  12. The obscene salary of ' top ' C E Os in Australia ( $ 53 million P A ) leaves litle for ' shareholders ' to celebrate . ( not forgetting all thos junior Executive Officers ). The J E Os always vote for bigger pay increases , as they climb that corporate ladder . spacesailor

He has his trade certificate, but was threatened with court action when his Labourer dropped something, causing damage somewhere. Never worked a day since . what could they get out of him . spacesailor
