Soldiers Die, CEOs Prosper
While Army privates died overseas earning $25,000 a year, David
Brooks,
the disgraced former CEO of body-armor maker DHB, made $192 million in
stock sales in 2004. He staged a reported $10 million bat mitzvah for
his daughter. The 2005 pay package for Halliburton CEO David Lesar,
head of the firm that most symbolizes the occupation's waste,
overcharges, and ghost charges on no-bid contracts, was $26 million,
according to the report's analysis of federal Securities and Exchange
Commission filings.
``Those examples take the cake, especially because it's all related to
their government contracts, which is money straight out of the
taxpayer's pocket," Leondar-Wright said.

Hey, what good is a war if you can't make a $$$ out of it???
Like Lesar's "pay" was about a million bucks per soldier killed... good
money if you can get it.
Oh and let's not forget that everytime Haliburton stock goes up that
that fat nazi pig Cheney's "retirement" package gets a boost... oh and
his lovely wife who sits on the board of Lockheed-Martin a major defence
contractor who have also made out like bandits under this
administration.. it must be very useful to have the wife of the VP on
your board eh???
We won't even mention the Bush family ties to the Carlyle Group and the
"revolving door" between Dumbsfeld's defence dept. and major defence
contractors..
But you won't find a rightard that will evidence even a momentary qualm
about all these greedy repug pigs feeding at the public trough.. Oh
No... but let some single mom use a food stamp for anything other than
"kraft dinner" and they will be all over it, like a starving dog on a T-
Bone ....
Total hypocrisy, no morals, "I GOT mine.. so ***** you", just about sums
up the bankrupt rightard "philosophy"...
