Trust me, the next sound you hear will be not be tea party members, republicans, or conservatives complaining about how overpaid Ford CEO Alan Mulally is: $26.5 million for 2010. But, you know, $50,000 for a teacher, or a firefighter, or a law enforcement officer....I keep reading these pieces from conservatives telling us how everyone has made sacrifices and public sector workers should, too. How about CEOs, guys? Didn't think so (slurp, slurp).
Make no mistake--Mulally did a whale of a job, and Ford has really turned it around. But $26.5 million worth? As Bob King, UAW President, notes, it's "morally wrong."
And the worst part? Reading Mulally trying to defend the indefensible, saying his pay was aligned with the company's performance, and was the "...way it should be." Should be in what alternate universe? Because unless Ford employees began shitting gold bars last year, it wasn't great enough to create that kind of salary in this universe. Period.
