Lesson in Humility

Published on August 9, 2007 By stevendedalus In Politics

How about a tentative dictum that all CEOs work for a dollar a year? And wouldn’t it be nice for a Lohann and A-Rod-ilk be required to learn some humility with a hundred thousand a year salary? And who wouldn’t want Paris to visit Paris with just a c-note in her handbag?

or take on the responsibilities of a CEO for a dollar a year - works both ways (not taking sides, just pointing out the flip side to this one)

Why a dollar? Why not $.99? Or $1.06 for the tax?

For the young'ns: "the dollar a year man" was the high-powered executive who patriotically went to D.C. to help mobilize and manage the war.

Thanks for the history lesson. I always say I learn something new everyday. I was joking though, guess I still have a lot of work to do on it.

Chas, I suppose in today's dollars it would be more like thirty dollar a year man, & woman.
