Those "in the know" and those working in much of the corporate world don't think $317k is a lot of money. They just figure it's what they deserve, since their pals have similar salaries. Everybody has their own reality. --Vic It's *not* a lot of money for a high-powered, well-connected lawyer in a big city. Yes, for a top flight lawyer doing lawyer jobs. Not for an not needed position at a hospital, where you get a 100% raise when your spouse becomes a State Senator. Sounds more like bribery! A top-flight rainmaker lawyer is going to be earning a hell of a lot more than a couple of hundred thou in NY, Chi, DC, LA, SF, et cetera. Since you have no way of knowing whether Mrs. Obama was "needed" or not, or what she accomplished, your opinion on this matter is worth your usual nothing. -- Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |
