CEO's and top executives of American car companies.
Post record losses (somewhere in the region of $1.5 billion to $39 billion per quarter) for 3 years, build cars no-one wants to buy, blame (in order) the Japanese for building cars superior to yours, your workers for "crippling the company" and, then, your customers for not "considering your company for their next car" (despite the fact that the customers promised never to buy your products again after they were sold a lemon which was fresh from the factory). Then, (after exhausting every other option) ask your government for a $50 billion handout because your company is on the verge of bankruptcy and you need a "helping hand".

Once you have done all of this, only then can you feel that you have earned your $14 million salary and your pension, which, even if the company you ran goes bankrupt due to your management, it will still pay out (i.e. bankruptcy proof pension).




(Sadly) a true story.
