Sallies, please correct me if I am wrong, but if a small business was failing wouldn't the owner put all of their own wealth into the business, the farm to try and save it - to keep it running?  So why don't we first, hear, about the CEO's and the whole list of other such people having to put back their salaries, and their stocks, and homes, and holdings, up, to try and save the business; seems a little bit like favoritism.

    Arvin I am so far away from such decisions, I couldn't even begin to say what is serving America and country and what is serving and preserving self interest.  I understand protecting self-interest when we, talk about America's self-interest, but these business people should give back their salaries.  Heck, we even hear about congress-individuals giving back their salaries or not taking a pay raise.
