That's Ridiculous

I heard a story on Tech Trader that just about took the cake. The story about dead CEOs of major companies and their benefits after they've died. To summarize, we're not talking about small change here, but billions, yes that's billions of dollars to dead people. I'm sorry about losing them, but they certainly don't need the money, nor do the estates of the people. If the families of the CEOs along the way didn't or refused to save enough money so that they could be fine, then that's their problem. The shareholders and taxpayers and everyone else shouldn't have to keep Fe-Fe in her 6 mansions.

Talk about fleecing of America. That' terrible. Give the money to charities, pay down more company debt, give it to shareholders, but don't waste it on dead people. It's no wonder there is a dichotomy between the rich and the poor. A billion dollars could help out a lot of other people. We are all to blame for this horrible use of commonsense.
