[quote=threadkiller]CEO pay. When is it too much? http://www.aflcio.org/corporatewatch/paywatch/ceou/database.cfm#C
Notice one of the best CEO’s is also the lowest paid. Steve jobs $1. Did not find my company here but inquiring minds want to know. Am not endorsing the union but it is a very interesting lineup.

For the last several years rates have gone down and so have prices. Could it be possible for rates to go up and home prices too? I’m not seeing the demand myself but stranger things have happened.[/quote]

Dude. Might want to check the fine print.
Steve Jobs might take home a $1 salary, but he takes home a boatload of stock/stock options…

The other thing is that, if those equity grants were structured correctly (which normally is the case for exec’s), I wonder if it’s capital gains and versus ordinary income…and conversely wonder if social secuirty/sdi/etc taxes are even paid on that too.

…And don’t get me started on hedge fund managers who don’t pay ordinary income taxes….
