In the 60’s the CEO’s of companies made 40 times as much as their staffs but now they make 400 times as much. Is it just me or does that also make you want to vote for whatever political party they are against like America did in the last presidential election.

  1. You are so right George…”Most accountants can’t tell the difference between good and bad talent.”

    They only know how to say, “we’re paying this guy/girl way too much. Can’t we get someone cheaper?”.

  2. I always meant to ask you Geo, where do all the above sayings come from in your blogs? Hard to believe that one man has that much knowledge about the world…..original opinions as well! OMG so, so many!!!

    • I’m not sure where they come from Terry, maybe I read them somewhere or heard them but so many pop in my head that I I have to keep a little recorder around so I don’t forget them. Most of the one liners also come with at least an hour’s worth of discussion which I don’t bore you with.
