Which will get even fatter as time marches on.
It seems this guy could live just as comfortably on one-tenth of that package. I'd even go so far as to say 25% -- $100 Mil oughtta be more than enough for a 66-year-old man to finish out his golden years quite nicely.
Don't get me wrong - I'm no commie. I hope those seven years in the Army had something to do with deterring that threat. Capitalism is just fine with me.
I have nothing against rich folks. It's the American dream.
However, a $400 Million retirement package is obscene.
More than that, it's downright venal of Exxon/Mobil as well as Raymond, at a time when consumer pump prices are causing hardships across the continent, our Nation is mired in a needless war, and demand for supplies of oil are running rampant.
The system in general has been completely upended, abraded, abased, and bastardized by the unbridled expansion of major corporations and conglomerates.

The poster-girl for "Christian Virulence" began by attacking, in order: The Duke University LaCrosse team members who hired the stripper; the stripper for making her living thusly; Natalee Holloway and Imette St. Guillen for "bar-hopping."
In Coulter's world, guys who don't hire strippers won't rape or get accused of rape; if not hired, then strippers won't be raped or have anyone to accuse.
