTING FIRED and collecting millions after they screwed the company up and cost many people their jobs. THAT is what people are so dismayed to see. It's just all upside-down... just like when the worst credit history folks got the lowest most favorable terms to buy houses they couldn't afford. When the "norm" goes upside-down... is when you have outrage.
