I didn't know some AARP executives had seven-figure compensations. Wow! They won't get my money.

May I conclude that you are not among those who chide progressives for being critical of the enormous salaries paid to CEOs of big corporations like Exxon, Morgan Stanley, etc.? I hear it all the time from right-wing pseudo economists, who fervently contend that the big bucks paid to these moguls of industry are simply what they are entitled to, that it is the marketplace, the blessed "free market economy" that determines compensation levels.

While not agreeing with this marketplace concept, I must nevertheless ask, could it not be, then, that for a very successful enterprise like AARP, the same principle would apply? Probably not, in the eyes of the warped wingers, who view the AARP as the spawn of Satan because it supported health care reform.


AARP is a tax-exemp not for profit organization. Not the same thing as a corporation trying to make money. Debate-fail on this one better.
