You really should compare apples to apples and their compensation packages to Wall Street, Detroit and Oil company execs. It’s not even close by many orders of magnitude.[/quote]
The difference that continues to elude you is that the money to pay those executives comes from the profit of actually making/selling a product in the private sector.
In the public sector, there is no natural limit on pay because pay is in no way tied to profit.
Do I think it is ridiculous that an oil company executive gets a $400 million retirement package? Absolutely…OTOH that executive ran a company that made trillions of dollars for the shareholders.
