These are the same CEO's who complain about working-class people who unionize and negotiate decent pay and benefits for the people who make businesses run.
Are millions in Angie's List advertising expenses going into CEO Bill Oesterle pocket also? http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/05/ibj-exposes-self-dealing-by-angies-list.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
