He took the initiative to know the right things, meet the right people, find the right job for him, then reap some of the rewards. That's Capitalism, and I'll take it over Socialism and Communism any day, thank you very much.
In this country, anyone with the guts to take a chance can end up just like whats-his-name. There are plenty of people who are legitimately deserving of their success. Just because you're not as successful isn't his fault.
There! I said it. | |

There! I said it. | I don't recall saying I was jealous. I recall questioning why this is headline news. I think it's great that he can do what he did. Unfortunately most of us won't be able to. Thanks for your concern. | |

It's SEC news. Certain levels of management at UPS have to file with the SEC to sell stock. If I'm not mistaken, he just retired. | |
