Selling Death

If Phillip Morris Int can pay its CEO 36.9 million for one year's work, just think how much this company makes selling its poison outside the country.

The Chinese export deadly toys and other stuff to the US, so it only makes sense for us to ship cigarettes, guns, and liquor over there, doesn't it?

I figure this way we make money over here and maybe conquer the rest of the world by exporting all of our vices to them.

I have an idea. Lets fix these clowns once and for all. Gather a bunch of capable people who will rise up thru the ranks with their own success and join these companies. Here is the trick. If these successful people get put in place, see what they offer for compensation and tell them you will only accept a tenth of what they offer. That will ruin the market for these execs. If that don't work, accept even less. Sooner or later, that will run down the market and these execs will be accepting other jobs for more money.
