Isenberg is contractually entitled to a $100 million payment in the event that he is fired or that the firm otherwise makes a change in control.

No, what I'm wondering is why what he gets paid is any of your business.  Seriously, not kidding here.   Please explain it to me.

Get mad at those that agreed to pay him so much.

They're probably lazy liberal spouses that don't know squat about the business.

They complain about this stuff, but they defend union workers making twice as much as the taxpayers in a given state, like Wisconsin.

BFD blueballs.  As long as he has not done anything illegal to get this contract payout it is of no concern to me nor should it be to you.

I bet the family fortune that the DUmmies want every 'damn dime' of what they have been promised in government payments/wages/inheritance/whatever.

He has been promised a 100 mil so pay him when it comes due.

There's a distinction the primitives never make.

If one doesn't care for the policies of a corporation, one is utterly free to not purchase the goods or services of that corporation.  I've done that myself.

In this case, if one thinks the guy's being paid too much, one doesn't have to do business with them.

But one has no choice when it comes to a wasteful government overpaying its employees; one has to pay nonetheless, or get into all sorts of trouble.

Do the DUmbasses have any problem with actors making that in a year?

No.

Or as Neal Boortz puts it: "The gov't requires you to pay them at gun point."
