I didn't say he got it illegally. I will say again, so many of the rules in which these corporations operate is nothing more than legal corruption which is sponsored by the system our government has bought into by Wall Street, and Corporations. Can't imagine why?
Many of our corporations today are abroad and doing business in communist led countries, and one example, GE whose all over the world pays no corporate tax. Think you can get away without paying payroll or property tax?
I give a shit less what Gates has created, or if someone would be willing to give him a trillion dollars for msft, all the power to him, no one could dispute that it was his to sell, and if the money paid to him was clean who would care if he was paid 10 trillion. But the money he gets is "not" money generated by Msft, "again its shareholder dollars", and the shareholders don't get proxies in the mail to vote on it.
Is there something I'm missing here?. Any private non trading company pays its employee's by check, and the owners can only pay themselves what the business can truly support, why should a publicly trading company be any different?, and why should Gates or anyone within his company, and I'm only using Msft as an example get rewarded in billion(s) selling stock into the market?.
Its obvious thats it not a problem for bankers who publicly trade, or Goldman, or even Aig who sold all those CDS policies???.
The lot of them were getting tens of millions just for being an insider, and paid in stock, and options.
